The Goff Family: SuNbEaMs

I can't believe I have a little boy old enough to be in primary! He cried so since my new calling is PrImArY ChOrIsTeR he sat up by me. Then during singing time he decided that it was okay to sit w/ his class. Then cried again when they went to class. He stopped pretty quick tho and was VeRy excited to show us his "I am a Child of God" crown! All in all it was okay and he's excited to go again tomorrow!

Story of the Week

The Trouble Tree

I hired a plumber to help me restore an old farmhouse, and after he had just finished a rough first day on the job: a flat tire made him lose an hour of work, his electric drill quit and his ancient one ton truck refused to start.
While I drove him home, he sat in stony silence. On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.
When opening the door he underwent an amazing transformation. His face was wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.
Afterward he walked me to the car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier.
“Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” he replied “I know I can’t help having troubles on the job, but one thing’s for sure, those troubles don’t belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again. Funny thing is,” he smiled,” when I come out in the morning to pick ‘em up, there aren’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”
We all need a tree like that!
