"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 the 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."
