The Pastor and the Cat

A minister of a well known church in Sweden was late one morning for the first service in his church. He was a holy man and full of joy. But this morning he had to break the law since he was late, so he drove well over the speed limit on the narrow gravel road from his house to the church. Half way there he so a cat crossing the road and he panic braked but he could still hear the awful sound of the cat hitting the car. He was able to stop his car and started to walk back towards were he have hit the poor cat.

He was looking everywhere and after 10 minutes he saw the poor cat sitting in a ditch next to the road. He taught poor cat he must be suffering, so he went back to his car and got the tire iron from the trunk. He prayed out loud to God the whole way back asking God to not let the cat suffer. He reaches the place where the cat is sitting looking at him with painful and sweet eyes. He lifts his hand with the tire iron and closes his eyes and swings against the cat, the cat dies instantly without suffering.

He walks slowly back to his car and his spirit is low and his heart is hurting for the whole incident. He drives slowly back to the church; he goes up in the pulpit and delivers his message about healing and forgiveness.

After the service his assistant pastor approach him, Pastor did you hit a cat on the way to the church this morning? He looks surprised and asks, how did you know that? Did you have a vision or did God tell you?

No says the assistant pastor, I was out on the parking and saw that there was a cat stocked in the front radiator of your car.

There must be a very unhappy cat in heaven….
