Calvary painted love's picture for me.

Whoever said the Creator doesn't have a sense of humor? 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., but 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. And 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.Unfortunately, as he moved the car a little further forward,
the ropebroke. The tree went "Boing!" and the kitten instantly sailed
through theair and out of sight!
The pastor felt terrible! He walked all>over the neighborhood asking people if
they'd seen a little kitten. Nobody had spotted the poor littleguy, so the pastor
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 churchmembers.
He happened to look into her shopping cart and was amazed to see cat food. The
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?"
The woman replied, "You won't believe this," and then told him how herlittle girl
had been begging her for a cat, but she kept refusing. Then a few days before, the
child had begged again, so the woman finally toldher, "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 down on her knees, and ask God for a cat. And really,
Pastor, you won't believethis, 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 God's unique sense of humor!
