The Pastors Cat

I recieved this in my e-mail today and thought it might be enjoyed by my friends here.  Of course one can not know if it’s really true or not but hey, why not? 

 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. 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 God and His unique sense of humor!

Another beautiful day!

It is so amazing to think it’s just March and we are having such lovely weather!  The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the clouds are especially fluffy….what more could you ask for? 

I took the little ones out to play for about an hour.  Man, I will be so glad when they learn how to swing themselves!  I am not fond of my pushing abilities being demanded of me.  But that’s part of the job isn’t it? 

Paul and I are going to see 300 tonight.  He’s been waiting for this movie for the longest time and is determined to see it on opening night.  I don’t mind though.  It looks like it’s going to be a good one.  I’ll make sure to post my critique ASAP.
