This is suppose to
be a True Story ! Believe it or Not?
The pastor had a kitten that climbed
up a tree in his backyard and then
was afraid to come down. The pastor
coaxed, offered warm milk, etc.
The kitty would not come down. The
tree was not sturdy enough to climb,
so the pastor decided that if he
tied a rope to his car and drove
away so that the tree bent down, he
could then reach up and get the
kitten.
That's what he did, all the while
checking his progress in the car. He
then figured if he went just a
little bit further, the tree would
be bent sufficiently for him to
reach the kitten. But as he moved
the car a little further forward ..
the rope broke.
The tree went "BOING!" and the
kitten instantly sailed through the
air ... out of sight.
The pastor felt terrible. He walked
all over the neighborhood asking
people if they'd seen a little
kitten. No. Nobody had seen a stray
kitten. So he prayed, "Lord, I just
commit this kitten to your keeping,"
and went on about his business.
A few days later he was at the
grocery store, and met one of his
church members. He happened to look
into her shopping cart and was
amazed to see cat food. This woman
was a cat hater and everyone knew
it, so he asked her, "Why are you
buying cat food when you hate cats
so much?"
She replied, "You won't believe
this," and then told him how her
little girl had been begging her for
a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a
few days before, the child had
begged again, so the Mom finally
told her little girl, "Well, if God
gives you a cat, I'll let you keep
it."
She told the pastor, "I watched my
child go out in the yard, get on her
knees, and ask God for a cat. And
really, Pastor, you won't believe
this, but I saw it with my own eyes.
A kitten suddenly came flying out of
the blue sky, with its paws
outspread, and landed right in front
of her."
Never underestimate the Power of God
and His unique sense of humor.
