The Holy Roller Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 (edited) Dwight Nelson recently told a 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 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 farther forward, the rope broke. The tree went "boiing" 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 commit this kitten to your keeping", and went about his business. A few days later he was at the grocery store and met one of his church members. He happened to look down 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 dislike cats so much?" She replied, "You won't believe this", and then told him how her little daughter had been begging her for a cat but she kept refusing. Then a few days later the child had begged again, the mom said, "Well, if God gives you cat, I'll let you keep it." The mother told the pastor that she watched the little girl go out in the backyard, 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 two eyes. A kitten suddenly came flying out of thwe blue sky, with its paws outspread, and landed right in front of her!" Never underestimate the power of prayer. Especially a child's prayer. Edited February 16, 2011 by The Holy Roller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
