God has a sense of Humor

The Pastor’s Cat

This particular story just made me laugh. Every time I think about it, the vision of that poor cat just amuses me. Hope the story leaves a bright spot in your day. 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. 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 drove away so that 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 farther, 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 "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 under estimate the Power of God.

"Give us a sense of humor Lord. Give us the grace to see some humor in life, and pass it on to other folk." ~Author Unknown~

Moving

I need to stop complaining about moving so much too,

But i mean I've moved almost 8 times sence i left home, and only been to 5 different places with in the moves. It seem like just when i grow roots they're riped out from under me. but at least i have a place i can tempararly call home for just a little while.

I really would just like to stay in one place longer then a year, but i know that will never happen with the life Lee leads but i knew that before i married him so i dont blame him.

thankfully i only had to move twice when i was in school. so i got to have all but 3 grades in different places. than again i hated everything about going to school in Sussex, full of mostly rednecks, and people who though they were better then me,

You have no idea how much i hated school all the way through i have at one time 2 super good friends at one time, everyone else was just kinda there, oh sure they were friends but they never really took the time to really get to know me.

yeah i had boyfriends but only 2 total, wasn't the most popular girl in school for sure I'm surprised i even had one. one ended after forever lasting roller coaster but yea we're still really good friends, although i cant say the same about the other one, i don't even know to this day why we broke up. but that doesn't really matter now does it?

I think my worst year was my last, you know i always figured it would be my best, but nope no luck. It was off to a good start though, i had the best summer i'd have ever and then started my last year in the hole of a school, and wouldnt have to see any of the dirt bags ever again, just one more year. I started a new church, new youth group, i just wanted to belong somewhere, and i did for a while until i had to stupid and date a guy, who through everyone in my new found group turned on me, and never turned back even to this day, although the one who caused the problem is talking to me, too weird, but whatever i guess i cant hate her forever b/c of it.

wow i didn't think this would have such an effect on me talking about it, makes be both mad and sad, such a waste of time trying to please people who turned their backs on me, and all for what some guy!? and we as a couple didn't even last more the 2 month! what the heck?! and even after him some other guy liked me but i couldn't get over the past hurt from everything so i turned him down to date him guess what new found shunning and backstabbing. these people were supost to be Christians! all this over a GUY!

thank goodness i never had to go through any of this with Lee or i probably would have told him to stick it, and i wouldn't deal with it anymore.

well thats my little rant for today haha have a good one. :)

Hot Stuff

No don't get me wrong I don't go around thinking I'm all that, in fact I don't do it at all. But today was for some reason someone thought I was (besides Lee) I went over to the membertou to get something to eat, I'm wearing one of my wrap around skirts, (had I known it was windy out I wouldn't have) and a yellow t-shirt, nothing fancy. So I go over as I'm walking there two guys look at for more then a few seconds as they drive by, I get a few looks while I'm in the store, and when I leave to come home, there's a group of old people out front of the apartment looking at me the two old men stare me down (which was kinda creepy), and just when I'm getting to the door someone somewhere whistles at me! what a day I'm telling you and its only 2pm. haha
