The Pastors Cat... True but so funny! - NCCG.ORG Ning Network Archive 2008-10

I found this on the other website and I had to share it because I was in stitches after reading it!

~~~It's an old story but still makes me laugh when I read it~~~

Dwight Nelson tells a true story about the pastor of his church.
He had a kitten that had climbed up a tree in his backyard and then was
afraid to come down. The pastor coaxed, offered warm milk, etc., but the
kitty just 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.

So that's what he did, all the while checking his progress in the car.
He 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 the car a
little further forward, the rope broke.

The tree went "boing!" and the kitten went sailing 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. 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, Pastor." And then told him how her
littel girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then, a
few days before, the child had begged again, so 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."

That's really amazing - YHWH works in so many different ways!

I love the way YHWH is such a brilliant multitasker! The way he brings thing together that appear to have no connection until they converge. Do you know what I mean?

Absolutely. Have you seen the movie Exodus Decoded? (see Main page) It's the ultimate in divine multitasking.

What a lovely story. :)

No I haven't, is it good? I saw it somewhere, maybe it was here. What happens in it? It's when I look back on my life that I can see how YHWH worked his plans in my life. To get me out of bad situations, that sort of thing. When at the time it would have just seemed to be an amazing coincidence.

I looked for it on ebay to buy as a DVD but they are all Region 1 (USA). I so need to get this computer fixed, or better still my old old computer fixed. This one is borrowed and very old and slow.
