THE PASTOR'S CAT

THE PASTOR'S CAT

Thanks to Edgar Carlisle

This particular story just made me laugh.
 Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses
 me to 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.
Anyone can count the seeds in an apple; but only God can count the
apples in a seed.
           
GIVE ME A SENSE OF HUMOR, LORD
GIVE ME THE GRACE TO SEE A JOKE
TO GET SOME HUMOR OUT OF LIFE
AND PASS IT ON TO OTHER FOLKS
            
AMEN !
