The Mysterious Ways of The Lord

This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think
about it,
the vision of that poor cat just amuses me to no end. Hope the
story
leaves a bright spot in your day. 

Dwight Nelson
recently told a true story about the pastor of his church.
He 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 pulled it until the tree bent down,
he
could then reach up and get the kitten.

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 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. 

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 then told him how her little girl
had been begging 
her for a cat, but she kept
refusing.
