Divine Intervention
A Post Office worker at the main sorting office finds an unstamped, poorly hand-written envelope, addressed to God. He opens it and discovers it is from an elderly lady, distressed because all her savings, $200, has been stolen. She will be cold & hungry this Easter without divine intervention.
He organizes the postal workers, who dig deep and come up with $180 to donate. They get it to her by special courier the same morning.
A week later, the same postal worker recognizes the same handwriting on another envelope. He opens it:
"Dear God,
Thank you for the $180 for Easter, which would have been so bleak otherwise.
P.S. The missing $20 was probably stolen by those crooks at the Post Office. So, you'd better keep an eye on them!"
