An old lady asks God for help.
In the highlands of Scotland lives an elderly lady in a house outside a small village. A harsh winter is coming and the lady is very worried she can’t pay the gas bill that winter. With no family left, she turns to God and she decides to write him a letter.
“Dear God,
In your endless mercy, please send me £90 for the gas bill to help me survive the cold this winter.”
And she addresses the envelope just ‘to God’ and puts it in the mailbox. At the post centre, the sorters don’t know what to do with the letter but don’t want to toss it. With their supervisor, they decide to open the letter. Reading it, they are struck with compassing and go around the centre to collect money. Together they come up with £80, put it in an envelope, address it to the old lady and write ‘from God’ on it.
A couple of days go by and another letter pops up addressed to God. Expecting a word of thanks, the crew joyfully gathers around and open the letter.
“Dear God,
I think those b*st*rds at the post office stole a tenner.”
