[NSRCA-discussion] Christmas Spirit

[Jerry Stebbins]

      Ahh, the spirit of Christmas is alive and well---hope you all had a merry one. 

      A friend sent this and I had to share it with our somber group

      Gotta go get ready to fly a "Polar Bear" flyin on the 1st.

      There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it 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 check.

      Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for
      dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with.

      I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.

      Can you please help me?

      Sincerely,
      Edna

      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 Edna
      and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends.

      Christmas 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 must have been those
      bastards at the Post Office.
