The Parable Of Letter To God

During the last typhoon,Lencho lost all his rice crop because of a severe flood. The whole village was affected so he lad no one to turn to for help. In sheer desperation,Lencho wrote a letter to God:
"Dear God,
The typhoon devastated my whole crop. We have nothing left. I have seven children. Please, God, send me one thousand pesos to tide us over.
Sincerely yours,
Lencho"

He actually placed letter in an envelope, stuck a stamp on it, and mailed it to "God in Heaven."
The letter reached the post office but it could not be delivered.However, the postmen had the time of their life laughing at the oddity of a man actually writing to God. Some people said God was dead, but here was a farmer writing to God out of sheer faith. The postmen decided to show the odd letter to their postmaster.
"Do you want to laugh today,sir?" the postmen asked their boss.
"Why, yes," answered the postmaster eagerly. And so the letter was handled to the postmaster who read the letter to God. But he did not laugh. Instead he re-read the letter in all seriousness and then faced the postmen.
"We talk of social action," he said.
"We all speak of the brotherhood of all men. Yet here is a man in dire need and you think it is funny? Shouldn't we pool our resources instead and help Lencho?"
The postmen were embarrassed by the truth of the postmaster's remarks. So the group decided to pass the hat around and raised the money among themselves to assist Lencho. But they were few and money was difficult to come by, so all the post office personnel could raise was eight hundred pesos. Nevertheless that was better than doing nothing. They also decided to play the game with Lencho, so they placed the money in an envelope, put a stamp complete with stampmark, and wrote on the upper left hand corner: "From God in Heaven."
A postman personally handcarried the letter with the money to Lencho in the village, who was ecstatic with joy.
"I knew God would answer my plea," he exclaimed. "God did not forget to send the money!" Lencho quickly counted the paper bills and found only eight hundred pesos, instead of the one thousand he had asked for.
So he wrote another letter.
"Dear God,
Thank you for answering my prayer, God. But, please, next time, do not send the money throug the post office, because the people there are thieves. Sincerely yours,
Lencho"

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
-William Shakespeare

Attitude to me is more important than facts.
It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do.
It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill.
It will make or break a company...
a church... a home.
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day...
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
And so it is with you...
We are in charge of our attitudes.
-Charles Swindoll
