>>>THE PASTOR'S CAT
>>>
>>>This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think about it,
>>>the vision of that poor cat just amuses me no end.  Hope the story leaves
>>>a bright spot in your day.  Whoever said the Creator doesn't have a sense
>>>of humor?
>>>
>>>Dwight Nelson recently 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.  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 pulled it until
>>>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.
