"Kitten From Heaven"
A Pastor 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 - out of sight. The pastor
felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood
asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. 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 the Lord 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 Lord 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."
