This was forwarded to me a while ago, and it was so funny, that I just had to share it with everybody.

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. 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 drove away so that the tree bent
down, he could then reach up and get the kitten. He did! All the
while, checking his progress in the car frequently, 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 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. 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 fewdays 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.
