The Pastors Cat (Christian)

[Guest guest]

Dwight told a true story about the pastor of his church. He 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. Thekitty 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 slowly away, the tree would bend and he would be able to 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

sufficiently bent 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 and 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 the kitten to your keeping," and went on about his business. A few days later he was a 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 and the Mom finally told her little girl, " If GOD gives you a a cat, I'll let you keep it." She told the pastor that "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 belive 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.
