It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:03.01\00:00:06.97
Looking for a friend like Jesus
00:00:06.98\00:00:10.10
It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:10.11\00:00:13.42
Let's tell them
that He loves us so
00:00:13.43\00:00:16.90
Let's tell them

Hi, boys and girls.
00:00:24.87\00:00:26.36
I've been looking at
this map of the United States
00:00:26.37\00:00:28.43
and it has all 50 states
in it and if you live here
00:00:28.44\00:00:32.32
you could find out just
where you live on this map.
00:00:32.33\00:00:35.77
Perhaps do you have a
map in your house like this
00:00:35.78\00:00:38.31
and you could find out
00:00:38.32\00:00:39.42
where your
hometown is in your state.
00:00:39.43\00:00:41.94
I found the place where I live,
00:00:41.95\00:00:44.29
right here, let
me show it to you.
00:00:44.30\00:00:46.42
Right here in
Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:00:46.43\00:00:50.31
I haven't lived
there very long actually,
00:00:50.32\00:00:52.52
before that I lived
in Boston, Massachusetts,
00:00:52.53\00:00:55.08
right over here.
00:00:55.09\00:00:57.26
Do you see that? When
I did move from Boston?
00:00:57.27\00:01:01.10
It was kind of
a hard day for me.
00:01:01.11\00:01:03.58
When moving day
came I had to say goodbye
00:01:03.59\00:01:06.00
to good friends
and my church family
00:01:06.01\00:01:08.47
and I had to leave many
things that were familiar to me.
00:01:08.48\00:01:11.49
You know, that made
me kind of feel at home.
00:01:11.50\00:01:14.14
I had to leave my
house and all my--
00:01:14.15\00:01:16.51
of course my
favorite shopping malls
00:01:16.52\00:01:18.67
and my own
dentist and my own doctor
00:01:18.68\00:01:20.97
and even the post-office,
where the people there
00:01:20.98\00:01:23.38
knew me and they would--
00:01:23.39\00:01:24.47
I would walk in the
morning and they go,
00:01:24.48\00:01:25.96
hello Brenda, how
are you, you know,
00:01:25.97\00:01:28.25
what made you come here today?
00:01:28.26\00:01:30.39
And you know that
was kind of hard to move
00:01:30.40\00:01:32.05
and leave
familiar things behind.
00:01:32.06\00:01:34.98
But we're going to hear
a story today of a woman
00:01:34.99\00:01:37.50
who also left her
home and of the sad things
00:01:37.51\00:01:40.13
that happened to
her in her new home.
00:01:40.14\00:01:42.61
But don't feel too
badly because this woman
00:01:42.62\00:01:45.32
trusted God and He turned
her sadness into happiness.
00:01:45.33\00:01:50.19
But before you hear
that story, you know what,
00:01:50.20\00:01:52.74
Ranger Jim has
something special for you too.
00:01:52.75\00:01:55.02
And he is gonna tell
you about some wild food,
00:01:55.03\00:01:58.55
that's right, that
you can really eat.
00:01:58.56\00:02:02.17
Hi, boys and girls,
Ranger Jim here saying,
00:02:08.98\00:02:10.99
welcome to Nature Time.
00:02:11.00\00:02:12.28
We're glad you
could join us today.
00:02:12.29\00:02:13.75
My friend Craig Cylke
is here and Craig knows
00:02:13.76\00:02:16.18
quite a bit about foods
that you can find to eat
00:02:16.19\00:02:18.48
in the out of doors
and some of them amaze me.
00:02:18.49\00:02:21.29
Craig, you tell
the boys and girls
00:02:21.30\00:02:22.96
something about
these plants we have.
00:02:22.97\00:02:24.43
Well, Ranger Jim, thank you
00:02:24.44\00:02:25.82
and it's great being
here, boys and girls.
00:02:25.83\00:02:27.97
Did you know
that in life sometimes
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.75
we can be in places
we would never expect.
00:02:30.76\00:02:33.36
Why let's think just
for a moment, just that
00:02:33.37\00:02:35.27
we found out that we're
getting ready to go on a trip
00:02:35.28\00:02:38.08
and on that trip we
boarded one of the big 747 jets
00:02:38.09\00:02:41.70
and we had a little problem,
00:02:41.71\00:02:43.28
over one of the
large mountain ranges
00:02:43.29\00:02:45.46
the jet just
absolutely quit running.
00:02:45.47\00:02:48.09
Oh, no, but, you
know, the Lord protected us
00:02:48.10\00:02:50.11
and we're able to
make a safe landing
00:02:50.12\00:02:52.20
even though it was
an emergency landing
00:02:52.21\00:02:53.79
but we got a
problem, Ranger Jim?
00:02:53.80\00:02:55.72
You know, boys and girls,
00:02:55.73\00:02:57.00
they hadn't even
served us our lunch yet and so
00:02:57.01\00:03:00.09
we're getting hungry
already. Kind of like me.
00:03:00.10\00:03:02.66
And you know some
thing, Ranger Jim?
00:03:02.67\00:03:05.05
We're also thirsty,
now here we are on the top
00:03:05.06\00:03:08.16
of a mountain were you
just landed, and you know what?
00:03:08.17\00:03:11.38
The closest water, Ranger Jim,
00:03:11.39\00:03:13.14
is 600 feet
straight down in the ground.
00:03:13.15\00:03:16.26
What in the world do
you think we might do
00:03:16.27\00:03:17.94
to find water
600 feet underground?
00:03:17.95\00:03:19.59
Tell me I need to know.
00:03:19.60\00:03:20.73
Well, boys and girls
here's what you would do.
00:03:20.74\00:03:23.40
Did you know
that there is a wine
00:03:23.41\00:03:25.72
out in the woods
called-- a lot of people called
00:03:25.73\00:03:29.30
this wild grape
or muscadine wine.
00:03:29.31\00:03:32.29
And you know something,
this wine can give you
00:03:32.30\00:03:35.01
enough water to save your life.
00:03:35.02\00:03:37.66
Here's what you would
do, you would take this wine,
00:03:37.67\00:03:40.17
boys and girls, and
reach as far above your head
00:03:40.18\00:03:43.18
as you can reach and you
would take and cut a ring
00:03:43.19\00:03:45.85
to open up the bark
and then you would take
00:03:45.86\00:03:49.43
and you would cut the bottom,
00:03:49.44\00:03:51.35
or if you weren't fortunate
enough to have a pocket knife
00:03:51.36\00:03:53.73
you could even take two rocks
00:03:53.74\00:03:55.54
and you could
beat the bottom apart.
00:03:55.55\00:03:58.37
You would hold this over--
if we were fortunate enough,
00:03:58.38\00:04:00.86
you know, once
in a while we have
00:04:00.87\00:04:01.89
one of these
little survival kits.
00:04:01.90\00:04:03.76
But if you
didn't have one of them
00:04:03.77\00:04:05.13
you can find a hollow rock or
something that would hold water
00:04:05.14\00:04:08.16
and then you hold
the end of the wine
00:04:08.17\00:04:10.41
over that rock or
that hollow implement
00:04:10.42\00:04:13.47
that you have
found and you will catch
00:04:13.48\00:04:15.21
about a half a cup of
the sweetest tasting water.
00:04:15.22\00:04:18.43
Amazing, that you
have, it is 98% water 2% sap.
00:04:18.44\00:04:22.35
If I was thirsty, then
I could do this, right?
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.51
I could hold it up like this
and let it drip in my mouth.
00:04:24.52\00:04:26.58
You sure could, Ranger Jim.
00:04:26.59\00:04:27.79
Wonderful, wonderful, thank you.
00:04:27.80\00:04:29.70
And, you know, I would
like to show one another thing.
00:04:29.71\00:04:31.39
You can hold
that one, Ranger Jim,
00:04:31.40\00:04:32.71
and let me have this wine
00:04:32.72\00:04:33.75
because this is very important.
00:04:33.76\00:04:35.02
Oh, I know what that is.
00:04:35.03\00:04:36.10
You know, just like we
know about in the Bible
00:04:36.11\00:04:38.63
there is good and
there is bad young people.
00:04:38.64\00:04:41.13
And boys and girls,
this is one of the bad wines,
00:04:41.14\00:04:44.17
but let me show
you the difference.
00:04:44.18\00:04:46.34
You see how this one
looks kind of fuzzy here
00:04:46.35\00:04:49.66
like grizzly does,
you know, little beard.
00:04:49.67\00:04:51.79
Well, this has a beard,
this is called Poison Ivy Wine.
00:04:51.80\00:04:56.05
Now this is too
early in the spring
00:04:56.06\00:04:58.27
or winter right now
for the leaves to be out,
00:04:58.28\00:05:00.73
but this right
here, boys and girls,
00:05:00.74\00:05:02.68
some people were
so allergic to it
00:05:02.69\00:05:04.61
they would just have
to walk by and the pollen
00:05:04.62\00:05:07.01
could actually
blow on their skin
00:05:07.02\00:05:08.75
and they could
contract Poison Ivy.
00:05:08.76\00:05:11.01
So but see the difference,
you see how that's got
00:05:11.02\00:05:13.38
a old man's beard on it
and look at here, Ranger Jim,
00:05:13.39\00:05:15.63
you see this is real
barky looking, no beard.
00:05:15.64\00:05:18.00
Right.
00:05:18.01\00:05:19.00
And this is a unique
thing. See how it sheds.
00:05:19.01\00:05:21.31
That's something, boys
and girls, how that sheds.
00:05:21.32\00:05:23.64
Okay, but that's the
differences of the two wines.
00:05:23.65\00:05:26.06
We wanted to show you that
because you have a good one,
00:05:26.07\00:05:28.57
just as Jesus is good
and you have a bad one
00:05:28.58\00:05:31.34
just as the devil is bad.
00:05:31.35\00:05:32.91
We don't want anything to
do with that guy, you know.
00:05:32.92\00:05:34.62
All right. Nothing
to do with that guy.
00:05:34.63\00:05:36.41
Would you like to learn a
little bit more, Ranger Jim?
00:05:36.42\00:05:38.47
Yes, and tell the boys
and girls about this one.
00:05:38.48\00:05:40.29
Well, fantastic, did
you know, boys and girls,
00:05:40.30\00:05:42.98
that there are no known
00:05:42.99\00:05:45.10
poisonous violets
in the United States?
00:05:45.11\00:05:47.91
This little blue
violet here and if they--
00:05:47.92\00:05:50.34
you can see that from
where you're at in your homes,
00:05:50.35\00:05:52.29
boys and girls, is a
very tasty savor item,
00:05:52.30\00:05:56.27
while you can even eat
the leaves, Ranger Jim.
00:05:56.28\00:05:58.22
Do you think it would be
okay if I eat this one up?
00:05:58.23\00:05:59.59
Please do, and if
you don't mind, you know,
00:05:59.60\00:06:01.39
I didn't quite get all
my nutrients at dinner.
00:06:01.40\00:06:03.61
Can I have one of the leaves?
00:06:03.62\00:06:05.00
Very good, very tasty.
00:06:05.01\00:06:06.56
Now, let's take one and share it
00:06:06.57\00:06:08.28
with the boys and
girls at home, okay.
00:06:08.29\00:06:10.55
See, boys and
girls, isn't that a pretty
00:06:10.56\00:06:12.35
little green leaf,
isn't that something--
00:06:12.36\00:06:13.92
So that would be safe to
eat. That would be safe to eat.
00:06:13.93\00:06:16.25
Now, Ranger Jim, I
have one of my favorites.
00:06:16.26\00:06:21.04
We have had a salad
on our hike, you know,
00:06:21.05\00:06:23.27
that we're trying
to find civilization
00:06:23.28\00:06:25.50
after our airplane wreck.
00:06:25.51\00:06:27.13
And now we need
something to drink,
00:06:27.14\00:06:29.06
something with a
little energy in it,
00:06:29.07\00:06:31.00
and you know what, I like trees,
00:06:31.01\00:06:33.26
don't you like
trees, Ranger Jim?
00:06:33.27\00:06:34.66
Oh, I love trees. I love trees.
00:06:34.67\00:06:35.64
Okay, well, Ranger Jim,
00:06:35.65\00:06:37.28
do you have any
idea what this might be?
00:06:37.29\00:06:39.55
Let me let you smell
it and see if you can
00:06:39.56\00:06:41.65
tell me what that smells like?
00:06:41.66\00:06:43.38
Oh, root beer. Root beer.
00:06:43.39\00:06:45.30
Oh you're absolutely right,
only it's called Sassafras.
00:06:45.31\00:06:48.76
And, boys and girls,
this is what they used to make
00:06:48.77\00:06:51.17
own fashioned root beer out of
00:06:51.18\00:06:53.11
and it makes a very tasty tea
00:06:53.12\00:06:55.10
that actually can be
quite healthy for you.
00:06:55.11\00:06:57.24
Now let me tell you,
you won't be able to see
00:06:57.25\00:06:59.01
the leaves because
it is winter right now.
00:06:59.02\00:07:01.37
If it were to have leaves,
00:07:01.38\00:07:03.69
this is one of the
most unique type of leaves.
00:07:03.70\00:07:06.11
Did you know there is three
different gloves to each plant,
00:07:06.12\00:07:09.94
one glove has a mitten with
our two fingers, young people,
00:07:09.95\00:07:14.10
like this and one has a
glove with one finger on it
00:07:14.11\00:07:18.57
and then one of the
mittens is no fingers.
00:07:18.58\00:07:21.02
Okay, and that's how
you can identify the leaves.
00:07:21.03\00:07:24.29
Well, that's very entertaining,
00:07:24.30\00:07:25.42
Craig, is there one more?
00:07:25.43\00:07:26.40
Well, there is
sure is, Ranger Jim.
00:07:26.41\00:07:28.12
You know, it's a
very common plant,
00:07:28.13\00:07:30.15
this is called a
White Pine and you know,
00:07:30.16\00:07:32.60
it's very easy to
identify it, Ranger Jim.
00:07:32.61\00:07:34.89
Boy and girls, watch
this, we would take a sprig
00:07:34.90\00:07:37.98
of the white pines and I
want you to spell with me.
00:07:37.99\00:07:41.01
At first we're gonna
count, we will count one.
00:07:41.02\00:07:44.60
Well, you know, they
don't always co-operate,
00:07:44.61\00:07:46.68
but I think one is
here that's got all five
00:07:46.69\00:07:49.89
and if you'll notice,
young people, there are actually
00:07:49.90\00:07:52.70
five sprigs to this
white pine needle, and let's--
00:07:52.71\00:07:56.51
let us spell with me W-H-I-T-E,
00:07:56.52\00:08:01.30
white for white pine.
00:08:01.31\00:08:03.00
And, you know, young people,
00:08:03.01\00:08:04.28
Ranger Jim, not only
is the needle edible.
00:08:04.29\00:08:06.99
The plant is edible. You can--
00:08:07.00\00:08:08.74
there is a white
membrane here, boys and girls,
00:08:08.75\00:08:11.11
just under the bark
that you can actually take
00:08:11.12\00:08:13.37
and chew on, or you can
make a very nutritious tea,
00:08:13.38\00:08:16.81
that has four vitamin C.
00:08:16.82\00:08:18.68
And God is just
so good, Ranger Jim,
00:08:18.69\00:08:20.89
He gives us all these
wonderful things to eat.
00:08:20.90\00:08:22.91
We can go through a lot more.
00:08:22.92\00:08:24.47
And we can understand
how our Native Americans
00:08:24.48\00:08:26.70
were able to survive
in the wilderness and use
00:08:26.71\00:08:28.74
some of these
things for medicines.
00:08:28.75\00:08:29.95
Boys and girls, we
want to caution you.
00:08:29.96\00:08:31.68
You're not to go out and
find these foods by yourself.
00:08:31.69\00:08:34.28
Make sure you have a
councilor with you or
00:08:34.29\00:08:36.10
an adult with you to be
sure what these foods are.
00:08:36.11\00:08:38.73
Because we don't
want you becoming sick
00:08:38.74\00:08:40.47
from eating something like this.
00:08:40.48\00:08:41.86
God has provided an abundance
for us to eat and to enjoy,
00:08:41.87\00:08:45.83
but have an
adult with you, be sure
00:08:45.84\00:08:48.11
of what we're eating, okay?
00:08:48.12\00:08:49.24
Ranger Jim as always
saying, boys and girls,
00:08:49.25\00:08:51.44
don't forget to
tell Jesus you love Him
00:08:51.45\00:08:53.68
because He really does love you.
00:08:53.69\00:08:56.45
Hello, boys and girls.
00:09:02.92\00:09:04.40
There is a country
called Great Britain
00:09:04.41\00:09:06.47
and that country has a queen.
00:09:06.48\00:09:08.94
Where ever the queen
stays in that country
00:09:08.95\00:09:11.03
they fly a flag because they're
00:09:11.04\00:09:12.65
so happy to have her there.
00:09:12.66\00:09:14.29
Boys and girls, we
need to show the world
00:09:14.30\00:09:16.75
how happy we are that
Jesus is in our hearts.
00:09:16.76\00:09:19.23
Cindy, do you have
a text for us please?
00:09:19.24\00:09:21.11
I went with them

00:09:21.12\00:09:23.36
with the voice of joy
and praise, Psalms 42:4.
00:09:23.37\00:09:27.80

over the castle of our hearts.

00:10:49.50\00:10:53.92
Hi, today we're
gonna make potato salad.
00:11:04.45\00:11:06.78
It's my mom's
recipe, I really like it too.
00:11:06.79\00:11:09.17
There's lots of ways
you can use potato salad,
00:11:09.18\00:11:11.28
to take it on picnics
00:11:11.29\00:11:14.38
and you can use it
in lunches, anywhere.
00:11:14.39\00:11:17.06
I'm gonna read
the recipe for you.
00:11:17.07\00:11:18.36
First we're
gonna take our potatoes
00:11:34.81\00:11:37.66
and dump them in a bowl.
00:11:37.67\00:11:39.30
Next we're gonna
add our pickle relish
00:11:44.68\00:11:47.42
with lemon juice, and olives.
00:11:47.43\00:11:54.22
You can also add
celery to this if you like it,
00:11:54.23\00:11:57.35
but today I chose not
to, not to add celery.
00:11:57.36\00:12:01.98
And we're gonna take our
soya mayo, can also use carrots.
00:12:01.99\00:12:06.74
Let's put some of this
in, you put however much,
00:12:08.69\00:12:11.60
however much, like if
it's dry, you add more.
00:12:11.61\00:12:14.57
Mix it up.
00:12:20.76\00:12:22.28
This is really good
on picnics and stuff,
00:12:30.16\00:12:32.76
it goes with
sandwiches and other side.
00:12:32.77\00:12:35.17
It's looking a little bit
dry, add a little bit more.
00:12:35.18\00:12:49.66
I said that before you
can use carrots or celery,
00:12:49.67\00:12:52.91
if you like them in it.
00:12:52.92\00:12:57.05
It's looking pretty good.
00:12:57.06\00:12:59.77
Now I'm gonna
add some seasonings.
00:13:03.64\00:13:05.44
Start with our
salt, add a pinch of it.
00:13:05.45\00:13:10.68
And just salt to taste,
if you don't want any salt
00:13:10.69\00:13:12.97
or if you like it with
salt and just put however much
00:13:12.98\00:13:15.77
you want in there and
stir it up a little bit more,
00:13:15.78\00:13:18.90
mix the salt in, add
some of our seasoned salt,
00:13:18.91\00:13:22.68
just a dash, okay.
00:13:25.33\00:13:27.43
Looks pretty good,
we'll stir it one more time,
00:13:32.49\00:13:34.20
get that stirred in and
then pour it into our bowl.
00:13:34.21\00:13:39.31
Here we go, pour it in.
00:13:54.23\00:13:57.93
Go.
00:14:01.73\00:14:06.75
Okay, put this off to the side.
00:14:08.67\00:14:10.72
I'm gonna add some
paprika on the top,
00:14:16.18\00:14:21.68
you don't have to add
it, it's just for its color,
00:14:21.69\00:14:25.28
on the top, then
we're gonna make--
00:14:25.29\00:14:31.04
we're just gonna
add some tomato slices,
00:14:31.05\00:14:35.53
make it look nice
and just decorate it.
00:14:35.54\00:14:39.31
Can do what ever you
want with the tomato slices
00:14:43.58\00:14:45.62
and the parsley,
take the parsley.
00:14:45.63\00:14:50.06
Add some parsley
around the sides too.
00:14:57.60\00:14:59.14
You can just add
however much you want,
00:15:04.17\00:15:05.93
just to make it look nice
and so it, add some color too.
00:15:05.94\00:15:12.66
Now add this rest
of this parsley here,
00:15:12.67\00:15:14.88
take the spoon out,
show us the finished product.
00:15:14.89\00:15:22.44
Hope you will try
this. I think you'll like it.
00:15:22.45\00:15:26.30
And until next time,
keep cooking and eat healthy.
00:15:26.31\00:15:29.85
Oh, I'm just so
happy and I praise God
00:15:37.05\00:15:40.98
for this beautiful
day and for this precious
00:15:40.99\00:15:43.71
grandson of
mine, his name is Obed.
00:15:43.72\00:15:48.07
Oh, by the way my name is Naomi.
00:15:48.08\00:15:50.49
You know, when my
name was given to me,
00:15:50.50\00:15:52.46
names had special meaning
00:15:52.47\00:15:54.37
and you know what
Naomi means? It means my joy.
00:15:54.38\00:15:57.63
And truly this
grandson of mine is my joy.
00:15:57.64\00:16:01.35
Oh, wait, I'm getting
way ahead of my story.
00:16:01.36\00:16:04.49
You know, I wasn't
always a happy person.
00:16:04.50\00:16:06.92
There was a time when
I was very, very unhappy.
00:16:06.93\00:16:11.24
Let me tell you about it.
00:16:11.25\00:16:13.94
Sometime ago in
my country of Judea,
00:16:13.95\00:16:16.81
in the city of
Bethlehem, there was a famine.
00:16:16.82\00:16:20.18
Now, a famine is when there
is no food for people to eat
00:16:20.19\00:16:23.35
and they can't grow it
and the people starve and die.
00:16:23.36\00:16:27.25
So my husband Elimelech
and I decided that we would
00:16:27.26\00:16:30.37
go to a different
country where they had food.
00:16:30.38\00:16:33.80
So we traveled with our
two sons, Mahlon and Chilion
00:16:33.81\00:16:37.08
and went to the land of Moab.
00:16:37.09\00:16:39.72
Now the people
on the land of Moab,
00:16:39.73\00:16:41.46
they didn't worship the
true God in heaven like we did.
00:16:41.47\00:16:45.05
Do you know what they worshiped?
00:16:45.06\00:16:46.52
They made little
idols out of wood and stone
00:16:46.53\00:16:50.27
and they worshiped
them and they thought that
00:16:50.28\00:16:52.92
those little idols
would do things for them.
00:16:52.93\00:16:55.29
And, you know, they
were afraid of those
00:16:55.30\00:16:56.96
little idols
that they made also.
00:16:56.97\00:16:59.83
But we remained
faithful and we kept
00:16:59.84\00:17:02.15
worshiping the
true God in heaven.
00:17:02.16\00:17:05.62
Well, after a time, my husband
00:17:05.63\00:17:08.63
became ill and he died.
00:17:08.64\00:17:11.59
I was very sad and I
missed him very much.
00:17:11.60\00:17:16.55
But I still had my two sons.
00:17:16.56\00:17:20.08
Well, my sons they took
wives of the women of Moab
00:17:20.09\00:17:23.62
and they were such
good daughter-in-laws,
00:17:23.63\00:17:26.70
one's name was Orpah
and the other was Ruth.
00:17:26.71\00:17:30.91
And you know we lived quite
happily there for ten years,
00:17:30.92\00:17:34.60
then suddenly both of
my sons died and I was left
00:17:34.61\00:17:42.16
with my daughter-in-laws
and we were so unhappy.
00:17:42.17\00:17:46.01
We were heart
broken and we didn't know
00:17:46.02\00:17:48.99
what we were going to do.
00:17:49.00\00:17:51.51
Because women couldn't
own land and we had no way
00:17:51.52\00:17:55.71
to provide for ourselves
and we just didn't know
00:17:55.72\00:18:00.14
what we were going to do.
00:18:00.15\00:18:02.40
But about this
time, I heard that
00:18:02.41\00:18:04.55
in my country
the famine was over.
00:18:04.56\00:18:07.11
So I decided I was
going to go back to Bethlehem.
00:18:07.12\00:18:11.63
Now my two daughter-in-laws
they wanted to go with me
00:18:11.64\00:18:14.97
but I told them,
"no girls, you go back
00:18:14.98\00:18:17.75
to your mother's
house, there you will find
00:18:17.76\00:18:21.38
other husbands and they will
be able to take care of you.
00:18:21.39\00:18:24.63
I have no way of
taking care of you.
00:18:24.64\00:18:26.27
I have no more
sons for you to marry."
00:18:26.28\00:18:29.94
Well, they cried and
they didn't want to leave
00:18:29.95\00:18:31.95
but after urging,
Orpah kissed me goodbye
00:18:31.96\00:18:34.90
and she did go back
to her mother's house.
00:18:34.91\00:18:37.58
But Ruth, she just hung
on to me and she pleaded
00:18:37.59\00:18:41.06
she said, please
don't make me go back,
00:18:41.07\00:18:44.09
I'll go where you go,
your people will be my people
00:18:44.10\00:18:48.32
and your God will be my God.
00:18:48.33\00:18:50.97
You know, Ruth
believed in the God of heaven
00:18:50.98\00:18:54.76
and she loved me very much.
00:18:54.77\00:18:57.50
And so I decided
after these earnest pleas,
00:18:57.51\00:19:00.83
that I would let
her come with me.
00:19:00.84\00:19:03.73
So we started out for Bethlehem.
00:19:03.74\00:19:06.27
We had little food and
little money and no protection.
00:19:06.28\00:19:09.33
It was very dangerous for
two women to travel alone.
00:19:09.34\00:19:13.95
But we prayed to God
before we left for protection
00:19:13.96\00:19:18.12
and you know, He did
bring us to Bethlehem safely.
00:19:18.13\00:19:22.36
Is that a good
treat? You like that?
00:19:22.37\00:19:25.24
Sure, that's a good treat.
00:19:25.25\00:19:26.58
You know, I'm
telling my friends about you
00:19:26.59\00:19:29.18
and about a special story.
00:19:29.19\00:19:32.25
When we reached
the city of Bethlehem,
00:19:32.26\00:19:34.43
the women of the
city came out to meet us.
00:19:34.44\00:19:36.79
And they looked and
they said, "Is this Naomi?"
00:19:36.80\00:19:40.53
And I said, "Don't call me
Naomi which means 'my joy,'
00:19:40.54\00:19:44.38
call me Mara,
which means bitterness."
00:19:44.39\00:19:47.09
I went away came, I went
away full, but returned empty.
00:19:47.10\00:19:52.24
I felt the Lord had
dealt bitterly with me
00:19:52.25\00:19:54.87
and letting my
husband and my two sons die.
00:19:54.88\00:19:59.05
Well, I just could
only think of what was
00:19:59.06\00:20:02.07
going to happen to Ruth and I.
00:20:02.08\00:20:04.18
I imagined that we
were going to have to crawl
00:20:04.19\00:20:06.69
on our hands and knees
in the fields of strangers
00:20:06.70\00:20:09.71
and picking up just a
kernel of grain at the time
00:20:09.72\00:20:12.86
that dropped from
what the harvesters
00:20:12.87\00:20:15.26
would drop as they
were harvesting the fields.
00:20:15.27\00:20:18.26
And sometimes the people were
00:20:18.27\00:20:20.47
very mean to the gleaners too.
00:20:20.48\00:20:22.73
That's what the
people were called that went
00:20:22.74\00:20:25.04
in the fields and picked up
these little pieces of grain.
00:20:25.05\00:20:27.75
And sometimes you
would get such a little grain
00:20:27.76\00:20:30.30
that you'd go hungry that day.
00:20:30.31\00:20:32.91
Well, I want to
tell you that God changed
00:20:32.92\00:20:36.75
my sorrow to joy, He
blessed me with Ruth.
00:20:36.76\00:20:41.02
Ruth was such a
good daughter-in-law.
00:20:41.03\00:20:43.34
She was better than seven sons.
00:20:43.35\00:20:45.66
And you know, just
after we were there,
00:20:45.67\00:20:48.17
just a short time,
she was out gleaning
00:20:48.18\00:20:51.10
in one of the
fields of a very kind man
00:20:51.11\00:20:53.97
and he was wealthy and
he saw Ruth gleaning out
00:20:53.98\00:20:57.85
in the field and
his name was Boaz.
00:20:57.86\00:21:00.39
And he asked his servants,
00:21:00.40\00:21:02.03
"Who is that young
woman out there gleaning?"
00:21:02.04\00:21:04.86
And they told him that
she was my daughter-in-law
00:21:04.87\00:21:08.36
and that her husband
had died and she had left
00:21:08.37\00:21:10.87
her family and
returned to Bethlehem
00:21:10.88\00:21:13.70
to be with me because she loved
00:21:13.71\00:21:16.35
the God in
heaven and she loved me.
00:21:16.36\00:21:18.37
Well, Boaz thought, what
a wonderful girl that is,
00:21:18.38\00:21:22.07
that would come and help
her mother-in-law out like that.
00:21:22.08\00:21:25.20
And you know, he
decided to marry Ruth
00:21:25.21\00:21:28.07
and that's where all
my joy became to real.
00:21:28.08\00:21:32.09
Why we had a nice
home for ourselves
00:21:32.10\00:21:35.29
and Boaz provided
for us so abundantly.
00:21:35.30\00:21:39.00
God used Ruth in
this special way.
00:21:39.01\00:21:42.46
And you know, in
time Boaz and Ruth
00:21:42.47\00:21:44.89
had this
precious grandson of mine.
00:21:44.90\00:21:47.79
Oh and truly
this baby is my joy.
00:21:47.80\00:21:51.75
And I want you to
know that no matter
00:21:51.76\00:21:54.12
what happens to you,
or how hard you're hurt,
00:21:54.13\00:21:57.20
or how sad you get, God
will turn your sorrow into joy.
00:21:57.21\00:22:01.92
If you just pray
to Him and ask Him
00:22:01.93\00:22:04.20
just like He did mine.
00:22:04.21\00:22:07.13
Is that a good
treat, little baby?
00:22:07.14\00:22:08.83
Oh such a good treat.
00:22:08.84\00:22:10.98
Wasn't that a
wonderful story about Naomi.
00:22:17.53\00:22:20.30
You know, Jesus will
watch over and protect us too,
00:22:20.31\00:22:23.04
won't He? Just
like He did for Naomi.
00:22:23.05\00:22:24.76
Well, it's mailbox
time, boys and girls,
00:22:24.77\00:22:26.96
and I'm getting
ready to see if we have
00:22:26.97\00:22:28.46
some mail in our mailbox.
00:22:28.47\00:22:30.00
I'm hoping I've
a letter from you.
00:22:30.01\00:22:31.74
Let's look here and see
and oh, I do have some mail.
00:22:31.75\00:22:36.24
Yes, I do. Oh, I
think I have one here from,
00:22:36.25\00:22:39.49
boys and girls, I've one
letter here from Thailand,
00:22:39.50\00:22:43.02
and one from Idaho, and Alabama.
00:22:43.03\00:22:46.51
But before I
get into the letters
00:22:46.52\00:22:49.61
I want you to
meet a friend of mine
00:22:49.62\00:22:51.26
that's joining us
on Sharing Time today.
00:22:51.27\00:22:53.37
This is Emily and Emily
is from Knoxville, Tennessee.
00:22:53.38\00:22:56.95
Thank you, Emily, for joining
me today on Sharing Time.
00:22:56.96\00:22:59.82
You know, Emily, I
really like the story
00:22:59.83\00:23:03.19
that you told me
about how you share Jesus.
00:23:03.20\00:23:05.59
Can you tell the
boys and girls at home,
00:23:05.60\00:23:07.38
how you share Jesus? Sure.
00:23:07.39\00:23:09.04
What do you do with it, to show
00:23:09.05\00:23:12.32
something very
special? I really liked it.
00:23:12.33\00:23:14.29
Every year my
friends and I go take
00:23:14.30\00:23:17.91
a large box and we decorate it.
00:23:17.92\00:23:19.83
We put little
butterflies on it and flowers
00:23:19.84\00:23:21.73
and Bible verses, and we
take fruit and snacks and--
00:23:21.74\00:23:29.81
Now you just
take, take a big box.
00:23:29.82\00:23:31.80
Take a big box, cardboard box.
00:23:31.81\00:23:34.89
And you've fun
decorating it all over with.
00:23:34.90\00:23:36.14
And we decorate it.
00:23:36.15\00:23:37.86
You said that,
you'll put butterflies,
00:23:37.87\00:23:39.36
they're real butterflies? No.
00:23:39.37\00:23:40.86
No. What that?
Not real butterflies.
00:23:40.87\00:23:43.25
But we put little paper
butterflies that you can get
00:23:43.26\00:23:49.32
a little shade of
butterflies, a little shade
00:23:49.33\00:23:51.85
of sail boats, and cut them out,
00:23:51.86\00:23:55.55
and then we glue
them on to the box.
00:23:55.56\00:24:02.47
Oh well, that's pretty.
And then we take fruits.
00:24:02.48\00:24:07.00
And we'll take
snacks and all kinds--
00:24:07.01\00:24:14.23
You put juice boxes.
00:24:14.24\00:24:16.03
Juice boxes and
water bottles and crackers,
00:24:16.04\00:24:19.82
things like that in the
box and then we take it--
00:24:19.83\00:24:25.33
What do you do with it?
We take it to the hospital.
00:24:25.34\00:24:27.88
Now you take a
big box like this full
00:24:27.89\00:24:29.77
of all these goodies now.
00:24:29.78\00:24:30.96
What, why would you take
that to the hospital for?
00:24:30.97\00:24:32.77
What would you do?
00:24:32.78\00:24:34.39
We'll take it to the
waiting room where people
00:24:34.40\00:24:37.21
are waiting to see their
loved ones and then, where--
00:24:37.22\00:24:41.06
Like for the intensive
care unit or the surgical unit.
00:24:41.07\00:24:44.45
And then when you,
when you go in there,
00:24:44.46\00:24:46.53
now do the people
they get mad at you
00:24:46.54\00:24:47.86
when you come in
there with that box?
00:24:47.87\00:24:49.09
No. No, what do they do?
00:24:49.10\00:24:50.56
We give it to them and
we sing songs and we pray
00:24:50.57\00:24:54.58
with them and ask Jesus to
please heal their loved ones.
00:24:54.59\00:24:59.55
Oh, that... And--
00:24:59.56\00:25:02.00
I'm sure that makes
the people very happy.
00:25:02.01\00:25:04.30
Doesn't it? You
know, boys and girls,
00:25:04.31\00:25:06.69
when you are waiting for
a loved one in the hospital.
00:25:06.70\00:25:09.91
When you're in the
waiting room that can seem
00:25:09.92\00:25:11.56
like a long time because
you're very, very worried
00:25:11.57\00:25:15.26
about your, maybe it's
your mother, your father,
00:25:15.27\00:25:17.57
or friend, or you know
someone special and that
00:25:17.58\00:25:20.22
they're sick and
you're worried about them.
00:25:20.23\00:25:21.63
So you're in the
waiting room waiting to see
00:25:21.64\00:25:23.20
what's gonna happen
and how they're doing?
00:25:23.21\00:25:24.78
That's a wonderful
way to witness to them
00:25:24.79\00:25:26.59
because they
really, they need some
00:25:26.60\00:25:28.60
comfort at that
time, don't they?
00:25:28.61\00:25:30.07
So I'm sure that made
them feel very special.
00:25:30.08\00:25:33.30
All right now, let's read
00:25:33.31\00:25:34.31
a couple of
letters from the kids.
00:25:34.32\00:25:35.42
Can you open this
one for me, Emily?
00:25:35.43\00:25:36.91
And I'm really crazed
about this one from Thailand.
00:25:36.92\00:25:39.69
And this one says, "Dear Brenda,
00:25:39.70\00:25:42.73
"I really like
witnessing for God.
00:25:42.74\00:25:44.47
"And one day there was a
lady at school who didn't know
00:25:44.48\00:25:46.75
"Jesus and I
told her about Jesus.
00:25:46.76\00:25:48.82
"She wasn't
interested in being Christian,
00:25:48.83\00:25:50.34
but I'm still praying
for her. Love, Button."
00:25:50.35\00:25:53.16
P.S. Please send me a
Kids' Time Activity Book.
00:25:53.17\00:25:55.84
Button, I will
definitely send you a book,
00:25:55.85\00:25:58.19
and keep praying
for your friend, okay.
00:25:58.20\00:26:00.25
Do you have a
letter right there?
00:26:00.26\00:26:02.54
There we go. And, oh
look, we've a pretty picture
00:26:02.55\00:26:05.80
on this one it says,
"My name is Floretta,
00:26:05.81\00:26:08.68
"and I'm eight years
old and I make pictures
00:26:08.69\00:26:11.65
"to give to people and I
put Bible verses on them.
00:26:11.66\00:26:14.63
Love, Floretta."
Thank you, Floretta.
00:26:14.64\00:26:16.68
Isn't that a
pretty picture, Emily?
00:26:16.69\00:26:18.25
I really like that.
00:26:18.26\00:26:20.03
Well, Emily, I want to
thank you so much for joining me
00:26:20.04\00:26:22.58
today on Sharing Time
and also sharing your story
00:26:22.59\00:26:26.03
with the boys and girls.
00:26:26.04\00:26:27.14
I really loved having you here.
00:26:27.15\00:26:29.12
And boys and girls,
remember, wherever you go,
00:26:29.13\00:26:31.79
whatever you do, it's
Kids' Time to share Jesus.
00:26:31.80\00:26:36.28
