An Opossum Came to Sunday School….and….Then it Bit my Finger….

No, I’m not writing this post to say that I now am in the hospital *nothing quite like that*…But wouldn’t that be a rather interesting post? (Come on now!)

I am writing this to say that I am now a “professional opossum trainer”.                                           
Ok, for all those who read the previous sentence and believe it…don't...its not true. BUT wouldn’t that be interesting?

------Alright, enough of that!

This *previous* Sunday we had a funny little visitor come into our classroom: his name was Pouch :  ) and (as some of you may have already figured out) he is a opossum.

~Bro. Tom and Ben brought him along
 *Pouch was picked up beside a chicken coop when he was a tiny baby and is now being raised by them*

Every morning for breakfast he has a omelet (sounds good) and he has other various “people food” for the rest of the day. His favorite food is egg : )  He has a hairless tail, hairless paws and beady *marble* eyes.

By the way, I learned a neat fact yesterday…if a opossum is overweight the whites around his eyes will show! That isn’t hard to believe if you have ever “looked into” an opossum's eyes. They stick out : ) to be honest with you, they look really strange!! 

Oh and they named Pouch, pouch because of the pouch a mother opossum carries her little ones in.~

The kiddies did a color page, listened to a story cd about the mother opossum that Bro. Branham talks about, and played with the opossum.                                                                                                             I think that they liked picking it up by the tail best! The tail curls around your hand... because opossums use their tail to balance : )

It was a very fun filled class! Here are two pictures:

 I am a helper in this class!

    Have a happy 4^th everyone!
