Touching story
 

Not sure if this has made it to YT but it was too sweet NOT to post!


There is a God in the Post Office

This is one of the kindest things I've ever experienced. I have no way to know who sent it, but there is a beautiful soul working in the dead letter office of the US postal service.




Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month.The day after she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and talking about how much she missed Abbey. She asked if we could write a letter to God so that when Abbey got to heaven, God would recognize her. I told her that I thought we could so she dictated these words:

Dear God,

Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.

I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and to swim. I am sending a picture of her,
so when you see her, you will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.

Love, Meredith.

We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven. That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the letter yet. I told her that I thought He had.

Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our front porch addressed, 'To Meredith ,' in an unfamiliar hand. Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called, 'When a Pet Dies.' Taped to the inside front cover was the letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and his note:


Dear Meredith,

Abbey arrived safely in heaven.

Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away.

Abbey isn't sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog. Since we don't need our bodies in heaven, I don't have any pockets to keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey by.

Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful mother you have. I picked her especially for you.

I send my blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.

By the way, I'm easy to find, I am wherever there is love.

Love,
God

Someone send me this touching story by an email, very touchy:(

How precious.

I dont know if this is a true story...but I hope there are alot of people out there like the postal worker

Oh I agree....what a wonderful soul that would be to do that:)! What a touching story. Thanks for posting.

thanks for sharing that wonderful story.. anne

"Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right away" ok that's the last part I read, I'm crying too hard. Thanks for posting.

:animal-pa:animal-paI'm crying too...What a beautiful, thoughtful thing to do...I believe God put his hand on that letter that was written...:animal-pa

I think this was beautiful. I love the fact that people are not afraid to respond to such a young girl like that. It gives her hope and comfort when her beloved pet has passed. That was great!!

I HOPE it is a true story.

I was sent this in an e-mail also. It made me cry then, and did again when I read it just now.

How beautiful!

Wow! What a sweet story! Tear-jerker...but very sweet!:D

I know the Post office works with churches as well as individuals at Christmas, and anyone can pick up letters addressed to Santa Claus, I imagine there are angels who pick up letters addressed to God, as well.

I got this in a email too. It's very sweet. I think it is true.
