A mailman picked up the mail from a house on his route, but before he put it in his bag he noticed that one of the envelopes had no stamp on it. It was also not sealed and addressed to “God in Heaven.” Taking a quick peek, the postman read, “I’m way too old to believe in Santa Claus, but I still believe in you and need your help. We’re so broke this Christmas we can’t afford a gift for our little boy. But if I had ten bucks, we could get him something nice.”
The postman was moved by this letter, and so he grabbed an empty envelope, scrawled “From God” on the outside, stuffed six dollars – all the cash he had on him – in the envelope and returned it to the mail box.
The next day he found another letter addressed to God. He excitedly opened it. “Dear God,” it began, “Thank you from the bottom of my heart for answering my prayer, but there was only six dollars, not ten, in the envelope. I know why. It’s those crooks at the post office!”
