God Lives In The Post Office

I received this from a retired Naval Officer friend of mine now living in Texas.It is beautiful and worthy of being passed on.

 God Lives 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 file"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 
this 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

A Birth Certificate     shows we were born

A Death Certificate shows we died

Pictures show we lived!

Have a seat.....Relax.. ..And read this slowly.

I Believe...
Just because two people argue,
Doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
Doesn't mean they do love each other.


I Believe...

We don't have to change friends if
We understand friends change.


I Believe....
No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt
You every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


I Believe...
True friendship continues to grow, even over
The longest distance. Same goes for true love.

 

 I Believe....
You can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.


I Believe...
it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.


I Believe...
You should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.


I Believe...
You can keep going long after you think you can't.


I Believe...
We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


I Believe...
Either you control your attitude or it controls you.


I Believe...
Heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done, regardless of consequences.


I Believe...
Money is a lousy way of keeping score.


I Believe...
My best friend and I can do anything or nothing

And have the best time.

I Believe...
Sometimes the people you expect to kick you
When you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.


I Believe...
Sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.


I Believe...
Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them, and less to do
With how many birthdays you've celebrated.


I Believe...
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others;

Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself..

I Believe....
No matter how bad your heart is broken,

The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But we are responsible for who we become.


I Believe...
You shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life forever.


I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different..


I Believe...
Your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.


I Believe...
Even when you think you have no more to give, when
A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.


I Believe...
Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.


I Believe...
The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.

They just make the most of anything..
