A Pastor found 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. Then a few days before,
the child had begged again, so the 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.

Never underestimate the Power of a Divine sense of humor!

I sent that to my friend who's a pastor, and she said that it was too funny. It may just make it into her sermon this weekend.
