A LETTER TO GOD
The post office received a letter addressed “To God.” Not knowing where to deliver it, they forwarded it to one of the nearby churches.
The pastor read it at the next charity committee meeting;
Dear God,
I hate to bother you but my family is having it tough rite now. The rent it two month’s due, my wife is expecting and my car is broke down. Plus I just lost my job as a night watchman due to sleeping on the job. Please send us 1,000 bucks and I won’t bother you again.
The pastor read the name and one of the members recognized it. “He lives right down the street from the church,” she said. “This might be a good way to witness to him and show him we care”.
The others agreed but the church fund was only to help members. Finally after much discussion they decided to pool their resources and give from their church and sent it to him.
Months passed with no word of thanks or even acknowledgement. Some time later they received another letter forwarded to them addressed to God. It was from the same fellow.
Dear God,
I hate to bother you again, but I lost my new job at the shoe store, my car was wrecked and my wife is in the hospital again. Please send me 1,000 bucks to get these creditors off our backs.
Thanks again,
P.S: Please send it to me directly this time. Last time you sent it through the church next door and those crooks keep half of it. :star:
