Kitten Story
Our pastor tells a story (that he swears is true) about a kitten that climbed up a tree in his backyard, but couldn't be coaxed down. The tree was too thin to climb, so the pastor tied a rope from the tree to his car and drove a few feet so that the tree bent down. He then planned to reach up and get the kitten. Unfortunately for the kitten, the tree went "boing!" and the kitten instantly sailed through the air - out of sight.
A few days later, a woman from his church told him that her little girl had been begging for a cat. Although the mom didn't want one, she finally told her little girl, "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."
Moral: God has a sense of humor.
