Hello! How are you today?
00:00:01.98\00:00:08.94
I'm doing fine, I'm working on
a puzzle, do you like puzzles?
00:00:08.97\00:00:12.50
I do too, on this puzzle I saved
the pink flowers until last
00:00:12.53\00:00:16.94
because I thought
they would be the easiest.
00:00:16.97\00:00:19.11
You know all of the pieces of
the puzzle have different shapes
00:00:19.14\00:00:22.41
and so you have to really
pay attention to figure out
00:00:22.44\00:00:25.15
where they go. Let's
see I think this one goes...
00:00:25.18\00:00:27.79
must go right here, then
this one will go... must go
00:00:27.82\00:00:32.67
right here, so I
just have one more piece.
00:00:32.70\00:00:34.46
I'm missing a
piece, right there.
00:00:34.49\00:00:39.87
Do you see it anywhere?
00:00:39.90\00:00:42.80
I wonder what happened to it,
huh! maybe in a minute you can
00:00:43.08\00:00:51.16
help me look some more,
and I'll keep looking too ok.
00:00:51.19\00:00:54.87
I don't know where it is!
It's right under the table
00:01:46.83\00:01:51.65
I didn't look on that side,
and it will fit right there.
00:01:51.68\00:01:56.73
Now my puzzle is done
doesn't that look nice.
00:01:56.76\00:02:00.20
You know every piece in
this puzzle was important,
00:02:00.23\00:02:02.99
even a piece over there
in the middle is important,
00:02:03.02\00:02:05.58
there all different shapes
but they are all important.
00:02:05.61\00:02:08.12
That reminds me of you
and me, we're each different
00:02:08.15\00:02:11.69
but we are each important,
we have different talents
00:02:11.72\00:02:15.01
we look different, we
talk different. But we are each
00:02:15.04\00:02:18.39
important, and there is a verse
in the Bible that tells us about
00:02:18.42\00:02:21.79
how important we are to
God and is says, and it says
00:02:21.82\00:02:24.89
are not two sparrows sold
for one little penny, and yet
00:02:24.92\00:02:30.03
not one of them can fall to the
ground without God seeing it,
00:02:30.06\00:02:37.76
because you are worth
more than many sparrows.
00:02:37.80\00:02:41.57
God really loves us and
you're very important to Him.
00:02:41.61\00:02:46.43
That's my bell basket,
let's go see what it is,
00:03:40.83\00:03:46.56
Ohhh! Hello! It's Dr. Neblet
he wants us to meet him in the
00:03:46.59\00:03:52.82
kitchen right away
so come quick let's go!
00:03:52.85\00:03:57.98
Hi Dr. Neblet! - Hello Janice!
00:03:58.01\00:03:59.65
I would like you
to meet my friends.
00:03:59.68\00:04:01.18
- Hi! How are you? - And
do you know Dr. Neblet has
00:04:01.21\00:04:03.89
some very interesting things
to tell us about today and
00:04:03.92\00:04:07.13
to show us, can you do that now?
- I most certainly would like to
00:04:07.16\00:04:10.70
but I need a helper,
Shanti come on up here.
00:04:10.73\00:04:13.34
I want to show you some
special things that God has made
00:04:13.37\00:04:17.93
and Shanti is going to help
us by reaching into this bag
00:04:17.96\00:04:20.82
and she is going to feel one
of them and describe it to us.
00:04:20.85\00:04:23.61
- So it will be kind
of like a game won't it?
00:04:23.64\00:04:25.55
- It certainly would,
don't look inside though Shanti,
00:04:25.58\00:04:27.86
just reach inside and
tell us what you are feeling.
00:04:27.89\00:04:29.98
- I wonder what she is
feeling? - It feels round.
00:04:30.01\00:04:36.80
- What do you
think it is? - An orange.
00:04:36.83\00:04:41.34
- Pull it out, let's
take a look, she's right!
00:04:41.37\00:04:44.43
That's right, oranges are one
of the special fruits that God
00:04:44.46\00:04:47.58
made for us, it really helps
to make us nice and strong.
00:04:47.61\00:04:51.00
It has something inside
of it that we call vitamins.
00:04:51.03\00:04:54.34
- Vitamins! -
Vitamins are some of those
00:04:54.37\00:04:56.08
special things that are in
foods that helps us to grow
00:04:56.11\00:04:58.45
to be nice and strong. Vitamin
C is what we have inside of
00:04:58.48\00:05:02.99
oranges, they help our
skin to be nice and strong.
00:05:03.02\00:05:06.21
- Vitamin C helps our
skin. - It certainly does.
00:05:06.24\00:05:08.97
- Well that's interesting!
- Let's try another one!
00:05:09.00\00:05:11.43
Shanti! I wonder
what she is seeing
00:05:11.46\00:05:16.12
and feeling. - It feels long.
00:05:16.15\00:05:20.74
- What do you
think it is? - A carrot!
00:05:20.77\00:05:24.89
- Let's take a
look. - Oh! She was right!
00:05:24.92\00:05:28.31
- It's a carrot, this is one
of the yellow, or some say an
00:05:28.34\00:05:31.70
orange vegetable.
- Looks orange to me.
00:05:31.73\00:05:33.94
- Yes it does, carrots are
another great food that God
00:05:33.97\00:05:37.23
and vegetable that God made,
in here we have something called
00:05:37.26\00:05:40.45
vitamin A, it helps us with
our eyes, it helps us to see
00:05:40.48\00:05:43.94
real well at night for example.
00:05:43.97\00:05:45.61
- So if you want to
see well eat carrots.
00:05:45.64\00:05:47.79
- That's right!
Carrots are really good for us.
00:05:47.82\00:05:51.15
Let's try another
one.- - I like carrots!
00:05:51.18\00:05:52.83
- It feels long. -
Is it straight or curvy?
00:05:52.86\00:06:03.62
- Curvy! - What
do you think it is?
00:06:04.14\00:06:09.04
- A banana! -
Let's take a look at it
00:06:09.07\00:06:12.49
- It's a
banana. - She was right!
00:06:12.52\00:06:15.26
- It's one of those yummy
fruits that we really like,
00:06:15.29\00:06:18.92
this one right here, this
banana has another mineral
00:06:18.95\00:06:22.77
we call this one
potassium. - Potassium!
00:06:22.80\00:06:25.68
- Potassium! -
Let's say that together!
00:06:25.71\00:06:27.43
- Potassium! - This
one is really important
00:06:27.46\00:06:31.40
to help our muscles grow
properly, really important
00:06:31.43\00:06:35.20
potassium, also
it tastes real good.
00:06:35.23\00:06:38.21
Oh! I like bananas.
- Let's try one more.
00:06:38.24\00:06:41.90
I think this one
is, well I won't say.
00:06:41.93\00:06:45.46
What does it feel
like? - It feels round.
00:06:45.49\00:06:53.86
- Round! - What
do you think it is?
00:06:53.89\00:06:55.93
- A potato! - Let's take a look.
00:06:55.96\00:06:59.98
- Oh! She's right
again! - She's right!
00:07:00.01\00:07:02.75
- This potato is one of
God's starchy foods, has lots of
00:07:02.78\00:07:06.34
protein in it, and
protein helps our muscles to be
00:07:06.37\00:07:09.01
nice and strong. - Ohhh!
00:07:09.04\00:07:10.63
- Real important, you know
something Janice, bring those
00:07:10.66\00:07:14.16
fruits right back over here.
- Let's look at them together.
00:07:14.19\00:07:16.50
- You'll notice something about
these, they are all different
00:07:16.53\00:07:18.95
colors. - They are!
00:07:18.98\00:07:20.43
And different shapes too. -
They certainly are, you know
00:07:20.46\00:07:23.45
kids, there's a real good
way to know if you are getting a
00:07:23.48\00:07:25.62
good variety of
fruits and vegetables.
00:07:25.65\00:07:27.89
- How's that? -
Pick them with different
00:07:27.92\00:07:30.01
colors, pick your
fruit with different colors,
00:07:30.74\00:07:32.62
bananas are real good but
you wouldn't want to eat only
00:07:32.65\00:07:35.96
bananas, you'd want to eat
some strawberries, they are red,
00:07:35.99\00:07:39.88
you would want to eat some
tomatoes, you would want to eat
00:07:39.91\00:07:42.37
some green things like celery
and like lettuce, a rich variety
00:07:42.40\00:07:47.01
of fruits and vegetables
to really help us to grow
00:07:47.04\00:07:49.87
real big and strong, and that's
the way God wants us to be.
00:07:49.90\00:07:53.30
- So to eat lot's of
different colors and shapes,
00:07:53.33\00:07:56.71
that's what you are telling
us. - That's exactly right.
00:07:56.74\00:07:58.57
- That's an easy way to
remember isn't it Shanti?
00:07:58.60\00:08:01.27
- Yeah! - I think so!
00:08:01.30\00:08:03.93
Well, to you have
anything else to show us?
00:08:03.96\00:08:06.08
- I think that's about how much
time we got, so I would love
00:08:06.11\00:08:09.27
to come back again and
show you some more though.
00:08:09.30\00:08:11.08
- Well I'd really like that
and you know we need to go now
00:08:11.11\00:08:14.06
because I'd like you to
meet me outside I have something
00:08:14.09\00:08:16.72
real interesting to show
you and thank you Dr. Neblin.
00:08:16.75\00:08:20.04
- Thank you! -
And come again ok!
00:08:20.07\00:08:22.16
- I certainly will.
00:08:22.19\00:08:23.22
- You come with me.
00:08:23.26\00:08:24.52
There you are I was wondering
00:08:30.82\00:08:32.59
when you would find me,
what do you think of this tree?
00:08:32.63\00:08:35.28
Do you like it? I
sure do, I'm having a nice
00:08:35.31\00:08:38.03
time sitting on the branches.
00:08:38.06\00:08:39.53
Do you climbing like trees?
I do too, and tree forts are
00:08:39.56\00:08:43.26
fun too aren't they, and
another thing that's nice about
00:08:43.29\00:08:46.04
big trees like this is on a
hot day you can sit under it
00:08:46.07\00:08:50.00
and feel cool in the
shade, and that sure is nice.
00:08:50.03\00:08:53.15
Do you know what
this big tree came from?
00:08:53.18\00:08:55.41
Are you ready to
see? Have you guessed?
00:08:55.44\00:08:59.24
It came from this little
tiny acorn, isn't that hard to
00:08:59.27\00:09:03.95
believe, but
that's how God made it.
00:09:03.98\00:09:06.46
But you know even though this
tree is so big and it looks like
00:09:06.49\00:09:11.90
it stands all by itself, it
needs helpers, and if you meet
00:09:11.93\00:09:15.91
me in my jungle forest, I'll
introduce you to some of them,
00:09:15.94\00:09:18.76
see you there.
00:09:18.79\00:09:19.99
Are you ready to meet
one of God's tree planters?
00:09:23.61\00:09:26.54
He's right here,
00:09:26.58\00:09:28.28
he's not very big is he,
just a little tiny squirrel.
00:09:28.31\00:09:32.61
In the fall the squirrel
knows that if he doesn't start
00:09:32.64\00:09:36.06
gathering food and storing
it away, he'll go hungry in
00:09:36.09\00:09:39.13
the winter time, and so he
scurries around all over the
00:09:39.16\00:09:42.45
place and he finds nuts or
seeds or berries and then he
00:09:42.48\00:09:47.47
carries them and he finds
nice little places to bury them
00:09:47.50\00:09:50.58
and gets them covered over with
dirt and stuff, and he scurries
00:09:50.61\00:09:54.87
around and he gathers more,
and sometimes he just puts them
00:09:54.90\00:09:57.23
in little holes in the log.
He just finds lots of places
00:09:57.26\00:10:01.04
to bury his nuts and seeds.
00:10:01.07\00:10:02.69
And then that way when winter
time comes he has food to eat,
00:10:02.72\00:10:06.55
isn't that neat how God teaches
the squirrel how to take care
00:10:06.58\00:10:09.20
of himself? That's what He does
00:10:09.24\00:10:11.57
but do you know what
the problem is, sometimes
00:10:11.60\00:10:13.82
Mr. Squirrel forgets where
he buries his nuts and seeds
00:10:13.85\00:10:17.04
and other times he's eaten so
many that his tummy get so full
00:10:17.07\00:10:20.81
that he can't even eat all
the ones that he buried and
00:10:20.84\00:10:23.18
saved, and guess what happens,
then those ones very often
00:10:23.21\00:10:28.12
end up sprouting and growing.
00:10:28.15\00:10:30.37
The sunshine and the rain help
them grow and they become trees
00:10:30.40\00:10:35.60
but do you know that the
tree just doesn't take from the
00:10:35.63\00:10:38.90
things around it like
the sunshine and the rain,
00:10:38.93\00:10:41.27
the tree also shares, I bet
you are wondering how a tree
00:10:41.30\00:10:44.47
shares, aren't you?
00:10:44.50\00:10:45.54
How about if I show you
some ways that a tree can share.
00:10:45.57\00:10:48.62
The tree shares so that
birds can live inside of it,
00:10:48.65\00:10:52.26
you've seen lots of
birds building their nests
00:10:52.29\00:10:54.33
in the trees, and don't you
just love listening to the birds
00:10:54.36\00:10:58.22
sitting in the trees
happily singing their songs?
00:10:58.25\00:11:00.74
I do, and there is even bigger
kinds of birds that live in
00:11:00.77\00:11:04.65
trees, like owls, and in
the evening you can hear the owl
00:11:04.68\00:11:08.82
going Who! Who! That
sounds neat doesn't it.
00:11:08.85\00:11:12.99
What bout another kind of
animal that very often lives
00:11:13.02\00:11:17.25
around the tree, can you
think of what it might be
00:11:17.28\00:11:20.74
I've seen bears climbing
trees before and lots of times
00:11:20.77\00:11:25.33
bears like to curl up and
make their home in a hollow log
00:11:25.36\00:11:28.32
underneath a tree.
Isn't it neat how God makes
00:11:28.35\00:11:32.03
all of the animals and
the birds and the trees and
00:11:32.06\00:11:35.19
everything all work together
so that they all make nature
00:11:35.22\00:11:39.55
work out well.
00:11:39.58\00:11:41.04
You know I think that's neat
all the things in nature are
00:11:41.07\00:11:45.93
important and God made it
that way, He needs all the
00:11:45.96\00:11:49.62
parts to work together, and
just think, in many ways it all
00:11:49.65\00:11:55.09
started with Mr.
Squirrel burying his little seed
00:11:55.12\00:11:59.01
in the fall and then that
started to grow into a tree.
00:11:59.04\00:12:02.72
We'll be right back ok!
00:12:33.50\00:12:35.00
Hey kids! If you love all the
fun things that you get to do
00:12:35.03\00:12:41.05
with Janice and her
friends you'll flip over this.
00:12:41.08\00:12:43.67

the best part is it's

Let's take a look inside,

00:12:55.87\00:12:59.85

Excuse me! Hi my name is Janice
and my television friends and I
00:13:50.06\00:13:56.34
have just been talking
about people, and how people are
00:13:56.37\00:13:59.97
important and how
everybody is important.
00:14:00.00\00:14:01.92
- That's right! - You think so?
00:14:01.95\00:14:03.75
- Right! - What
about your group,
00:14:03.78\00:14:06.41
who's instrument is most
important, who plays the best
00:14:06.44\00:14:10.40
part in your group?
- Everybody's important
00:14:10.43\00:14:13.68
there's not just
one person. - Really!
00:14:13.71\00:14:16.31
So would it matter if someone
was missing, would you sound
00:14:16.34\00:14:20.29
as nice? - We could show you,
00:14:20.32\00:14:21.63
when we have the bass
trombone play the bass part,
00:14:21.66\00:14:25.35
" BASS trombone!" -
Bass, real low, so bass means
00:14:25.38\00:14:28.79
real low right? - Right!
00:14:28.82\00:14:30.18
- Ok! A bass
trombone, let's hear your part.
00:14:30.21\00:14:32.75
It sounded real nice
but, did you know what song
00:14:44.70\00:14:48.44
he was playing? I
didn't, and I don't think my
00:14:48.47\00:14:52.56
friends do either. -
That's a very famous song
00:14:52.59\00:14:55.35
we can play another part
maybe and give you another clue.
00:14:55.38\00:14:57.76
- Ok!
00:14:57.79\00:14:58.96
- It's real nice too and
it's higher, I could tell it was
00:15:12.44\00:15:16.35
higher but I still can't
tell what song these guys were
00:15:16.38\00:15:19.09
playing. - Let me
play the tenor parts
00:15:19.12\00:15:20.81
see if that helps. - Ok
00:15:20.84\00:15:23.45
I still don't know
what song you are playing.
00:15:34.93\00:15:38.52
- What if we played all
together, how would that be?
00:15:38.55\00:15:41.30
- Ok! - Without that first part
00:15:41.33\00:15:43.26
then we'll add the other
part see if that will make a
00:15:43.29\00:15:46.59
difference. - Ok!
It will be neat to hear
00:15:46.62\00:15:48.04
you all together!
Ok, you listen too.
00:15:48.07\00:15:50.52
- You play real
nice together but!
00:16:04.35\00:16:07.22
- Thank you! -
You're welcome, but,
00:16:07.25\00:16:10.01
I still don't know
what song you are playing,
00:16:10.04\00:16:12.07
do you know what
song they are playing?
00:16:12.10\00:16:13.87
- Well we could put the
first part or the soprano part
00:16:13.90\00:16:18.47
in and that's played by
the trumpet and maybe that will
00:16:18.50\00:16:24.65
complete the whole idea
of what we are trying to do.
00:16:24.68\00:16:26.85
- Ok! We'll
listen. - Let's try that!
00:16:26.88\00:16:29.12
You're playing
Jesus Loves Me right?
00:16:42.45\00:16:45.18
- Right! - I know that song!
00:16:45.21\00:16:47.41
My you sound
really nice together,
00:16:47.44\00:16:50.54
I think you all are important,
are there any important things
00:16:50.57\00:16:56.34
when you play together
that help keep you together,
00:16:56.37\00:16:59.28
so you sound nice?
00:16:59.31\00:17:00.42
- Well we listen to each
other, that's probably the most
00:17:00.45\00:17:03.38
important thing. -
What would it sound like
00:17:03.41\00:17:05.82
if you didn't
listen to each other?
00:17:05.85\00:17:07.00
- Well we could show you, why
don't you play faster and slower
00:17:07.03\00:17:10.32
and we'll just
try. - We'll listen!
00:17:10.35\00:17:13.86
- Oh I didn't like that at
all, it sounded much better
00:17:23.37\00:17:26.78
when you stayed
together, don't you think so?
00:17:26.82\00:17:30.07
So listening is important,
and you are all important
00:17:30.10\00:17:34.48
to make the good sound, well
I really appreciated you guys
00:17:34.51\00:17:38.40
letting me watch you practice
tonight, and my friends and I
00:17:38.43\00:17:41.90
have more things to do now
so we're going to say goodbye
00:17:41.93\00:17:44.60
and you can keep on
with your practicing.
00:17:44.63\00:17:46.76
- Let's go all the way.
- And keep working together
00:17:46.79\00:17:48.78
that's great.
00:17:48.81\00:17:50.53
Did you like seeing those
men playing their instruments?
00:17:55.46\00:17:58.42
I sure did, they were
each important weren't they.
00:17:58.45\00:18:01.25
Let's look at some other
ways that people are different
00:18:01.28\00:18:04.41
but they all are
important, are you ready?
00:18:04.44\00:18:06.54
Let's look, you know some people
play the piano, that's a good
00:18:06.57\00:18:12.07
talent isn't it, and
other people play a trumpet
00:18:12.10\00:18:14.45
they are both important,
some people have dark hair,
00:18:14.48\00:18:17.77
that looks pretty, but
light hair looks pretty too.
00:18:17.80\00:18:20.87
Now sewing is a nice thing to
do but it would be pretty boring
00:18:20.90\00:18:24.88
if people only knew how to
sew. We need carpenters to build
00:18:24.91\00:18:27.45
houses too don't we, and
gardening is a very important
00:18:27.48\00:18:31.64
thing to do, but if everybody
gardened then who would do the
00:18:31.67\00:18:35.01
secretary work in the offices?
00:18:35.04\00:18:36.91
And we need doctors, that's for
sure. But we also need people
00:18:36.94\00:18:41.62
to keep our houses
clean, so we're all important.
00:18:41.65\00:18:44.90
Oops! That's better.
00:19:20.05\00:19:25.39
Did you know that one of
the best ways to become a
00:19:25.42\00:19:29.47
good friend of Jesus is by
spending personal time with Him
00:19:29.50\00:19:32.39
every day, well adults do that
by praying and by reading their
00:19:32.42\00:19:36.51
Bibles but if you can't
read it's kind of hard isn't it?
00:19:36.54\00:19:40.14
Or maybe you just like listening
to tapes, well here is a fun way
00:19:40.17\00:19:44.48
to have your very own devotions
every morning when you get up
00:19:44.51\00:19:47.57
Janice has made these Morning
Time Devotions for her kids
00:19:47.60\00:19:51.24
and for you complete with:
00:19:51.27\00:19:54.96
for more information
have your parents write to:
00:19:54.99\00:19:55.96
We got such a busy day I'm
almost tired, but we've learned
00:20:31.31\00:20:34.42
so many good things, I just love
evening time when I can come
00:20:34.45\00:20:38.81
up to the story corner and
read stories, would you like to
00:20:38.84\00:20:42.79
hear a story, I'm ready for one.
00:20:42.82\00:20:44.85
The bell had just rung
when Bernice timidly entered the
00:20:44.88\00:20:50.03
classroom. Oh my my
whispered Myrtle to her friend
00:20:50.06\00:20:54.37
look at the new girl,
she is so plain looking,
00:20:54.40\00:20:59.15
Elizabeth nodded her head and
two or three others exchanged
00:20:59.18\00:21:03.00
knowing glances. Meanwhile
Bernice sat very still,
00:21:03.03\00:21:07.47
her great black eyes fixed
on the teachers face, her family
00:21:07.50\00:21:11.86
just moved to this town
and she felt so shy and alone.
00:21:11.89\00:21:16.36
When class was dismissed
the pupils filed out of the
00:21:16.39\00:21:19.85
classroom with only a
rude stare or unfriendly glance
00:21:19.88\00:21:24.09
at Bernice, it's because
I'm so homely she thought.
00:21:24.12\00:21:28.28
Bernice worked diligently
at her studies and tried to be
00:21:28.31\00:21:32.04
kind to the other children,
but it seemed that somehow
00:21:32.07\00:21:35.81
they all ignored her. Ever
since she could remember she had
00:21:35.84\00:21:39.76
been called homely, ugly,
plain, and other unkind things.
00:21:39.79\00:21:45.49
Whenever she talked to her
mother about it, her mom would
00:21:45.52\00:21:48.90
remind her that God looked
at her heart and not at her face
00:21:48.93\00:21:52.35
and that beauty is only skin
deep, and that true beauty is
00:21:52.38\00:21:56.41
shown by being loving and kind
to others, so Bernice tried to
00:21:56.44\00:22:01.09
watch for chances to be kind
to other kids, and amazingly
00:22:01.12\00:22:05.05
enough every day there seemed
to be something that she could
00:22:05.08\00:22:08.91
do to help someone.
00:22:08.94\00:22:09.91
Sometimes it was something
little like picking up a dropped
00:22:09.94\00:22:13.65
eraser and returning it to
the owner, other times it was
00:22:13.68\00:22:17.33
something bigger like sharing
her lunch with someone who
00:22:17.36\00:22:20.23
forgot theirs. But still
she was lonely, no one seemed
00:22:20.26\00:22:24.70
to even notice her
thoughtfulness much less
00:22:24.73\00:22:27.54
say thank you, and she
was seldom invited to join
00:22:27.57\00:22:30.79
in the games with
the other children.
00:22:30.82\00:22:32.69
One day Elizabeth
Weston was planning a party,
00:22:32.72\00:22:36.04
are you inviting Bernice
asked Myrtle, well actually
00:22:36.07\00:22:40.98
said Elizabeth I have
been thinking about it.
00:22:41.01\00:22:44.06
Ms. Somers said that she
has the best lessons of anyone
00:22:44.09\00:22:47.77
in our class, and then
remember how she was so nice to
00:22:47.80\00:22:51.63
Jim Flanders that day
that he sprained his arm.
00:22:51.66\00:22:54.27
I think I might just
invite Bernice to my party.
00:22:54.30\00:22:58.87
Bernice was pleasantly surprised
to be invited to Elizabeth's
00:22:58.90\00:23:02.55
party but when she told
her mother about it, she said
00:23:02.58\00:23:05.67
doubtfully I don't think I
want to go mom, but Bernice
00:23:05.70\00:23:10.71
why not said her mother.
It won't do you any good to
00:23:10.74\00:23:13.73
stay away and if you go it will
help you to make friends with
00:23:13.76\00:23:17.08
the other kids and so
it happened that Bernice
00:23:17.11\00:23:20.02
joined in the fun of Elizabeth's
party enjoying herself
00:23:20.05\00:23:23.22
immensely.
00:23:23.26\00:23:25.20
When everyone was quietly
listening to a girl singing
00:23:25.23\00:23:27.68
a beautiful solo. Bernice
was startled to hear Elizabeth's
00:23:27.71\00:23:31.52
beautiful cousin Helen sigh
and say, I wish I could sing,
00:23:31.55\00:23:37.64
oh I always wanted to sing.
Bernice turned to her and said
00:23:37.67\00:23:42.83
well can't you sing? Helen
smiled and said nope I can't
00:23:42.86\00:23:48.33
sing at all, once when I
tried singing with my niece,
00:23:48.36\00:23:51.57
she said Aunt Helen I
can't sing when you are making
00:23:51.60\00:23:54.71
such a noise and I
haven't tried much since.
00:23:54.74\00:23:57.73
Well said Bernice with a
chuckle, I'm sure you're good
00:23:57.76\00:24:01.26
at something, everyone doesn't
have to sing. We need variety.
00:24:01.29\00:24:05.31
Well I guess you
are right replied Helen,
00:24:05.34\00:24:07.79
I like wood carving. I just
love using hammers and nails
00:24:07.82\00:24:12.14
and saws. My mom says I
ought to be a carpenter.
00:24:12.17\00:24:14.88
You sure don't look like one
said Bernice, but that's a great
00:24:14.91\00:24:18.63
talent. Both girls had a
good laugh and then they went on
00:24:18.66\00:24:21.88
talking of other things.
00:24:21.91\00:24:23.16
Later that evening after
all the guests had gone home,
00:24:23.19\00:24:27.24
Elizabeth sat up
talking with her cousin Helen.
00:24:27.27\00:24:30.13
Well, how did you
like Bernice she asked?
00:24:30.16\00:24:33.08
Like her replied Helen,
I've never liked anyone better.
00:24:33.12\00:24:38.21
She is so
interesting to talk to,
00:24:38.25\00:24:41.00
she seems so kind too.
I thought you said that
00:24:41.04\00:24:44.87
the kids at your school find
her to be boring, um! well! err!
00:24:44.91\00:24:49.43
stammered Elizabeth, I guess
we don't really know her that
00:24:49.46\00:24:52.81
well. Long after Helen had gone
to sleep Elizabeth lay thinking,
00:24:52.84\00:24:58.80
one by one she began
to remember the many times
00:24:58.83\00:25:03.31
that she had seen Bernice
quietly do a kind deed for
00:25:03.34\00:25:07.04
someone, soon she had
used up all ten of her fingers,
00:25:07.07\00:25:12.02
and the list went on and
on. She was amazed at all the
00:25:12.05\00:25:16.25
little things she had
seen Bernice do. Strange enough
00:25:16.28\00:25:19.79
she had never
thought about them before.
00:25:19.82\00:25:21.79
She had just taken for granted
that Bernice was always kind to
00:25:21.82\00:25:25.52
people. Then she began to
imagine how lonely Bernice
00:25:25.55\00:25:30.18
must be and how awful it must
feel, to always do kind things
00:25:30.21\00:25:35.16
for people, and
never get thanked.
00:25:35.19\00:25:37.39
Finally she fell asleep,
but not before she resolved
00:25:37.42\00:25:43.33
never again to let the way
someone looks on the outside
00:25:43.36\00:25:47.98
stop her from getting to know
them on the inside, and let me
00:25:48.01\00:25:53.53
whisper just a little
secret to you boys and girls.
00:25:53.57\00:25:56.58
You'll find that you are
happiest if you always try to
00:25:56.62\00:26:00.84
look for the good
things in other people.
00:26:01.34\00:26:03.15
Remember everybody looks
different, dresses different
00:26:03.18\00:26:07.55
and everybody has
different talents and skills,
00:26:07.58\00:26:10.58
but everybody's important,
and you will be happiest and
00:26:10.61\00:26:16.18
you will make everyone
around you happiest if you will
00:26:16.21\00:26:19.13
practice looking for
the good in other people.
00:26:19.16\00:26:22.39
So don't forget,
God made you special!
00:26:22.42\00:26:27.92
I really do need to go now,
but I want to see you again ok.
00:26:27.95\00:26:32.95
Bye! Bye!
00:26:32.98\00:26:33.95
