00:01 Hello! How are you today?
00:08 I'm doing fine, I'm working on a puzzle, do you like puzzles? 00:12 I do too, on this puzzle I saved the pink flowers until last 00:16 because I thought they would be the easiest. 00:19 You know all of the pieces of the puzzle have different shapes 00:22 and so you have to really pay attention to figure out 00:25 where they go. Let's see I think this one goes... 00:27 must go right here, then this one will go... must go 00:32 right here, so I just have one more piece. 00:34 I'm missing a piece, right there. 00:39 Do you see it anywhere? 00:43 I wonder what happened to it, huh! maybe in a minute you can 00:51 help me look some more, and I'll keep looking too ok. 01:46 I don't know where it is! It's right under the table 01:51 I didn't look on that side, and it will fit right there. 01:56 Now my puzzle is done doesn't that look nice. 02:00 You know every piece in this puzzle was important, 02:03 even a piece over there in the middle is important, 02:05 there all different shapes but they are all important. 02:08 That reminds me of you and me, we're each different 02:11 but we are each important, we have different talents 02:15 we look different, we talk different. But we are each 02:18 important, and there is a verse in the Bible that tells us about 02:21 how important we are to God and is says, and it says 02:24 are not two sparrows sold for one little penny, and yet 02:30 not one of them can fall to the ground without God seeing it, 02:37 because you are worth more than many sparrows. 02:41 God really loves us and you're very important to Him. 03:40 That's my bell basket, let's go see what it is, 03:46 Ohhh! Hello! It's Dr. Neblet he wants us to meet him in the 03:52 kitchen right away so come quick let's go! 03:58 Hi Dr. Neblet! - Hello Janice! 03:59 I would like you to meet my friends. 04:01 - Hi! How are you? - And do you know Dr. Neblet has 04:03 some very interesting things to tell us about today and 04:07 to show us, can you do that now? - I most certainly would like to 04:10 but I need a helper, Shanti come on up here. 04:13 I want to show you some special things that God has made 04:17 and Shanti is going to help us by reaching into this bag 04:20 and she is going to feel one of them and describe it to us. 04:23 - So it will be kind of like a game won't it? 04:25 - It certainly would, don't look inside though Shanti, 04:27 just reach inside and tell us what you are feeling. 04:30 - I wonder what she is feeling? - It feels round. 04:36 - What do you think it is? - An orange. 04:41 - Pull it out, let's take a look, she's right! 04:44 That's right, oranges are one of the special fruits that God 04:47 made for us, it really helps to make us nice and strong. 04:51 It has something inside of it that we call vitamins. 04:54 - Vitamins! - Vitamins are some of those 04:56 special things that are in foods that helps us to grow 04:58 to be nice and strong. Vitamin C is what we have inside of 05:03 oranges, they help our skin to be nice and strong. 05:06 - Vitamin C helps our skin. - It certainly does. 05:09 - Well that's interesting! - Let's try another one! 05:11 Shanti! I wonder what she is seeing 05:16 and feeling. - It feels long. 05:20 - What do you think it is? - A carrot! 05:24 - Let's take a look. - Oh! She was right! 05:28 - It's a carrot, this is one of the yellow, or some say an 05:31 orange vegetable. - Looks orange to me. 05:33 - Yes it does, carrots are another great food that God 05:37 and vegetable that God made, in here we have something called 05:40 vitamin A, it helps us with our eyes, it helps us to see 05:43 real well at night for example. 05:45 - So if you want to see well eat carrots. 05:47 - That's right! Carrots are really good for us. 05:51 Let's try another one.- - I like carrots! 05:52 - It feels long. - Is it straight or curvy? 06:04 - Curvy! - What do you think it is? 06:09 - A banana! - Let's take a look at it 06:12 - It's a banana. - She was right! 06:15 - It's one of those yummy fruits that we really like, 06:18 this one right here, this banana has another mineral 06:22 we call this one potassium. - Potassium! 06:25 - Potassium! - Let's say that together! 06:27 - Potassium! - This one is really important 06:31 to help our muscles grow properly, really important 06:35 potassium, also it tastes real good. 06:38 Oh! I like bananas. - Let's try one more. 06:41 I think this one is, well I won't say. 06:45 What does it feel like? - It feels round. 06:53 - Round! - What do you think it is? 06:55 - A potato! - Let's take a look. 07:00 - Oh! She's right again! - She's right! 07:02 - This potato is one of God's starchy foods, has lots of 07:06 protein in it, and protein helps our muscles to be 07:09 nice and strong. - Ohhh! 07:10 - Real important, you know something Janice, bring those 07:14 fruits right back over here. - Let's look at them together. 07:16 - You'll notice something about these, they are all different 07:18 colors. - They are! 07:20 And different shapes too. - They certainly are, you know 07:23 kids, there's a real good way to know if you are getting a 07:25 good variety of fruits and vegetables. 07:27 - How's that? - Pick them with different 07:30 colors, pick your fruit with different colors, 07:32 bananas are real good but you wouldn't want to eat only 07:35 bananas, you'd want to eat some strawberries, they are red, 07:39 you would want to eat some tomatoes, you would want to eat 07:42 some green things like celery and like lettuce, a rich variety 07:47 of fruits and vegetables to really help us to grow 07:49 real big and strong, and that's the way God wants us to be. 07:53 - So to eat lot's of different colors and shapes, 07:56 that's what you are telling us. - That's exactly right. 07:58 - That's an easy way to remember isn't it Shanti? 08:01 - Yeah! - I think so! 08:03 Well, to you have anything else to show us? 08:06 - I think that's about how much time we got, so I would love 08:09 to come back again and show you some more though. 08:11 - Well I'd really like that and you know we need to go now 08:14 because I'd like you to meet me outside I have something 08:16 real interesting to show you and thank you Dr. Neblin. 08:20 - Thank you! - And come again ok! 08:22 - I certainly will. 08:23 - You come with me. 08:30 There you are I was wondering 08:32 when you would find me, what do you think of this tree? 08:35 Do you like it? I sure do, I'm having a nice 08:38 time sitting on the branches. 08:39 Do you climbing like trees? I do too, and tree forts are 08:43 fun too aren't they, and another thing that's nice about 08:46 big trees like this is on a hot day you can sit under it 08:50 and feel cool in the shade, and that sure is nice. 08:53 Do you know what this big tree came from? 08:55 Are you ready to see? Have you guessed? 08:59 It came from this little tiny acorn, isn't that hard to 09:03 believe, but that's how God made it. 09:06 But you know even though this tree is so big and it looks like 09:11 it stands all by itself, it needs helpers, and if you meet 09:15 me in my jungle forest, I'll introduce you to some of them, 09:18 see you there. 09:23 Are you ready to meet one of God's tree planters? 09:26 He's right here, 09:28 he's not very big is he, just a little tiny squirrel. 09:32 In the fall the squirrel knows that if he doesn't start 09:36 gathering food and storing it away, he'll go hungry in 09:39 the winter time, and so he scurries around all over the 09:42 place and he finds nuts or seeds or berries and then he 09:47 carries them and he finds nice little places to bury them 09:50 and gets them covered over with dirt and stuff, and he scurries 09:54 around and he gathers more, and sometimes he just puts them 09:57 in little holes in the log. He just finds lots of places 10:01 to bury his nuts and seeds. 10:02 And then that way when winter time comes he has food to eat, 10:06 isn't that neat how God teaches the squirrel how to take care 10:09 of himself? That's what He does 10:11 but do you know what the problem is, sometimes 10:13 Mr. Squirrel forgets where he buries his nuts and seeds 10:17 and other times he's eaten so many that his tummy get so full 10:20 that he can't even eat all the ones that he buried and 10:23 saved, and guess what happens, then those ones very often 10:28 end up sprouting and growing. 10:30 The sunshine and the rain help them grow and they become trees 10:35 but do you know that the tree just doesn't take from the 10:38 things around it like the sunshine and the rain, 10:41 the tree also shares, I bet you are wondering how a tree 10:44 shares, aren't you? 10:45 How about if I show you some ways that a tree can share. 10:48 The tree shares so that birds can live inside of it, 10:52 you've seen lots of birds building their nests 10:54 in the trees, and don't you just love listening to the birds 10:58 sitting in the trees happily singing their songs? 11:00 I do, and there is even bigger kinds of birds that live in 11:04 trees, like owls, and in the evening you can hear the owl 11:08 going Who! Who! That sounds neat doesn't it. 11:13 What bout another kind of animal that very often lives 11:17 around the tree, can you think of what it might be 11:20 I've seen bears climbing trees before and lots of times 11:25 bears like to curl up and make their home in a hollow log 11:28 underneath a tree. Isn't it neat how God makes 11:32 all of the animals and the birds and the trees and 11:35 everything all work together so that they all make nature 11:39 work out well. 11:41 You know I think that's neat all the things in nature are 11:45 important and God made it that way, He needs all the 11:49 parts to work together, and just think, in many ways it all 11:55 started with Mr. Squirrel burying his little seed 11:59 in the fall and then that started to grow into a tree. 12:33 We'll be right back ok! 12:35 Hey kids! If you love all the fun things that you get to do 12:41 with Janice and her friends you'll flip over this. 12:43 It's Janice's' Activity Book loaded with fun this book: 12:52 and more, and the best part is it's 12:55 Let's take a look inside, the scripture on this page says: 13:03 Now let's circle the pictures that are the same. 13:06 That's right you've got the idea, there are many more 13:10 fun filled activities in this book just waiting for you, 13:14 by the way did I mention it's 13:17 To get your very own copy have your mom or dad write to 13:21 Janice's Attic Activity Book 13:29 Or call: 13:34 Don't wait, order yours today! 13:50 Excuse me! Hi my name is Janice and my television friends and I 13:56 have just been talking about people, and how people are 14:00 important and how everybody is important. 14:01 - That's right! - You think so? 14:03 - Right! - What about your group, 14:06 who's instrument is most important, who plays the best 14:10 part in your group? - Everybody's important 14:13 there's not just one person. - Really! 14:16 So would it matter if someone was missing, would you sound 14:20 as nice? - We could show you, 14:21 when we have the bass trombone play the bass part, 14:25 " BASS trombone!" - Bass, real low, so bass means 14:28 real low right? - Right! 14:30 - Ok! A bass trombone, let's hear your part. 14:44 It sounded real nice but, did you know what song 14:48 he was playing? I didn't, and I don't think my 14:52 friends do either. - That's a very famous song 14:55 we can play another part maybe and give you another clue. 14:57 - Ok! 15:12 - It's real nice too and it's higher, I could tell it was 15:16 higher but I still can't tell what song these guys were 15:19 playing. - Let me play the tenor parts 15:20 see if that helps. - Ok 15:34 I still don't know what song you are playing. 15:38 - What if we played all together, how would that be? 15:41 - Ok! - Without that first part 15:43 then we'll add the other part see if that will make a 15:46 difference. - Ok! It will be neat to hear 15:48 you all together! Ok, you listen too. 16:04 - You play real nice together but! 16:07 - Thank you! - You're welcome, but, 16:10 I still don't know what song you are playing, 16:12 do you know what song they are playing? 16:13 - Well we could put the first part or the soprano part 16:18 in and that's played by the trumpet and maybe that will 16:24 complete the whole idea of what we are trying to do. 16:26 - Ok! We'll listen. - Let's try that! 16:42 You're playing Jesus Loves Me right? 16:45 - Right! - I know that song! 16:47 My you sound really nice together, 16:50 I think you all are important, are there any important things 16:56 when you play together that help keep you together, 16:59 so you sound nice? 17:00 - Well we listen to each other, that's probably the most 17:03 important thing. - What would it sound like 17:05 if you didn't listen to each other? 17:07 - Well we could show you, why don't you play faster and slower 17:10 and we'll just try. - We'll listen! 17:23 - Oh I didn't like that at all, it sounded much better 17:26 when you stayed together, don't you think so? 17:30 So listening is important, and you are all important 17:34 to make the good sound, well I really appreciated you guys 17:38 letting me watch you practice tonight, and my friends and I 17:41 have more things to do now so we're going to say goodbye 17:44 and you can keep on with your practicing. 17:46 - Let's go all the way. - And keep working together 17:48 that's great. 17:55 Did you like seeing those men playing their instruments? 17:58 I sure did, they were each important weren't they. 18:01 Let's look at some other ways that people are different 18:04 but they all are important, are you ready? 18:06 Let's look, you know some people play the piano, that's a good 18:12 talent isn't it, and other people play a trumpet 18:14 they are both important, some people have dark hair, 18:17 that looks pretty, but light hair looks pretty too. 18:20 Now sewing is a nice thing to do but it would be pretty boring 18:24 if people only knew how to sew. We need carpenters to build 18:27 houses too don't we, and gardening is a very important 18:31 thing to do, but if everybody gardened then who would do the 18:35 secretary work in the offices? 18:36 And we need doctors, that's for sure. But we also need people 18:41 to keep our houses clean, so we're all important. 19:20 Oops! That's better. 19:25 Did you know that one of the best ways to become a 19:29 good friend of Jesus is by spending personal time with Him 19:32 every day, well adults do that by praying and by reading their 19:36 Bibles but if you can't read it's kind of hard isn't it? 19:40 Or maybe you just like listening to tapes, well here is a fun way 19:44 to have your very own devotions every morning when you get up 19:47 Janice has made these Morning Time Devotions for her kids 19:51 and for you complete with: 19:54 for more information have your parents write to: 20:31 We got such a busy day I'm almost tired, but we've learned 20:34 so many good things, I just love evening time when I can come 20:38 up to the story corner and read stories, would you like to 20:42 hear a story, I'm ready for one. 20:44 The bell had just rung when Bernice timidly entered the 20:50 classroom. Oh my my whispered Myrtle to her friend 20:54 look at the new girl, she is so plain looking, 20:59 Elizabeth nodded her head and two or three others exchanged 21:03 knowing glances. Meanwhile Bernice sat very still, 21:07 her great black eyes fixed on the teachers face, her family 21:11 just moved to this town and she felt so shy and alone. 21:16 When class was dismissed the pupils filed out of the 21:19 classroom with only a rude stare or unfriendly glance 21:24 at Bernice, it's because I'm so homely she thought. 21:28 Bernice worked diligently at her studies and tried to be 21:32 kind to the other children, but it seemed that somehow 21:35 they all ignored her. Ever since she could remember she had 21:39 been called homely, ugly, plain, and other unkind things. 21:45 Whenever she talked to her mother about it, her mom would 21:48 remind her that God looked at her heart and not at her face 21:52 and that beauty is only skin deep, and that true beauty is 21:56 shown by being loving and kind to others, so Bernice tried to 22:01 watch for chances to be kind to other kids, and amazingly 22:05 enough every day there seemed to be something that she could 22:08 do to help someone. 22:10 Sometimes it was something little like picking up a dropped 22:13 eraser and returning it to the owner, other times it was 22:17 something bigger like sharing her lunch with someone who 22:20 forgot theirs. But still she was lonely, no one seemed 22:24 to even notice her thoughtfulness much less 22:27 say thank you, and she was seldom invited to join 22:30 in the games with the other children. 22:32 One day Elizabeth Weston was planning a party, 22:36 are you inviting Bernice asked Myrtle, well actually 22:41 said Elizabeth I have been thinking about it. 22:44 Ms. Somers said that she has the best lessons of anyone 22:47 in our class, and then remember how she was so nice to 22:51 Jim Flanders that day that he sprained his arm. 22:54 I think I might just invite Bernice to my party. 22:58 Bernice was pleasantly surprised to be invited to Elizabeth's 23:02 party but when she told her mother about it, she said 23:05 doubtfully I don't think I want to go mom, but Bernice 23:10 why not said her mother. It won't do you any good to 23:13 stay away and if you go it will help you to make friends with 23:17 the other kids and so it happened that Bernice 23:20 joined in the fun of Elizabeth's party enjoying herself 23:23 immensely. 23:25 When everyone was quietly listening to a girl singing 23:27 a beautiful solo. Bernice was startled to hear Elizabeth's 23:31 beautiful cousin Helen sigh and say, I wish I could sing, 23:37 oh I always wanted to sing. Bernice turned to her and said 23:42 well can't you sing? Helen smiled and said nope I can't 23:48 sing at all, once when I tried singing with my niece, 23:51 she said Aunt Helen I can't sing when you are making 23:54 such a noise and I haven't tried much since. 23:57 Well said Bernice with a chuckle, I'm sure you're good 24:01 at something, everyone doesn't have to sing. We need variety. 24:05 Well I guess you are right replied Helen, 24:07 I like wood carving. I just love using hammers and nails 24:12 and saws. My mom says I ought to be a carpenter. 24:14 You sure don't look like one said Bernice, but that's a great 24:18 talent. Both girls had a good laugh and then they went on 24:21 talking of other things. 24:23 Later that evening after all the guests had gone home, 24:27 Elizabeth sat up talking with her cousin Helen. 24:30 Well, how did you like Bernice she asked? 24:33 Like her replied Helen, I've never liked anyone better. 24:38 She is so interesting to talk to, 24:41 she seems so kind too. I thought you said that 24:44 the kids at your school find her to be boring, um! well! err! 24:49 stammered Elizabeth, I guess we don't really know her that 24:52 well. Long after Helen had gone to sleep Elizabeth lay thinking, 24:58 one by one she began to remember the many times 25:03 that she had seen Bernice quietly do a kind deed for 25:07 someone, soon she had used up all ten of her fingers, 25:12 and the list went on and on. She was amazed at all the 25:16 little things she had seen Bernice do. Strange enough 25:19 she had never thought about them before. 25:21 She had just taken for granted that Bernice was always kind to 25:25 people. Then she began to imagine how lonely Bernice 25:30 must be and how awful it must feel, to always do kind things 25:35 for people, and never get thanked. 25:37 Finally she fell asleep, but not before she resolved 25:43 never again to let the way someone looks on the outside 25:48 stop her from getting to know them on the inside, and let me 25:53 whisper just a little secret to you boys and girls. 25:56 You'll find that you are happiest if you always try to 26:01 look for the good things in other people. 26:03 Remember everybody looks different, dresses different 26:07 and everybody has different talents and skills, 26:10 but everybody's important, and you will be happiest and 26:16 you will make everyone around you happiest if you will 26:19 practice looking for the good in other people. 26:22 So don't forget, God made you special! 26:27 I really do need to go now, but I want to see you again ok. 26:32 Bye! Bye! |
