The Letter to God – Very Nice


There was a man who  worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had  illegible addresses.  One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky  handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it  to see what it was about.

The Letter read:
Dear God,
I am  an 83 year old widow, living on a very small pension.  Yesterday someone  stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next  pension payment.

The coming Sunday I had invited two of my  friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food  with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help  me?

Sincerely,

Saima

The postal worker was touched. He  showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her  wallet and came up with a few dollars.   By the time he made the  rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the  woman.

The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm  glow thinking of Saima and the dinner she would be able to share with her  friends.

Sunday came and went..

A few days later,  another letter came from the same old lady to God.   All the  workers gathered around while the letter was opened.

It  read:

Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for  what you did for me?  Because of your gift of love, I was  able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and  I told my friends of your wonderful gift.By the way, there was  $4 missing.  

I think it might have been those thieves at  the post office!!

    some persons are never satisfied with what they get, you can only be happy if you are satisfied with what you have.

    too bad stuff like that doesnt happen in real life.

    Its is indeed nice story and lesson learn from this letter is that, reply of letter is letter, reply of e-mail is e-mail, reply of Card is Thank you card, reply of Mobile call is Mobile call. Now sum of the letter is one human being should help other human being, God will not come down and help you, only he will put some good thoughts and make your heart soft enough to understand the feeling of others.

    Giving money for good cause means , building society and building Country.
    Without money no good work can be done, Sp please donate few % from your earning each month, specially on elderly people.

    Best regards to all

    What if you have done something for God sake, your expectation is from God alone, people will always hurt they whole heartedly collected this much amount for an old lady but their reward is from God, that lady being human responded the capacity she could but their noble cause cannot be matched with human response.

    Avery old story.But always a pleasure to revisit, and reflect upon man’s geenerosity and egoism.

    That’s life. Sometimes we do d same thing unknowingly. So, NO BADGUMAANI i.e. don’t think evil of others

    There must be a lesson for the fund raiser at the post office! the story is nice.

    You can expect anything from OLD PEOPLE…. though it has funny ending, but then it has a lesson… The ones who believe in ALLAH, surely get their expectations true. Secondly, the passion of helping others, to make their belief firm, is seen worthy.
    Thank You Sara, for lots of impressive stories.

  30. gulshan April 24, 2010 at 11:10 AM #

    please read full story and then comment it is not a bad story

    the nicer thing in story is the collecting money for her , and those p/o staffers save the natural mode on God for that woman” human always ask to God when he gota alone and no one going to help him, then God create the humble in hearts of people.
    the other thing is that nice and helpful ppl cannot feel that things like that woman ask “By the way, there was $4 missing. I think it might have been those bastards at the post office”, and it was realty coz she was not know whats going on for her in the post office.
