00:00:01.36\00:00:06.20
When my heart begins
to fear, He is my Light.
00:00:06.23\00:00:09.70
I can smile for He is near,
00:00:09.74\00:00:12.57
Jesus my Light.
00:00:12.64\00:00:14.31
When I am blue and feeling sad,
00:00:14.34\00:00:17.25
He is my Light.
00:00:17.28\00:00:18.75
He reminds me I can
be glad. Jesus my Light.
00:00:18.78\00:00:23.28
He is the Light,
yes Jesus my Light.
00:00:23.32\00:00:27.96
In Him is no
darkness, in Him is no night.
00:00:27.99\00:00:32.63
Where ever leads me,
He makes my way bright.
00:00:32.66\00:00:37.23
I'll shine for
Jesus, Jesus my Light.
00:00:37.27\00:00:43.17
Here comes Aunt Francine.
00:00:43.61\00:00:44.94
Hi kids, How are you? You're
doing wonderful? I'm so glad to
00:00:45.64\00:00:51.78
be here in the tree house with
you. Oh this is always so much
00:00:51.81\00:00:56.52
fun. I'm so glad you're here and
I'd like to welcome the kids at
00:00:56.55\00:01:01.59
home. This is Jesus My Light
and I'm Aunt Francine and this
00:01:01.62\00:01:06.03
is little Ginger. We're going to
learn a little bit about Jesus
00:01:06.06\00:01:10.37
and His character. Are you
ready? Yeah. His character was
00:01:10.40\00:01:15.30
sprouting and He loved to
spend time in nature and see the
00:01:15.34\00:01:17.87
little critters which reminds me
of a song, All God's Critters.
00:01:17.91\00:01:22.48
Do you know that song? Yeah.
Would you like to sing it with
00:01:22.51\00:01:25.18
us. Let's sing it together. ¤ ¤
00:01:25.21\00:01:31.22
¤ ¤
00:01:31.25\00:02:06.96
I think I get out of breath on
that one. But that's kind of fun
00:02:06.99\00:02:11.16
isn't it? I know Jesus has fun
talking about nature. And you
00:02:11.19\00:02:17.80
know what? I can't wait to
see what that is. Thank you for
00:02:17.83\00:02:20.34
joining us. I appreciate
you taking the time. Yes, so you
00:02:20.37\00:02:25.24
know what? Are you ready
for a Bible story? Yeah. Are you
00:02:25.27\00:02:29.64
ready? All right. Let's get
started. So you know when Jesus
00:02:29.68\00:02:39.65
was little, I believe that
He left Egypt and went back to
00:02:39.69\00:02:44.13
Nazareth. And you know, there
in Nazareth I believe He spent a
00:02:44.16\00:02:48.23
lot of time out in nature
and his mother was his example.
00:02:48.26\00:02:52.40
Don't you think? Yeah. Every
morning early in the morning
00:02:52.43\00:02:54.74
He would go
00:02:54.77\00:02:56.10
up to the mountain side, first
with his mother, and as he got
00:02:56.14\00:02:59.14
older He would probably go
and talk to His heavenly Father.
00:02:59.17\00:03:02.31
He wanted to spend time working
on His character and God was
00:03:02.34\00:03:06.28
working on Him and I can just
imaging Him picking up a little
00:03:06.31\00:03:10.69
bee or watching the little
caterpillars on the grass.
00:03:10.72\00:03:13.76
Do you like doing something like
that? Yeah. Do you like seeing
00:03:13.79\00:03:16.49
something out in nature? I love
nature. I can never get enough
00:03:16.52\00:03:20.20
time out in nature. And so I see
Jesus, he would be out there and
00:03:20.23\00:03:25.37
talking to His heavenly Father.
And often He would sing. Do you
00:03:25.40\00:03:31.04
like to sing? Yeah. I like
to sing. Now Aunt Francine can't
00:03:31.07\00:03:34.98
hold a note but she likes to
sing. Wouldn't you like to see
00:03:35.01\00:03:37.18
what it was like back in that
time? I would like to see. Let's
00:03:37.25\00:03:41.05
get out a picture book and
I think somehow we might see a
00:03:41.08\00:03:46.15
little glimpse of what Jesus
might have done and let's see
00:03:46.19\00:03:50.73
on our Bible scene. Here it is.
Here's Jesus. And I can see Him
00:03:50.76\00:03:56.06
taking maybe the scroll. We
think that He possibly had a
00:03:56.10\00:03:59.03
scroll, whether it was from
Isaiah, or maybe he was able to
00:03:59.07\00:04:04.24
borrow it or maybe it was
a family treasure but it's
00:04:04.31\00:04:08.24
possible that He had some kind
of scripture to go, and then He
00:04:08.28\00:04:11.41
would try to memorize and
observe nature. The prophet
00:04:11.45\00:04:17.29
Isaiah says, And the voice said
cry out and he said, what shall
00:04:17.32\00:04:21.52
I cry. All flesh is grass
and all is loveliness is like a
00:04:21.56\00:04:25.96
flower of the field. The grass
withers and the flower fades
00:04:25.99\00:04:29.50
because the breath of the Lord
blows upon it. Surely the people
00:04:29.53\00:04:33.47
are grass. The grass withers,
the flower fades but the word of
00:04:33.54\00:04:37.77
our God stands forever.
Heavenly Father, thank you for
00:04:37.81\00:04:47.78
giving me your word. Thank you
for giving me my family like my
00:04:47.82\00:04:51.55
mom so I can give your beautiful
flowers to them. In your name I
00:04:51.59\00:04:55.36
pray, Amen.
00:04:55.39\00:04:59.26
¤ ¤
00:04:59.29\00:05:10.41
Did you see how happy Jesus
was coming down that mountain?
00:05:10.44\00:05:13.71
He was surely happy and you know
what? Having a happy attitude
00:05:13.78\00:05:17.15
is part of it, but how do
you get a happy attitude? Do you
00:05:17.18\00:05:19.75
know sometimes it's just being
thankful. Sometimes we need to
00:05:19.78\00:05:23.49
be thankful for the things, like
He was thankful for His mother
00:05:23.52\00:05:26.09
and father. And sometimes just
being out in nature. We need to
00:05:26.12\00:05:29.76
constantly be thankful that we
see Jesus, right, and His nature
00:05:29.79\00:05:34.30
And I'm so happy that Mary
and Joseph realized that they
00:05:34.33\00:05:38.73
weren't necessarily teaching
Jesus. They were trying to teach
00:05:38.77\00:05:42.44
Jesus the best they could but
God chose Mary and Joseph for
00:05:42.47\00:05:46.78
a specific reason and that's
to realize that God Himself was
00:05:46.81\00:05:51.61
teaching Jesus by being out
in nature. Do you know beside
00:05:51.65\00:05:55.18
learning the scriptures nature
is another book of knowledge.
00:05:55.22\00:06:00.36
Did you know that? Do you enjoy
spending time out in nature?
00:06:00.39\00:06:04.79
Yeah. Yeah, I sure do. I love
to spend time out in nature and
00:06:04.83\00:06:08.93
there's not enough time that
I can spend. And I'm so thankful
00:06:08.96\00:06:11.53
that Jesus had a thankful
00:06:11.57\00:06:12.90
spirit and He wanted to
learn about nature. Now I have
00:06:13.94\00:06:17.91
something very special but
we have to clear the table.
00:06:17.94\00:06:21.01
You want to help me clear this
little table. We might even need
00:06:21.04\00:06:25.05
to move Ginger a little bit.
And you know what? I have some
00:06:25.08\00:06:28.62
helpers and we're going to move
something very special. Ginger,
00:06:28.65\00:06:33.96
you're going to have to move
over a little bit, Ginger, just
00:06:33.99\00:06:36.83
right here, okay. And let's move
over and let's make some room
00:06:36.86\00:06:41.13
for this hive. Shaylen, can
you move over just a little bit?
00:06:41.16\00:06:44.73
So let's see if we can carry
this hive in and I got to see,
00:06:44.77\00:06:49.54
which one... Come on in.
You boys are doing a good job
00:06:49.57\00:06:54.08
gentlemen. Ohh. That was heavy.
And I've got to remember which
00:06:54.11\00:06:58.91
one I wanted to look for.
Have you seen a beehive before?
00:06:58.95\00:07:02.95
Yeah. There's some lessons we
can learn about bees. Yes. What
00:07:02.98\00:07:09.19
do you know about bees?
00:07:09.22\00:07:10.56
They make honey.
00:07:10.63\00:07:12.03
They make honey. Who doesn't
like honey? Do you like honey at
00:07:12.06\00:07:14.76
home. I sure love having
honey. And so I want to show you
00:07:14.80\00:07:18.93
something wonderful. Oh, maybe
it wasn't this one. Maybe this
00:07:18.97\00:07:22.97
is one of them. Nope, it
was another one. We got... This
00:07:23.00\00:07:27.11
turned around. But do you
see how they have little cones?
00:07:27.18\00:07:29.18
And some of them have honey. So
I've got to see if it's this one
00:07:29.21\00:07:34.38
See how heavy this one
is? Do you see how it is?
00:07:34.42\00:07:39.42
That one's got a lot.
00:07:39.45\00:07:40.79
That one has a lot. And there
was another one that I wanted to
00:07:40.86\00:07:42.96
show you. They're making... See
how they're building it up and
00:07:42.99\00:07:47.60
then they put their honey in it.
Isn't that kind of special? But
00:07:47.63\00:07:51.83
what kind of lessons can we
learn about bees? There's so
00:07:51.87\00:07:55.14
many lessons that we can learn.
Look how heavy this one is. Ooo!
00:07:55.17\00:07:59.71
Yes, it's very... Oh, I need to
go... I'm trying to look for a
00:07:59.74\00:08:04.45
particular one. Oh this was
it. There we go. See how wide it
00:08:04.48\00:08:09.48
gets. They build it up and then
they make their honey. Do you
00:08:09.52\00:08:11.82
know that they have to travel
90,000 miles in order to get one
00:08:11.85\00:08:20.00
pound of honey? That's a lot of
work, I would think. And do you
00:08:20.03\00:08:25.47
know that every flight that they
take they stop between 50 to 100
00:08:25.50\00:08:30.44
flowers in order to make that
honey. That's a lot of work,
00:08:30.51\00:08:34.81
don't you think? Yeah. It is.
And do you think that happens
00:08:34.84\00:08:40.92
overnight? No, God has to keep
building your character, right,
00:08:40.95\00:08:45.95
constantly. It doesn't happen
all of a sudden. Jesus wants us
00:08:45.99\00:08:50.06
to be more like Him and shine
for Him and learn about nature
00:08:50.13\00:08:53.70
I'm so glad that we have things
like honey. I love honey. How
00:08:53.73\00:08:58.73
about you? I really like to have
honey. But you know what. Jesus
00:08:58.77\00:09:03.17
has wonderful things for us and
wonderful plans. But you know He
00:09:03.20\00:09:08.01
wants you to work on
your character too. Is there
00:09:08.04\00:09:11.75
something that God wants
you to work on? Can you think of
00:09:11.78\00:09:15.65
something. I wouldn't say it
out loud but sometimes you might
00:09:15.68\00:09:19.25
have some kind of goal that you
want to work on too. I can think
00:09:19.29\00:09:23.43
of some. I have a special
hat that's over in our treasure
00:09:23.46\00:09:27.70
chest. Shalen can you
take it for us. Can you grab it
00:09:27.73\00:09:31.57
carefully. I see a hat there and
I want you to think of somebody
00:09:31.60\00:09:39.11
who wore a top hat. Do you know
anybody that used to keep their
00:09:39.14\00:09:44.65
notes in their top hat? Abraham.
Abraham Lincoln. Now do you know
00:09:44.68\00:09:50.92
the other name of Abraham
Lincoln? What was he called?
00:09:50.99\00:09:52.99
Does anybody know. Honest Abe.
Honest Abe. You're right. He was
00:09:53.02\00:09:59.36
a clerk and he would know
sometimes he forgot to give
00:09:59.39\00:10:02.33
somebody the correct change. And
he would go miles to make that
00:10:02.36\00:10:06.20
change correct. Do you think
that happened when he was just
00:10:06.23\00:10:09.40
older as an adult? No. How
did he get the name Honest Abe?
00:10:09.44\00:10:13.78
Did he chop down a cherry tree?
00:10:13.81\00:10:16.51
Well that was a different
president. I think that was
00:10:16.54\00:10:19.08
George Washington our
first president. But you Abraham
00:10:19.11\00:10:23.28
Lincoln he didn't do that just
from the beginning. He had to
00:10:23.32\00:10:27.46
know what was right and be
honest. Do you think his parents
00:10:27.49\00:10:30.63
had something to do with that?
I think so. And we can be honest
00:10:30.66\00:10:35.56
and learn there's certain things
that we can keep growing and
00:10:35.60\00:10:39.27
sprouting and being like Jesus.
I hope that you can make a goal
00:10:39.30\00:10:42.67
somehow, someway to be like
Jesus. Are you ready for some
00:10:42.70\00:10:46.91
questions? Yeah. Ooo.
Let's see if you were listening.
00:10:46.98\00:10:50.85
Nature. Was it A. nature? How
many of you agree it's nature?
00:10:57.29\00:11:04.06
Yeah, you're right. You beat me
to it. It's nature. We already
00:11:04.13\00:11:08.30
know that it was nature.
00:11:08.33\00:11:09.73
A. Complaining. B. Being
thankful or C. Making fun of
00:11:14.70\00:11:25.55
someone. Which one would
help us have a good attitude?
00:11:25.58\00:11:32.15
B. You can help me show me
your sign language. Okay last
00:11:32.19\00:11:33.56
question. Are you ready
for a third question? Okay.
00:11:34.66\00:11:37.13
That was something in our video
that we saw him do. Do you think
00:11:40.80\00:11:44.17
it was A. Singing, B. Screaming
at the top of our lungs or
00:11:44.20\00:11:50.41
C. crying. A. A. you're right.
Jesus wants us to always be
00:11:50.44\00:11:56.78
happy and live for him. He loves
to hear us sing and even though
00:11:56.85\00:12:00.82
Aunt Francine can't hold a note
that's okay I hope that I can
00:12:00.85\00:12:05.05
still keep growing to be like
Jesus. Even though I can't...
00:12:05.09\00:12:08.82
He still loves to hear me sing.
Even though your parents might
00:12:08.86\00:12:11.89
not like hearing you sing.
I know God can work things out
00:12:11.93\00:12:17.07
with the angels so that my
singing sounds a little bit
00:12:17.10\00:12:19.43
better. Wouldn't you like to
sing for Jesus? Would you like
00:12:19.47\00:12:23.44
to go out in nature? Yeah. Shall
we go out in nature after this?
00:12:23.51\00:12:26.07
So we'll have our craft. Are
you ready to get out craft? All
00:12:26.11\00:12:29.28
right, who wants to get our
craft? I can. All right go ahead
00:12:29.31\00:12:32.98
Please. Thank you. Let's get
ready for our craft. You know
00:12:33.01\00:12:39.02
what, we are so thankful that we
can be a light for Jesus and we
00:12:39.05\00:12:42.86
can grow and I hope that
you take this time to grow to be
00:12:42.89\00:12:46.23
like Jesus and learn like
the busy bees. How many miles do
00:12:46.26\00:12:50.47
these bees travel? Ninety
thousand miles and I want to be
00:12:50.50\00:12:57.04
a hard worker like these bees
and have a mission because God
00:12:57.11\00:13:00.88
has a special purpose for you to
live for him each and every day.
00:13:00.91\00:13:04.88
Will you please live for him?
Let's get ready to paint. Are
00:13:04.91\00:13:09.42
you ready? Let's get
some paint. Let's go.
