A KITTY FROM HEAVEN….

–AN AMAZING CAT STORY:
A man recently told a 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 this, 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 and 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.”
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!
