It's time to share,
00:00:03.20\00:00:04.85
there's a world out there,
00:00:04.90\00:00:06.72
looking for a friend like Jesus!
00:00:06.77\00:00:10.05
It's time to share,
00:00:10.10\00:00:11.65
there's a world out there,
00:00:11.70\00:00:13.42
let's tell them that
00:00:13.47\00:00:14.85
He loves us so!
00:00:14.90\00:00:16.75
Let's tell them that
00:00:16.80\00:00:18.05
He loves us so!

00:00:23.77\00:00:24.88
Hi boys and girls!
00:00:24.93\00:00:26.08
I feel a little foolish sitting
00:00:26.13\00:00:27.42
here with an umbrella over my
00:00:27.47\00:00:29.05
head when it isn't even raining!
00:00:29.10\00:00:32.18
Or... is it?
00:00:32.23\00:00:33.98
Oh it's not really raining!
00:00:34.03\00:00:36.05
I'm just teasing!
00:00:36.10\00:00:37.15
But it might rain!
00:00:37.20\00:00:38.17
If it does... I'll
be prepared, won't I?
00:00:38.18\00:00:40.95
I love to hear the
sound of the rain...
00:00:41.00\00:00:42.85
the soft swoosh. It's so
soothing, isn't it? It's so
00:00:42.90\00:00:47.62
peaceful! And I like
that consistent pounding of a
00:00:47.67\00:00:51.28
downpour! Boy that's exciting!!
00:00:51.33\00:00:52.30
But rain waters the earth and it
makes the grass and the gardens
00:00:52.31\00:00:57.42
grow! It's very
necessary, isn't it?
00:00:57.47\00:00:58.75
It cleans the air making it
fresh and healthful to breath.
00:00:58.80\00:01:02.25
And sometimes after the rain,
00:01:02.30\00:01:04.32
you can look at the sky
00:01:04.37\00:01:05.82
and do you know what you see?
00:01:05.87\00:01:07.98
That's right!
00:01:08.03\00:01:09.00
A beautiful rainbow!
00:01:09.01\00:01:10.42
But there's such a thing
as having too much rain...
00:01:10.47\00:01:12.92
...and when it rains and rains
and rains, the earth becomes
soaked and you know what?
00:01:12.97\00:01:19.82
It can't hold anymore water!
00:01:19.87\00:01:20.92
And the water flows over
the ground getting deeper and
00:01:20.97\00:01:24.98
deeper. And the rivers and the
streams, they start to overflow
their banks and then...
00:01:25.03\00:01:29.35
it turns the highways into
rivers and the fields into big
lakes and you know what?
00:01:29.40\00:01:35.62
Sometimes people even have to
move out of their homes to
escape the flood waters!!
00:01:35.67\00:01:40.95
Well today, you're going to hear
a story about a time when it
00:01:41.00\00:01:45.55
rained more than it has
ever rained before or since that
00:01:45.60\00:01:49.48
time. It rained and
it rained and it rained!
00:01:49.53\00:01:53.15
It rained so much that the flood
waters covered everything!!!
00:01:53.20\00:01:57.85
You know what? My little
umbrella here, it wouldn't have
helped me at all, would it?
00:01:57.90\00:02:02.38
But you'll find out more today
about the great flood in our
Bible story but first,
00:02:02.43\00:02:08.32
Ranger Jim is going to tell
us about the Great Blue Heron!
00:02:08.37\00:02:13.88
[Music]
00:02:13.93\00:02:20.12
Hi boys and girls!
00:02:20.17\00:02:21.14
Ranger Jim here saying,
"Welcome to Nature Time!"
00:02:21.15\00:02:22.92
We're glad that you can join us!
00:02:22.97\00:02:24.38
I have my friend
Debbie Cylke with us
00:02:24.43\00:02:25.82
and she has a friend that
she is going to tell us about.
00:02:25.87\00:02:28.28
Debbie what is this you have?
00:02:28.33\00:02:29.82
This is a Great Blue Heron.
00:02:29.87\00:02:31.35
If you notice his long beak;
He uses it to get his food with.
00:02:31.40\00:02:38.65
And he uses it
for something else!
00:02:38.70\00:02:40.48
I understand that
a lady was working...
00:02:40.53\00:02:42.28
-some lady that works
with birds, Debbie herself,
00:02:42.33\00:02:44.65
as she was setting his
wing because it was broken
00:02:44.70\00:02:47.02
and someone let go off
this bird and what happened?
00:02:47.07\00:02:49.95
Well when they let go...
00:02:50.00\00:02:51.45
-because he uses his beak
00:02:51.50\00:02:52.75
(it's real sharp)
to spear his food well,
00:02:52.80\00:02:56.25
that's also his
defense... so what happened
00:02:56.30\00:02:59.25
is when they let go and
I was wrapping his wing;
00:02:59.30\00:03:02.52
(we'll get to
that in a few minutes)
00:03:02.57\00:03:03.68
he stretched way out and
he came across my mouth...
00:03:03.73\00:03:09.15
And pow!!
00:03:09.20\00:03:10.17
...chipped the tooth and
it went right on through!
00:03:10.18\00:03:12.75
So that's how much
power they have! Well
00:03:12.80\00:03:14.42
this is the Great Blue Heron
boys and girls and they are a
wonderful creature!
00:03:14.47\00:03:19.02
They have been known to live as
long as 29 years; That's not the
00:03:19.07\00:03:23.08
average. Out in the wild,
probably 12 to 14 years and that
00:03:23.13\00:03:27.55
would be it. There is a terrible
mortality rate in the first year
00:03:27.60\00:03:31.52
of their life. About 70% of all
Blue Herons perish in their
first year of their life.
00:03:31.57\00:03:36.05
If you could come to Florida
sometimes and Ranger Jim could
put you on the boat
00:03:36.10\00:03:39.18
and Debbie come sometimes; I'd
like to take you there and take
00:03:39.23\00:03:43.05
you to a rookery where these
creatures live. They like to
have a community of nests.
00:03:43.10\00:03:46.22
I know one place where there are
165 Great Blue Heron nests last
00:03:46.27\00:03:52.38
year! Wow!
00:03:52.43\00:03:53.40
And these babies all
squawking... you can't...
00:03:53.41\00:03:54.38
(when you get in the middle
of it) you can't even talk!
00:03:54.43\00:03:56.45
You have to shout because Blue
Herons have two or three babies
00:03:56.50\00:04:00.82
in every nest! Wow!
00:04:00.87\00:04:01.84
Boys and girls these babies are
up and when mother comes back...
00:04:01.85\00:04:03.95
they are begging
for food and you see...
00:04:04.00\00:04:05.58
she doesn't have a hand
or she doesn't have a basket
00:04:05.63\00:04:08.12
to bring food
from the supermarket!
00:04:08.17\00:04:09.75
She brings it from
inside of her body!
00:04:09.80\00:04:11.52
And the babies are begging and
they stick their little bills
00:04:11.57\00:04:14.45
inside this big
bill and start begging.
00:04:14.50\00:04:16.38
In fact they go all the way 'til
their heads are almost stuck in
00:04:16.43\00:04:20.65
there!! Wow!
00:04:20.70\00:04:21.67
They eat the food that
the mother regurgitates up
00:04:21.68\00:04:22.82
(Now that's a little repugnant
to us). But that's the way they
00:04:22.87\00:04:25.68
do it! And then when one baby
gets all it can hold and she
00:04:25.73\00:04:29.32
feeds the other. There is a
great commotion going on all the
00:04:29.37\00:04:32.92
time! Back and
forth and back and forth.
00:04:32.97\00:04:34.48
I have an experience on
handling one of these too!
00:04:34.53\00:04:36.75
I was going down a
canal fishing one morning
00:04:36.80\00:04:38.42
and a man waved to me
from his dock and he said,
00:04:38.47\00:04:41.08
"Can you help me?
Something has my fishing line
00:04:41.13\00:04:43.58
and it's down in the trees
and I can't find what it is!"
00:04:43.63\00:04:46.15
I started looking and
sure enough it was a Great Blue
00:04:46.20\00:04:49.88
Heron! This man was fishing
with a minnow about this long
00:04:49.93\00:04:52.02
and the minnow was swimming up
towards the surface... the Great
Blue Heron saw it...
00:04:52.07\00:04:55.92
...and he flew down and grabbed
this minnow about this long!
00:04:55.97\00:04:59.88
But unfortunately,
it had a hook in it!
00:04:59.93\00:05:01.52
He caught the Blue Heron right
here on the side of its mouth!
00:05:01.57\00:05:04.62
And so I eased my boat over very
carefully and I talked to the
00:05:04.67\00:05:10.18
Heron and he was exhausted from
fighting and I picked him up
00:05:10.23\00:05:12.02
gently... put him between my
knees and pinned his (because I
know if that's a weapon also)
00:05:12.07\00:05:17.68
Yes!
00:05:17.73\00:05:18.70
When I took the hook out of his
jaw and I thought he would say
00:05:18.71\00:05:20.75
"Thank you!", but he didn't
because many people refer to
00:05:20.80\00:05:24.35
this guy as the cranky
Heron. Because Mr. Blue Heron is
00:05:24.40\00:05:27.95
solitary. He likes to feed in
his own area and he would defend
00:05:28.00\00:05:30.95
his property. Boys and girls he
would chase off any other Heron
that would come near him.
00:05:31.00\00:05:34.98
But if you disturb him...
00:05:35.03\00:05:36.15
(I don't know if the microphone
will take this or not)
00:05:36.20\00:05:39.25
...but he makes
the sound like this...
00:05:39.30\00:05:41.18
[squawling like a heron]
00:05:41.23\00:05:42.92
[laughing]
00:05:42.97\00:05:43.94
And then he flys off complaining
as far as you can see him!
00:05:43.95\00:05:46.42
And at night if he is roosting
around near where you are
00:05:46.47\00:05:49.55
sleeping... and someone disturbs
him... a raccoon comes by...
00:05:49.60\00:05:51.92
...you'd hear him
down there complaining!
00:05:51.97\00:05:53.48
[squawling like a heron]
00:05:53.53\00:05:54.55
He goes off complaining
down through the woods.
00:05:54.60\00:05:56.78
So he is a beautiful creature.
How many eggs did you say they
00:05:56.83\00:06:02.65
normally will lay? Actually
they would normally lay three to
00:06:02.70\00:06:05.88
five. I see.
00:06:05.93\00:06:06.90
And their food the mother
actually goes hunting for their
00:06:06.91\00:06:16.52
babies Debbie could we turn him
so the boys and girls could see
00:06:16.57\00:06:18.68
the wing that was
injured that you repaired?
00:06:18.73\00:06:21.55
Sure!
00:06:21.60\00:06:22.57
Alright! It's doing quite well!
00:06:22.58\00:06:23.55
Yes. What happened is that the
bird came in injured and it had
00:06:23.56\00:06:28.08
a broken wing... and we tried to
do the figure 8 and tried to get
00:06:28.13\00:06:33.95
as lined up as best as we
can and hopefully in the end be
00:06:34.00\00:06:37.58
released! Wonderful! Wonderful!
00:06:37.63\00:06:38.68
A beautiful
creature boys and girls!
00:06:38.73\00:06:40.92
God makes some
wonderful things, doesn't He?
00:06:40.97\00:06:42.72
I just thrill when I see them!
00:06:42.77\00:06:44.55
And I'm looking forward
to when that day comes...
00:06:44.60\00:06:46.15
when we can have these
beautiful creatures with us!
00:06:46.20\00:06:48.02
Debbie do you think it's going
to be a wonderful time to be in
00:06:48.07\00:06:50.92
the new earth? Oh
it will be wonderful!
00:06:50.97\00:06:51.94
They won't be afraid of us
and we won't have to hang on to
00:06:51.95\00:06:53.82
them. Boys and girls, we
appreciate so much Debbie for
coming in and talking to us
00:06:53.87\00:06:58.62
today! So Ranger
Jim as always saying;
00:06:58.67\00:06:59.85
Don't forget to tell
Jesus that you love Him because
00:06:59.90\00:07:02.82
boys and girls He
really does love you!
00:07:02.87\00:07:06.98
[Music]
00:07:07.03\00:07:12.72
Hello boys and girls!
00:07:12.77\00:07:13.82
How are people going to
know that we are Christians?
00:07:13.87\00:07:17.22
Is it just because we
tell them that we are?
00:07:17.27\00:07:18.88
Rachel found the answer to
that question in the Bible!
00:07:18.93\00:07:22.15
"By this shall all men know
00:07:22.20\00:07:23.75
that you are His disciples;
00:07:23.80\00:07:25.45
If you love one another.
00:07:25.50\00:07:27.22
John 13:35"
00:07:27.27\00:07:29.08
So they'll know we are
Christians by our love...
00:07:29.13\00:07:33.38
[piano playing]
00:07:33.43\00:07:43.52
We are one in the spirit.
00:07:43.57\00:07:46.28
We are one in the Lord.
00:07:46.33\00:07:49.02
We are one in the spirit.
00:07:49.07\00:07:51.78
We are one in the Lord.
00:07:51.83\00:07:53.95
And we pray that our
unity may some day be restored.
00:07:54.00\00:07:59.75
And they'll know
we are Christians
00:07:59.80\00:08:02.48
by our love, by our love!
00:08:02.53\00:08:05.02
Yes they'll know we
are Christians by our love.
00:08:05.07\00:08:17.78
We will work with each other.
00:08:17.83\00:08:20.62
We will work side-by-side.
00:08:20.67\00:08:23.05
We will work with each other.
00:08:23.10\00:08:25.88
We will work side-by-side.
00:08:25.93\00:08:28.18
And we'll guard
each man's dignity
00:08:28.23\00:08:31.42
and save each man's pride.
00:08:31.47\00:08:33.45
And they'll know
we are Christians
00:08:33.50\00:08:37.22
by our love, by our love!
00:08:37.27\00:08:38.68
yes they'll know we
are Christians by our love.
00:08:38.73\00:08:51.62
[music]
00:08:51.67\00:09:24.58
We are one in the spirit.
00:09:24.63\00:09:27.42
We are one in the Lord.
00:09:27.47\00:09:29.88
We are one in the spirit.
00:09:29.93\00:09:32.62
We are one in the Lord.
00:09:32.67\00:09:34.62
And we pray that our
unity may some day be restored.
00:09:34.67\00:09:40.15
And they'll know
we are Christians
00:09:40.20\00:09:43.05
by our love, by the our love!
00:09:43.10\00:09:45.28
Yes they'll know we
are Christians by our love.

00:10:09.03\00:10:12.25
Every day with Jesus,
00:10:12.30\00:10:15.55
is sweeter and the day before!
00:10:15.60\00:10:20.62
Every day with Jesus,
00:10:20.67\00:10:23.85
I love Him more and more!
00:10:23.90\00:10:28.25
Jesus saves and keeps me.
00:10:28.30\00:10:31.62
And He's the
one I'm waiting for.
00:10:31.67\00:10:36.22
Every day with Jesus
00:10:36.27\00:10:39.12
is sweeter then the day before.
00:10:39.17\00:10:44.38
Every day with Jesus,
00:10:44.43\00:10:47.92
is sweeter and the day before!
00:10:47.97\00:10:52.62
Every day with Jesus,
00:10:52.67\00:10:56.08
I love Him more and more!
00:10:56.13\00:11:00.48
Jesus saves and keeps me.
00:11:00.53\00:11:03.95
And He's the
one I'm waiting for.
00:11:04.00\00:11:08.58
Every day at with Jesus,
00:11:08.63\00:11:12.38
is sweeter then the day,
00:11:12.43\00:11:15.05
yes sweeter then the day,
00:11:15.10\00:11:17.78
yes sweeter then the day before!
00:11:17.83\00:11:28.72
[music]
00:11:28.77\00:11:34.12
When I see the beautiful rainbow
it reminds me of the greatest
adventure in my life!
00:11:34.17\00:11:42.35
I'm Noah.
00:11:42.40\00:11:43.37
And I'd love to tell
you about this adventure.
00:11:43.38\00:11:45.62
Back in the beginning when
God created a perfect earth;
00:11:45.67\00:11:50.65
It was beautiful...
00:11:50.70\00:11:51.92
Warm...
00:11:51.97\00:11:52.94
Loving...
00:11:52.95\00:11:54.32
Kindness could be
seen and felt everywhere!
00:11:54.37\00:11:57.55
Then sin came in because
Adam and Eve disobeyed God
00:11:57.60\00:12:02.25
and with sin, people became
selfish and self-centered.
00:12:02.30\00:12:07.92
They wanted
things for themselves.
00:12:07.97\00:12:09.08
They even destroyed and killed
people so they can get these
00:12:09.13\00:12:15.22
things! This made God very sad!
00:12:15.27\00:12:17.72
And God decided He must do
something about this hurting of
00:12:17.77\00:12:22.52
others. And so every living
thing on this earth must be
00:12:22.57\00:12:29.55
destroyed. But you know, He
decided to destroy it with a
00:12:29.60\00:12:35.12
flood. I was so
happy because God told me,
00:12:35.17\00:12:37.78
"Noah, I want you to
build this large boat, an ark,
00:12:37.83\00:12:45.78
because I want you
to save your family
00:12:45.83\00:12:47.95
and the animals and all those
who would love to come in to
00:12:48.00\00:12:54.58
that ark. Well, it was the big
boat and God gave us detailed
00:12:54.63\00:13:00.42
instructions. It
was 450 feet long.
00:13:00.47\00:13:05.78
It was real high!
00:13:05.83\00:13:07.85
It had a massive
door on its side.
00:13:07.90\00:13:10.35
A window way up on the top!
00:13:10.40\00:13:11.37
And you know in this ark, there
were three different levels or
00:13:11.38\00:13:18.18
decks. And on these
decks, were built rooms.
00:13:18.23\00:13:21.68
He wanted us to build
large rooms for elephants.
00:13:21.73\00:13:24.82
Smaller rooms for horses.
00:13:24.87\00:13:26.58
You know even little
rooms for bunny rabbits.
00:13:26.63\00:13:30.65
And the birds-
each one had a room!
00:13:30.70\00:13:33.52
Then God said, "Noah, these
animals and you are going to
00:13:33.57\00:13:40.15
have to eat. And so I want you
to build store rooms where you
00:13:40.20\00:13:43.82
can put all the feed that you'll
need for a very long time."
00:13:43.87\00:13:49.22
We began to build that ark.
00:13:49.27\00:13:51.32
And you know, as we began to
build; It took us a long time!
00:13:51.37\00:13:57.62
It took us 120 years!
00:13:57.67\00:14:00.88
While we were building on this
ark, the people would come and
00:14:00.93\00:14:06.55
watch us. We would tell the
people God was going to destroy
00:14:06.60\00:14:11.85
every living thing on
this earth with a flood.
00:14:11.90\00:14:17.88
If they would change their
ways and come in to the ark they
00:14:17.93\00:14:23.72
would be saved! But you
know, they only laughed at us!
00:14:23.77\00:14:26.12
They treated us very unkindly!
00:14:26.17\00:14:29.55
I guess, I guess they
really didn't believe God.
00:14:29.60\00:14:34.02
That God would destroy
this earth with a flood.
00:14:34.07\00:14:36.95
For you see, they had
never seen water before!
00:14:37.00\00:14:40.28
And they had never seen water
coming up out of the earth.
00:14:40.33\00:14:44.42
So where was the
water going to come from?
00:14:44.47\00:14:46.02
It was hard for
them to believe it!
00:14:46.07\00:14:48.68
Well, the day did come
when we finished up the ark.
00:14:48.73\00:14:54.15
Then God caused
something miraculous take place!
00:14:54.20\00:14:57.65
The animals came!
00:14:57.70\00:14:58.67
These creatures... two by two...
male and female to the ark!
00:14:58.68\00:15:02.92
We put them in
their separate rooms.
00:15:02.97\00:15:06.72
Oh it was a wonderful time!
00:15:06.77\00:15:08.15
And God said, "Noah, I
want you to take your three sons
00:15:08.20\00:15:11.08
and their wives and
your wife go in to the ark.
00:15:11.13\00:15:15.35
And we did. Then He
shut that massive door!
00:15:15.40\00:15:18.08
And it sealed right tight shut!
No water or nobody else could
00:15:18.13\00:15:25.05
get in there!
Well... it did rain!
00:15:25.10\00:15:28.15
God caused the sounds of the
great deep to open up and water
gushed up out of the earth!
00:15:28.20\00:15:37.18
And then, He caused the
floodgates of heaven to open!
00:15:37.23\00:15:43.55
And water came down from
the sky... bringing torrents!
00:15:43.60\00:15:47.98
And you know, after 40 days and
40 nights the whole earth was
covered with water...
00:15:48.03\00:15:55.12
...20 feet over the highest
mountains! It was a longtime.
00:15:55.17\00:16:01.42
The water was on
this earth 150 days!
00:16:01.47\00:16:03.85
And then God caused the wind
to begin to dry up the waters.
00:16:03.90\00:16:10.58
Well, while we were in that
ark we waited and we fed animals
00:16:10.63\00:16:16.55
and we got well
acquainted with them!
00:16:16.60\00:16:19.18
And then we waited some more.
00:16:19.23\00:16:21.25
And then I got anxious and I was
beginning to look and wonder...
00:16:21.30\00:16:25.25
Is the earth dry outside? And
when I looked and I couldn't see
00:16:25.30\00:16:31.42
anything; I got one of
the ravens and put it out the
00:16:31.47\00:16:34.15
window. And that raven flew back
and forth. Well, it couldn't
find any place to sit!
00:16:34.20\00:16:40.72
So I put a dove out. You know,
this dove flew out and he too
could not find any place to sit.
00:16:40.77\00:16:48.65
And so he came back to us and we
brought him back into the ark.
00:16:48.70\00:16:53.65
Well we waited a whole week and
sent him out again. Well, he
stayed out all day!
00:16:53.70\00:16:58.78
When he stayed out all day; That
evening he brought back a fresh
00:16:58.83\00:17:07.88
olive leaf to us. Oh! It was a
welcome sight!! We knew then
that green things were growing
00:17:07.93\00:17:14.28
on the earth. Well we waited
some more. We sent out (after
another week), we sent out this
00:17:14.33\00:17:20.42
dove again. This time he never
returned to us. After a while,
God opened up that great big
00:17:20.47\00:17:33.02
door and when he opened it up we
turned all of the animals loose!
00:17:33.07\00:17:37.48
And they went out
and then we went out!
00:17:37.53\00:17:40.82
Oh! It was just so good
to walk on the earth again!
00:17:40.87\00:17:44.22
To breath that
fresh air and be outside!
00:17:44.27\00:17:46.15
You know, we had spent a whole
year in that ark and that's a
00:17:46.20\00:17:54.82
long time! Well, God did
a wonderful thing then...
00:17:54.87\00:17:59.42
He told us that He would never
destroy the earth again with a
00:17:59.47\00:18:06.98
flood! He said; I am going to
give you a sign so you'll know.
00:18:07.03\00:18:10.98
And so He put up
beautiful bow in the cloud.
00:18:11.03\00:18:15.88
Now, whenever we see that
beautiful rainbow; Let's ask God
to help us to obey Him!
00:18:15.93\00:18:28.52
So that we can be in
that beautiful place called
00:18:28.57\00:18:35.12
Heaven and spend time
with our lovely Savior.
00:18:35.17\00:18:43.22

00:18:49.67\00:18:56.45
No matter how
tight the spot you're in,
00:18:56.50\00:19:00.02
here's what you should do,
00:19:00.07\00:19:03.08
put your best foot forward
00:19:03.13\00:19:05.68
and God will see you through.
00:19:05.73\00:19:09.18

00:19:26.67\00:19:29.12
Just take a step of faith.
00:19:29.17\00:19:32.98
Though the night
is black as coal,
00:19:33.03\00:19:39.35
God is still God and
He is still in control.
00:19:39.40\00:19:45.45
Things that you can't see
00:19:45.50\00:19:50.38
are known to God.
They're as plain as can be!
00:19:50.43\00:19:59.82
Take a step of faith

00:20:18.90\00:20:22.88
When your
strength is almost gone,
00:20:22.93\00:20:29.08
He'll pick you
up and carry you on.
00:20:29.13\00:20:34.58
Just call out His name.
00:20:34.63\00:20:40.05
Today, forever,
He is still the same.
00:20:40.10\00:20:49.12
Take a step of faith.
00:20:49.17\00:20:51.78
Take a step of faith.
00:20:51.83\00:20:53.98

[music]
00:21:15.67\00:21:22.08
Thank you Emily for
that beautiful song;
00:21:22.13\00:21:24.15
"Step of Faith" I liked
it boys and girls did you?
00:21:24.20\00:21:26.95
Well right now is Mailbox
Time and I'm going to check
00:21:27.00\00:21:30.12
the mailbox to see
if I have any mail!
00:21:30.17\00:21:32.08
Maybe one from you... And you
know what? I do have some mail!
00:21:32.13\00:21:37.05
Lots of letters today!
00:21:37.10\00:21:38.12
Oh I love hearing letters
from you boys and girls...
00:21:38.17\00:21:40.58
and hearing about
the ways you show Jesus!
00:21:40.63\00:21:43.82
But right now before I
get to read these letters,
00:21:43.87\00:21:46.05
I want you to meet a
very special friend of mine.
00:21:46.10\00:21:48.38
I've asked
Matthew to join me today.
00:21:48.43\00:21:51.12
Hi Matthew!
00:21:51.17\00:21:52.14
Hello!
00:21:52.15\00:21:53.12
Thank you for joining me on Kids
Time and on Sharing Time today!
00:21:53.13\00:21:55.42
I'm really excited to be here!
00:21:55.47\00:21:56.62
Well, I'm excited too! Matthew
is all the way from Knoxville
00:21:56.67\00:22:00.65
Tennessee. And Matthew you
stepped out in faith by sharing
Jesus with one of your
00:22:00.70\00:22:07.12
friends... Can you tell
me a little bit about that?
00:22:07.17\00:22:08.88
Well, sure I can do that!
00:22:08.93\00:22:13.42
Well, I went to visit
my grandma last year to...
00:22:13.47\00:22:17.85
and I picked up my friend...
00:22:17.90\00:22:21.08
and we had a good
time at my grandma's house.
00:22:21.13\00:22:23.88
Now, where does
your grandma live?
00:22:23.93\00:22:26.42
She lives in Apopka Florida.
00:22:26.47\00:22:28.12
Oh I bet you miss her allot!
00:22:28.17\00:22:29.38
Yeah. I miss her allot!
00:22:29.43\00:22:31.25
It sounds like
you love your grandma!
00:22:31.30\00:22:35.15
I love my grandma!
00:22:35.20\00:22:36.17
Yes. And so you met some boys
down there, you said, and some
00:22:36.18\00:22:39.42
friends when you were at your
grandma's house and you had a
00:22:39.47\00:22:40.75
good time. Yeah!
00:22:40.80\00:22:41.77
Now, were they doing something
that you didn't think they
should be doing though?
00:22:41.78\00:22:43.58
Yes.
00:22:43.63\00:22:44.60
What was that?
00:22:44.61\00:22:45.58
They were saying bad
words and curse words.
00:22:45.59\00:22:46.56
That make Jesus very sad when
we say curse words, doesn't it?
00:22:46.57\00:22:50.68
Yeah.
00:22:50.73\00:22:51.70
So, what did you do when
they were saying these words?
00:22:51.71\00:22:52.68
I told them to stop and that if
they didn't stop doing all the
00:22:52.69\00:22:56.08
bad words and bad things
they wouldn't go to heaven.
00:22:56.13\00:22:59.92
What did they say
when you said that?
00:22:59.97\00:23:01.58
They said we never
thought of that before!
00:23:01.63\00:23:04.75
So they probably just always
said bad words and never thought
00:23:04.80\00:23:08.78
of it! Yes.
00:23:08.83\00:23:09.80
So, did they ask you
to do something then?
00:23:09.81\00:23:12.25
Yeah. They asked
me to pray for them.
00:23:12.30\00:23:15.55
And did you?
00:23:15.60\00:23:16.57
Yes. I said, "We'll pray for you
before we go to bed tonight."
00:23:16.58\00:23:20.52
And did you pray for them?
00:23:20.57\00:23:22.18
Yes. We really did!
00:23:22.23\00:23:23.20
Oh, now did he ever
say bad words after that?
00:23:23.21\00:23:26.42
NO.
00:23:26.47\00:23:27.44
Around you?
00:23:27.45\00:23:28.42
No. Never!
00:23:28.43\00:23:29.40
So you really witnessed
to him and you shared Jesus
00:23:29.41\00:23:31.38
in a very special way,
didn't he boys and girls?
00:23:31.43\00:23:33.52
I'm really excited about that
you know, because when we say
00:23:33.57\00:23:36.78
bad words, it makes
Jesus very sad, doesn't it?
00:23:36.83\00:23:40.32
Yes.
00:23:40.37\00:23:41.34
Well you know, right
now I would like to read
00:23:41.35\00:23:42.32
some letters from the boys and
girls. I was just getting ready
00:23:42.33\00:23:44.32
to. Do you want to help me?
00:23:44.37\00:23:46.32
Sure!
00:23:46.37\00:23:47.34
Okay. This letter right here...
00:23:47.35\00:23:48.32
Why don't you open
that one and read that one?
00:23:48.33\00:23:49.68
And while you are doing that...
00:23:49.73\00:23:51.55
I'm going to open
this big envelope here.
00:23:51.60\00:23:53.75
I'm kind of curious about...
00:23:53.80\00:23:56.62
This one... Oh look!
00:23:56.67\00:23:59.48
This one is from Becky
and she has sent a picture
00:23:59.53\00:24:03.78
of a bird that she's
colored. And she says,
00:24:03.83\00:24:05.28
"Dear Brenda, my name is
Becky and I'm 6 years old.
00:24:05.33\00:24:08.45
I share Jesus at school with
my friends Alisha and Karla,
00:24:08.50\00:24:12.65
and I would love to be on
Kids Time and I sing songs for
00:24:12.70\00:24:18.68
Jesus." Wasn't that a nice
letter! I really enjoyed that!
00:24:18.73\00:24:20.88
Now you have one from
Isaac from the Cayman Islands;
00:24:20.93\00:24:23.68
Matthew can you read that
from Isaac? What does he say?
00:24:23.73\00:24:27.15
He says,
00:24:27.20\00:24:28.17
"Dear Brenda, I share Jesus
by being good and listening in
00:24:28.18\00:24:32.05
Sabbath school and share with
the other kids. I enjoy Kids
00:24:32.10\00:24:36.42
Time. Isaac" Oh! Isn't that
beautiful? A little picture
Isaac drew with the sailboat on
00:24:36.47\00:24:41.82
the water? Thank you very much!
I enjoyed that letter. Oh that
was really special.
00:24:41.87\00:24:46.62
Well, I've got one here from
Vanessa from Florida and she
00:24:46.67\00:24:52.42
says to me; "Dear Brenda, my
name is Vanessa and I had, was
00:24:52.47\00:24:57.02
with a friend, and we went to
P.E. and she got hurt when the
00:24:57.07\00:25:01.62
coach said to the boys to
go to the refreshment area.
00:25:01.67\00:25:06.45
The boys ran over her
and she started to cry.
