00:01 Hi! Do you know what I've been doing?
00:05 Can you guess? 00:07 I've been cleaning my attic today and right now I'm finally 00:11 on the cupboard, just about done the rest of it. 00:13 I'm trying to get everything real organized so that I'll be 00:16 able to find everything when I need it. 00:17 It's important you know! 00:19 Like this basket for example! 00:21 I had pens and screwdrivers in the same basket! 00:25 That will never do, will it? 00:26 So I'm going to take all the pens out and... 00:30 The screwdrivers over here, another one. 00:33 They are all over the place! 00:36 Anymore? 00:38 Here's one on the floor! 00:39 There! 00:41 I'll put these down here... 00:43 Maybe you can help me do some more organizing in a minute. 00:45 Welcome to 01:00 It's so good to see you again, come up for a visit my friend. 01:02 There's so much to do, I have so many things planned 01:07 for you... 01:09 We'll laugh and we'll play, we'll sing and we'll pray... 01:15 I'll tell you a story or two. 01:19 And we'll be friends, you and I, 01:24 yes, you and I and Jesus. 01:33 Well, what do you think? 01:35 All these pencils, I think I should put them in one place, 01:38 shouldn't I? 01:39 Maybe I'll put them in this basket... 01:42 What do you think would go with pencil crayons? 01:45 Maybe felt pens? They are kind of the same, 01:48 aren't they? 01:50 I wonder... Do you think I have room to 01:52 set my little paint package right on the top? 01:56 I think so. 01:57 Can you think of anything else? 01:59 I think this is probably a good amount. 02:01 I'll set them right down here on top of the tools. 02:04 Now let's see. I've got scissors and tape 02:07 in this basket... 02:08 Kind of things for making crafts, right? 02:11 Why don't I put the glue with that? 02:15 Maybe this tape should go with it too. What do you think? 02:19 I think that would be a good idea. 02:20 Then we'd have tape and scissors and glue in this one. 02:23 I think that's good. 02:24 Maybe this stapler should go in here too cause it's for holding 02:27 things together like the tape and the glue is. 02:30 That's a good idea. 02:31 I should put the thing that pulls the staplers out, 02:34 shouldn't I? 02:36 Okay! So we can put this basket 02:38 in there... 02:39 That looks so much better, doesn't it? 02:41 Now I think, with all these little tags and paper clips 02:47 I think I should put them with the other tags and paper clips. 02:50 Don't you think so? 02:52 Okay! 02:53 Let's get them all in there! 02:55 It's nice to have everything together, the things that 02:58 are the same together, because then you can always find things 03:01 easier and it just looks so much nicer and everything. 03:06 I think I'll put the last bends into one of these containers. 03:11 It would be a good idea. 03:13 And this pencil holder, maybe I can put my cards 03:16 in that too. 03:18 I can put that right on this shelf. 03:21 That's a very good idea. 03:23 My things for making crafts, my rope and my big ball. 03:30 Maybe they can go here too. 03:32 Do you thing things are starting to look better? 03:34 I do. 03:35 Right with that. 03:37 Get my last bends in there. They are important to have. 03:40 Things are coming together. Okay! 03:44 There's a Bible verse that talks about making everything neat 03:48 and orderly and that's found in the first Corinthians, 03:52 chapter 14, verse 40. 03:55 And would you like me to read it to you? 03:57 I will. 03:59 It says: 04:00 'Everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way' 04:04 That's important, isn't it? 04:06 I think I should write that down. 04:09 And maybe if I write it down, I could hang it in my cupboard, 04:13 and then every time I open my cupboard, I would be reminded. 04:17 I think that it's a good idea. 04:18 I need a pencil... 04:19 I know where they are cause I organized my cupboard! 04:23 I'll use a marker, maybe blue! That's a good color, isn't it? 04:27 Okay! 04:29 Let's see: Everything should be done in 04:48 an orderly way. 04:56 And I'll put the Bible verse: I Corinthians, 14. 40. 05:01 And I put my pen back, where it belongs with the 05:05 other pens. 05:08 I'm going to put it up here. 05:10 I'll need tape, won't I? 05:12 Good thing I knew where it was! 05:14 Right where it belonged. 05:15 With the other tape and glue and scissors. There! 05:20 I'll put it right up here... 05:29 Everything has a place in my house. 05:33 It sits on its shelf, just so. 05:37 It helps to keep my house in order, to know where 05:42 everything goes. 05:45 I know where everything goes, I know where everything goes. 05:52 It helps to keep my attic in order, to know where 05:57 everything goes. 06:04 Speaking of being neat and orderly, did you know that 06:07 bees keep their beehive neat and orderly? 06:10 They do! 06:11 And I made one so that you could look at it. 06:13 And I'll show you how you can make your own beehive. 06:16 You need a ball from a craft store, or from a 06:19 hardware store and then get an adult to cut the end 06:23 of the ball off so that it's flat on the bottom. 06:26 You need glue and you need rope. 06:29 Always make sure that when you buy the rope, buy a 06:32 kind of rope that is a natural fiber. Don't buy something like 06:37 a nylon rope. You have to buy a rope that's natural. 06:40 You can buy that just at a regular hardware store. 06:43 You start, get your rope, put your glue around the bottom 06:49 first and then lay rope right on top of the first layer of glue. 06:54 Then it could be easier for you. 06:56 Put as pin in to hold the rope in place. 06:59 Then just start turning the ball like this. 07:03 Just keep pressing the rope on and then you get around that 07:08 part, start putting more glue on. 07:11 All the way round... 07:18 So that it'll stick the rest of the way round. 07:26 And then just hold your ball in a place and just keep turning 07:31 up and keep pressing your rope on as you turn it. 07:41 Just keep turning it all the way round... 07:45 As you go up, you may need to add more glue. 07:50 Remember to keep pressing on it as you go. 08:01 I know... bees are very neat and orderly... 08:06 Did you know, that one of the bee's job is to be a house 08:08 cleaner, to keep the hive neat and tidy? 08:12 One bee does this job. 08:17 I think it's time to put more. 08:19 More glue on... 08:28 Just keep going up and down with your glue. 08:39 Then just keep turning. 08:40 Always remember. When you make a craft, put some paper on the 08:44 table so that you won't make your table dirty. 08:49 Cause it can wreck furniture it you get glue and stuff on it. 08:53 When you get to this point, you need to start putting glue 08:57 on the top layer. 08:59 So that it would stick to each other. 09:07 Remember! Don't pull it too tight because if you pull it 09:11 too tight, then the rope will kind of roll up and it won't 09:16 sit so nicely like the beehive you want to sit nice. 09:19 You want to look just like a real beehive. 09:24 See the little bees that are put on my beehive? 09:26 I drew those ahead but you can get little fuzzy bees from 09:32 a craft store or from a department store. 09:36 Sometimes they have wires on them and then you can put them 09:39 on the hive. 09:43 And so you just keep coming to the top like this. 09:45 If you have trembled on the way, getting you rope to stand 09:49 place, you can take anytime a pin and put it anywhere you 09:52 need to get it stand place. 09:55 At the end just put in some more glue... 09:58 You have plenty of glue there on the top. 10:02 Get your scissors, carefully cut the rope off. 10:08 Sometimes it's hard to cut. You might need someone to 10:11 help you a little bit. 10:12 And then just to end it, take a pin to hold it in place. 10:16 Don't pull it because otherwise the glue won't dry. 10:21 Then you can take a black pen and you can draw 10:26 a little hole, this little door on the front of the bee's house. 10:30 And then put your little bees on and then your beehive is done. 10:34 In just a minute we're going to see a real bee keeper and his 10:39 real bees. 10:40 I'm going to be wearing something funny so I won't 10:42 get stung. 10:44 Hey kids! 10:45 If you love all the fun things you get to do with Janice and 10:48 her friends, you'll flip over this! 10:51 It's Janice's activity book! 10:53 Loaded with fun, this book teaches Scriptures, mazes, 10:56 puzzles, dot to dot games, coloring, and more. 10:59 The best part is: it's free! 11:02 Let's take a look inside! 11:04 The Scripture on this page says: 'Jesus Christ is the same, 11:08 yesterday, today and forever. ' 11:11 Now, let's circle the pictures that are the same. 11:14 That's right! You got the idea! 11:16 There are many more fun-filled activities in this book! 11:19 Just waiting for you! 11:21 By the way, did I mention it's free? 11:24 To get your very own copy, have your mom or dad write 11:29 to Janice's Attic Activity Book c/o 3ABN, P.O.

Looking forward to it! 11:57 - I'd like you to meet my friends! 11:59 Friends, I'd like you to meet Mr. Carry and his sons. 12:04 Would you like to introduce your boys, Mr. Carry? 12:06 - Yes, this is Nathaniel. He is almost 7 years old. 12:09 He is gonna be helping me smoke the bees today. 12:12 And this is Mattie, my youngest. He is almost 5 years old. 12:17 - There's someone the same age as you are! 12:20 Mr. Carry, you had me dress up like this and I'm wondering if 12:24 you can tell us a little bit about what I'm wearing. 12:26 Look how I look! 12:27 I look kind of funny, don't I? 12:29 Well, this here is the hat that we use and then a bee veil. 12:36 We put over top the face. And then this is some bee gloves 12:42 that we use to put over our hands. 12:46 - Aha! 12:47 - We have a little veil because it's very hot during the summer 12:50 time and that kind of keeps us cooler. 12:53 And then we have a pair of covers on. 12:56 And then we put either boots or tennis shoes or something 12:58 like that. 12:59 - So all the time wearing this hat and veil will keep me safe 13:02 from the bee stings. 13:04 - That's correct! 13:05 - So I'm safe out here with all these bees. 13:08 What do you think kids, do you think you'd like to see 13:11 some bees right up close, maybe a queen bee or something? 13:14 I think I would. 13:15 Would you be able to show that to us? 13:16 - Sure I would! 13:18 Okay Nathan, let's open up this beehive and see it we can 13:21 find some honeybees inside. 13:23 Look at the frames where the bees live! 13:28 - Listen to them. Just humming. 13:36 - Okay! I'm gonna pull a frame out full of honey... 13:44 - Look at that! 13:45 - That looks good! 13:46 All those little cells are made right from the bee's. The bees 13:51 make them themselves! 13:52 - Right here is the honey... 13:54 Right here is the fresh honey. 13:57 - That looks delicious. Don't you like that? 14:01 I bet you'd like to have some on your toast for breakfast. 14:04 - What is interesting is that worker bees when hatch from 14:07 the cell, they have 6 different stages that they do. 14:12 They start with making house cleaning, feeding the babies, 14:18 defending the hive, and then the last duty is going out and 14:24 gathering nectar and pollen. 14:26 The nectar is which they are making the honey. 14:28 Bees are very orderly and clean and neat, they are just amazing 14:31 housekeepers. 14:32 - God has put all that instinct in them! 14:35 I think I could learn a lot of lesson from the bees. 14:38 What about you? Do you think you could? 14:40 - Look Janice! There is the queen bee! 14:42 - She is the one that is longer than all the other ones? 14:45 - Aha! She is at least 50% longer. 14:47 - Can you see it? 14:49 - Did you know that she can lay up to 2000 eggs a day? 14:54 - A day? - A day! 14:55 That's twice her weight. Every day! 14:58 -2000! She is a busy bees, isn't she? 15:01 - She put her head down inside. 15:04 - To check the cell first? 15:05 Like to see it it's empty. 15:07 - That's empty. She will lay an egg. 15:09 She just put her body down inside the cell. 15:12 She just laid an egg. Now she is coming back out. 15:14 - Isn't that interesting? Just think what God is putting 15:18 in her mind, so that she'll know how to do the right things. 15:23 Have you enjoyed this? 15:25 I know I sure have! I learned a lot about how bees 15:28 are orderly and neat, and how they work hard and they keep 15:31 their hives so clean... 15:33 I think we should tell Mr. Carry thank you! 15:36 - You sure welcome Janice! I really enjoyed it! 15:38 - Well, we have too! 15:42 - Do you know some things about how God created the world? 15:45 Everything lives at the right place and God has just the right 15:49 things at just the right time. 15:50 Think about the fuzzy little caterpillars that you sometimes 15:54 let fall off your arm. 15:55 They have those little legs. 15:57 You know, caterpillars aren't always all that beautiful. 16:01 At just the right time, they turn into the most beautiful, 16:05 beautiful butterflies with a delicately formed wings that 16:08 flip from flower to flower... 16:11 They are kind of fun to catch! 16:13 Have you caught a butterfly? I have! 16:15 It takes patience, isn't it? 16:17 Butterflies are beautiful! 16:20 Have you seen those tiny little caterpillars that swim around 16:23 in ponds? 16:24 - Sometimes it's hard to see because they are so tiny. 16:27 This type is quite big but none the less, he has that fins like 16:31 those little ones that just swim around. 16:33 At just the right time, when everything is right, 16:37 just what those funny little brown caterpillars turn into! 16:40 A crazy, tiny but adorable looking little frog! 16:46 That lives in the pond! 16:48 Just how God made it to be! 16:50 Imagine what would happen if the frog tried to live in the 16:52 desert? It wouldn't work, would it? 16:56 God knows! He did everything right! 17:00 Everything has a place in the wild. 17:03 God gave it a part, all its soul... 17:07 He watches nature's perfect balance, God knows where 17:13 everything goes... 17:15 He knows where everything goes, God knows where everything goes. 17:22 He watches nature's perfect balance, God knows where 17:27 everything goes... 17:30 Well little guy, what are you doing down there? 17:33 Are you on your way to the pond? 17:36 Don't let me frighten you! 17:39 I'll get you in! 17:41 You'll be right where you belong to. 17:44 Be right back 17:51 Did you know that one of the best ways to become a good 17:53 friend of Jesus is by spending personal time with Him 17:56 every day? 17:57 Adults do that by praying and by reading their Bibles. 18:01 If you can't read, it's kind of hard, isn't it? 18:04 Maybe you just like listening to tapes. 18:07 Here's a fun way to have your very own devotions, 18:10 every morning when you get up. 18:12 Janice has made this Morning-Time Devotions, 18:14 for her kids and for you! 18:16 Complete with songs, prayers, and stories! 18:19 For more information, have your parents write to 18:22 Morning Time Ministries, Box 208-A, 18:27 Kitwanga, B.C. VOj 2AO Canada, 18:37 or call 1-800-263-7671. 18:43 Here's the number again: 1-800-263-7671. 18:52 My bell just rang and I'm pulling up the basket. 18:55 I wonder what's inside of it... 18:57 Let's see! Oh, look at this! 19:00 This is an old-fashioned pocket watch. 19:05 Just like the kind my grandpa had when I was a little girl. 19:09 Looks just like it... 19:11 Watches are really important, aren't they? 19:14 Because if you didn't have a watch or a clock on the wall, 19:18 you wouldn't know what time it was. 19:19 If you didn't know what time it was, you may be late for 19:22 school, you might be late for appointments, you might be late 19:25 for dinner, you might even miss your meal. 19:28 Watches are important! 19:29 It's important that clocks and watches work right too. 19:33 I guess everything would have to be all in order, inside 19:36 of them. 19:37 All working together, all the pieces have to work together 19:40 just right... 19:41 I wonder if I can open this up! 19:43 Let's see! 19:46 There! Okay... 19:48 Oh, this is really interesting. 19:50 Would you like to see the inside of it? 19:52 See if you can look real carefully... 19:54 This is how you wind the watch, with this winder up here. 19:59 Listen... 20:01 It's how you wind it. When you wind it, you can feel 20:04 it getting tighter because it's putting tension on this spring. 20:07 This is the main spring of the watch. 20:10 Now you know, tension it's probably a word you 20:13 heard before. 20:14 That is what makes when you pull an elastic band. 20:17 It makes it real tight and then when it comes back together, 20:21 you see when you wind this, then it puts the tension on the 20:25 main spring and then as it's coming back together, 20:29 it's making the balance wheel turn back and forth. 20:32 See back and forth? 20:34 And then the balance wheel is putting tension in all the 20:37 little gears inside there that are ticking and turning. 20:40 As they slowly turn at just the right speed, then those little 20:44 gears are what make the hands of the clock go around in just 20:48 the precise speed and precise time they should go around. 20:52 I think clocks and watches are pretty important, and the way 20:57 that they work together and the way that everything is 21:00 inside of them in an orderly way is important too. 21:03 We can learn a lot from the things around us about how 21:06 God wants us to be, can't we? 21:08 I've got a story and I think you'll enjoy it, so why don't 21:11 we come over to the story corner, okay? 21:17 Watches are good because they can help us remember to do 21:20 things at just the right time and this story is a very 21:24 interesting story about a little girl who didn't always 21:27 get her things done at the right time, and what she learned. 21:32 Grace and Norma were sisters. Grace was 14 and Norma was 12. 21:36 But even though they were sisters, they were as different 21:39 as lemons and strawberries. 21:42 Norma was very orderly and Grace was just the opposite. 21:47 Grace's mother was always trying to figure out some way of 21:51 helping her to be more tidy, but nothing seemed to work. 21:56 Often she would say in a despairing tone: 21:58 'Grace, I don't know how you can even think while your things 22:04 always so messy!' 22:06 Grace made all sorts of excuses for her untidiness, but her poor 22:10 mother would just shake her head and say: 22:13 'Dearest child, there is no excuse for your unkept clothes 22:17 and messy room! You have plenty of time to keep things neat 22:21 and orderly, and you should use your time wisely. 22:25 Do your job the right and when it needs to be done. ' 22:29 In the meantime, Norma would be scurrying about tiding her 22:31 bedroom and mending a fallen down and lost button. 22:36 She was such a cheerfully busy little miss, that made Grace's 22:40 laziness all more noticeable. 22:43 One warm summer afternoon Grace was out in the yard, 22:47 lazily laying in the hammock. 22:49 When Norma came into the yard and excitedly told Grace that 22:54 Mrs. Jackson just called and invited them to go with their 22:58 family on a drive. 23:00 Norma said: 'Even though mom is not home, I accepted for both 23:05 of us because I know she won't mind. We better hurry now, 23:09 it's 2 o'clock, mom should be home by 3 and they are picking 23:12 us up at 4 o'clock sharp. ' 23:16 Grace yawned and she said: 'That sounds nice. Do we have 23:21 to bring anything for the picnic this afternoon?' 23:24 - 'Yes, I almost forgot to tell you sister Norma, what would 23:27 you rather do? Bake cookies or prepare 23:29 carrot sticks?' 23:31 'I think I'll choose the carrot sticks. They sound easier.' 23:36 said Grace. 23:37 - 'Okay, said Norma, then I'll better hurry if I'm going to get 23:40 the cookies baked in time. ' And away she ran. 23:43 But Grace wasn't quite so energetic. She left the hammock 23:48 and wondered upstairs, into her bedroom. 23:51 The problem was that her closet was in such a mess, 23:56 that she couldn't even seem to find anything decent to wear. 24:00 Anything that she did find had some sort of a problem. 24:04 The blue dress was missing buttons, the green dress' 24:07 hand was down and the pink one needed to be washed. 24:11 Finally she chose her yellow dress because it was missing 24:14 the least buttons and only had one small tear. 24:18 In the meantime, mother had just gotten home and was listening to 24:23 Norma's excited explanation of the good time in store for 24:27 the girls. She smiled and she listened to Norma's story 24:31 and then she said: 'I'm happy that you can go with 24:34 them. You'll have a splendid time I know. How about your 24:37 picnic lunch? Do you have everything ready?' 24:40 Said Norma: 'I have already taken one batch of cookies out 24:43 of the oven and the second will be out any minute. 24:46 There will be plenty to take, plus enough to fill the cookie 24:49 jar. 'Oh', said mother laughing, 24:52 'your father won't mind that one bit, Norma!' 24:55 Right then Grace came strolling into the room with her dress 25:00 over her arm and said: 25:01 'Oh mom, I'm wondering if you would be able to mend my dress. 25:05 I have to fix carrots sticks and finish getting my hair done. ' 25:10 Mother looked at the dress and Grace's hair and said: 25:13 - 'Grace, is that the only dress you can find?' 25:17 - 'Well!' Said Grace and she began to make 25:21 excuses but mother just said: 25:24 - 'Grace, you must learn your lessons sometime and maybe today 25:31 is the day. You will have to fix your own dress, my dear. 25:34 I have told you over and over to keep your clothes 25:39 neatly mended but you don't even listen. 25:43 And instead you choose to let your things get untidy 25:46 and now you must suffer the consequences. ' 25:50 Grace slowly turned and started upstairs, her face in flame 25:56 with embarrassment and shame. 26:00 But then her mother called her back. 26:01 - 'Grace, come to think of it, you better prepare those 26:06 carrot sticks before you mend your dress because Norma 26:09 will need to take the carrot sticks on the picnic, 26:13 even if you aren't ready to go.' 26:15 Grace began to beg her mother not to make her do them first 26:19 but her mother firmly replied: 26:22 - 'Do as I say Grace, you must do your share of the picnic 26:27 preparation. It wouldn't be fair for Norma to have to do it all, 26:31 just because you have been irresponsible and lazy. ' 26:36 Grace reluctantly began to head into the kitchen and started to 26:40 fix the carrot sticks. She tried to hurry but by the time she 26:45 was done, it was almost 3:30. 26:48 She dashed upstairs to mend her dress. She felt very 26:52 frustrated and she tried to hurry but as she worked on 26:56 her dress, she did have time to think and deep down inside 27:01 she knew that it was her own fault that she was in this 27:05 pickle now. 27:06 At exactly 4 o'clock, the Jacksons drove up and Norma 27:10 rushed out to the car with the lunch basket in hand. 27:14 Mother came out and explained what it happened, to make Grace 27:18 unable to go along. 27:20 Everyone was sad that Grace couldn't come, but they realized 27:24 that it was best. 27:26 While they drove away, Grace wore tears in her eyes 27:31 looking through the window. 27:33 In her heart she knew it was her own fault that she wasn't 27:37 going with them and she made a little promise to herself 27:42 that she would start right then to be more orderly and careful 27:47 with her things. 27:48 Then she dried her tears and went back to her mending... 27:53 She knew she had a lot to catch up on... 27:57 Did you like that story? 27:59 I did. There's lots to learn. 28:02 I think God has a special place for you in his great universe... 28:06 And he knows just where you belong and what you have to do. 28:11 Everyone has a place in this world, God gave you a part, 28:16 all your all, God helps you live in harmony, 28:21 God knows where everyone goes. 28:26 He knows where you go and where I go too. 28:29 I think I'll see you next week, okay! 28:31 Bye, bye! |
