Ever since Voice of God Recordings came out with the "Mother Opossum" book, my 9- year-old Faith has wanted to see a "real live" possom. She even mentioned one time that she would like one for a pet. I don't know if they would make a good pet or not. She finally got her chance to see one up close. As we drove in our farm lane last night, our headlights picked out a possom slowly making its way across the yard. Of course, Faith was excited! But she was even more excited when dad called in from the barn and said, "There's another one in the milking barn!" A possom visiting the cows? This we gotta see! So the whole farm family ran out to have a look see. Sure enough, there was the possom trying to hide behind a barn scraper. I took a picture of it and then we finally convinced it to go outside where it belonged. It brought to mind the testimony of the mother possom that Bro. Branham prayed for when it lay at his doorstep that day. Maybe it came by the farm just to remind us of that wonderful testimony. We were glad for its visit "to the farm."

That is sooo neat, I have often read my niece the possum book, they are cute creatures. :)
This is so interesting! It must be the first time a possum was in the barn. Mom
That was such a good idea to set a place for Jesus. I know He was there with you. I really like the name card holder. Did you make them? Your table looked so pretty. Mom
They look so small! What a great opportunity for the possum story to come alive for Faith. It's the little things that can mean so much sometimes.
