I was recently told a true story about a Pastor who 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 kitten would not come down. The tree was not sturdy enough to climb. Therefore, the Pastor decided that if he tied a rope to his car and drove away the tree would bend down enough for him to reach up and get the kitten.



He did all of this while checking his progress in the car frequently. Then he figured that if he went just a little bit further the tree would be bent sufficiently enough for him to reach the kitten. Unfortunately, as he moved a little further forward the rope broke. The tree went "boing!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air and went out of sight.



The Pastor felt terrible. He walked all over the neighborhood asking people if they'd seen a little kitten. Unfortunately, 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. Now this woman was a known cat hater and everyone knew it. He decided to ask her, "why are you buying cat food when you hate cats so much?"



She replied, "You won't believe this Pastor," and told him how her little girl had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days ago the child had begged again. So, the mom finally told her little girl, "well, if God gives you a cat I will let you keep it." I am sure that you can probably see by now where this is going.



She told the Pastor, "I watched my child go out in the yard, get on her knees and ask God for a cat. Truly 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 smack dab in front of her." Realizing what had happened, the Pastor replied, "Imagine that! What an awesome answer to prayer."
