HERE KITTY KITTY
A true story about a pastor who 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 rear view mirror of 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 DID NOT LIKE CATS.
She 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 spread out
and landed right in front of her."
The girl kept the cat.
