The Amazing Flying Kitten {Insp}

"The Amazing Flying Kitten"*

*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 G~d 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 G~d 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."
