The Pastor's Cat

Postby WalterHaleJnr » Mon Jun 19, 2017 10:40 pm

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 the tree and eased the car
away until
the tree bent down, he could then reach up and
retrieve
the kitten.

He did! All the while, checking his progress in the
car frequently, then figuring if he went just a
little
bit further, the tree would be bent sufficiently for
him to reach the kitten. But as he moved a little
further forward, the rope broke. The tree went
"boinnng!!!" 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.
Now
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 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?" (Can you see where this is
heading?)

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. :lol:

This is adorable!

Love it, thank you, Walter.

I actually, had something similar happen. I wanted a netball of my own when I was quite young and did not know how it was going to happen. I kind of, in my sub-conscious, asked if I may have it, but I did not want to bother anyone so I did not mention that I really wanted one to anyone (except I kept thinking about it). I played sport all the time, as we all did in school.

I looked out my window one evening, there in the gutter was a brand new netball.

I asked the neighbours, no-one owned it, it was mine. :D :D :D

Similar things have happened - doesn't cease to amaze me baby! lol (I love that saying of Elvis').

:D
