THE PASTOR’S CAT…
Mr. 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.’
Lesson learned: Never underestimate the Power of GOD and HIS unique
sense of humor.
