It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:03.33\00:00:07.06
Looking for a friend like Jesus
00:00:07.07\00:00:10.09
It's time to share
there's a world out there
00:00:10.10\00:00:13.44
Let's tell them
that He loves us so
00:00:13.45\00:00:16.91
Let's tell them
that He loves us so
00:00:16.92\00:00:20.30
Kids' time,
kids' time kids' time
00:00:20.31\00:00:24.54
Hi, boys and girls,
do you know what this is?
00:00:24.55\00:00:27.89
Oh, I think it
probably looks like something
00:00:27.90\00:00:30.22
that you're
familiar with, like a hammer.
00:00:30.23\00:00:33.32
This one's actually a mallet.
00:00:33.33\00:00:35.16
And do you know,
what a hammer is used for.
00:00:35.17\00:00:38.69
Yes, it's used to drive nails.
00:00:38.70\00:00:40.74
But do you know
in the Bible times
00:00:40.75\00:00:42.22
they didn't have
the kind of hammers
00:00:42.23\00:00:44.22
and nails that
we're using today.
00:00:44.23\00:00:46.70
In the Bible times they
had a different kind of nail
00:00:46.71\00:00:49.12
so they would have used
a hammer with more of this,
00:00:49.13\00:00:51.72
kind of a flat heavy look to it.
00:00:51.73\00:00:54.52
So it would have been
just a little bit different.
00:00:54.53\00:00:56.87
And you know when a
carpenter builds a house
00:00:56.88\00:00:58.99
he does lots of hammering.
00:00:59.00\00:01:00.81
He measures and
he lays the board
00:01:00.82\00:01:03.19
at just the right
lengths and he measures again,
00:01:03.20\00:01:06.13
and then he pounds
the nail into the wood
00:01:06.14\00:01:08.60
to make sure it stays
right where it should stay.
00:01:08.61\00:01:11.57
And when he is
finished, do you know what,
00:01:11.58\00:01:13.83
that house will be
straight and strong.
00:01:13.84\00:01:17.50
Now the carpenter
might make something
00:01:17.51\00:01:19.19
much smaller than a
house like maybe a toy chest
00:01:19.20\00:01:21.96
or--like in your
room, or a table,
00:01:21.97\00:01:24.27
like your kitchen table
but he still uses that hammer
00:01:24.28\00:01:28.12
to help build it exactly right.
00:01:28.13\00:01:31.10
You know, today's Bible story
00:01:31.11\00:01:32.72
tells us of a woman who
put a hammer to good use.
00:01:32.73\00:01:35.84
That's right, a hammer.
00:01:35.85\00:01:37.48
She probably didn't
use the hammer herself,
00:01:37.49\00:01:39.80
since she was
used to hiring people
00:01:39.81\00:01:41.69
to do this kind of work for her.
00:01:41.70\00:01:43.79
But she had a wonderful
00:01:43.80\00:01:45.97
and a very
unselfish idea one day
00:01:45.98\00:01:49.33
and to make that idea a reality
00:01:49.34\00:01:51.41
she needed to find a carpenter.
00:01:51.42\00:01:54.40
Now what do you think
that woman had in mind.
00:01:54.41\00:01:57.12
She already had a
beautiful lovely home
00:01:57.13\00:01:59.69
for herself and her husband.
00:01:59.70\00:02:01.60
So she didn't
need a house, did she?
00:02:01.61\00:02:03.86
And she didn't
have any children,
00:02:03.87\00:02:05.94
so she didn't need a toy chest.
00:02:05.95\00:02:08.36
She had
furniture for every room.
00:02:08.37\00:02:11.00
So why did she need a carpenter?
00:02:11.01\00:02:14.03
You know what, as you
listen to our story today
00:02:14.04\00:02:16.76
you're going to find out.
00:02:16.77\00:02:18.54
And why don't you also
think of what you can do
00:02:18.55\00:02:22.25
to make somebody
else happy, okay.
00:02:22.26\00:02:25.72
Right now Ranger Jim is going
to show us a great horned owl.
00:02:25.73\00:02:31.02
Hi, boys and girls,
Ranger Jim here saying,
00:02:38.02\00:02:40.04
welcome to Nature Time.
00:02:40.05\00:02:41.10
Look what I have today.
00:02:41.11\00:02:42.70
Isn't this a beautiful creature?
00:02:42.71\00:02:44.41
You know what this is?
This is the great horned owl.
00:02:44.42\00:02:47.94
One of the most fierce
predators that God made.
00:02:47.95\00:02:50.72
We have in North
America our largest owl.
00:02:50.73\00:02:53.58
This creature is
just a magnificent.
00:02:53.59\00:02:57.15
I tell her-- her name is Phyllis
00:02:57.16\00:02:58.79
and if I didn't have a wife
00:02:58.80\00:03:00.05
I would be
tempted to propose to you.
00:03:00.06\00:03:02.21
You are a lovely lady.
00:03:02.22\00:03:03.78
These creatures, boys and girls,
00:03:03.79\00:03:05.15
thrilled me from the
time I was a small boy.
00:03:05.16\00:03:07.27
My greatest joy was to go
with my uncle and my father
00:03:07.28\00:03:11.84
and we would camp up for
three or four days on the lake.
00:03:11.85\00:03:14.89
And it would be off
down in the river bottom,
00:03:14.90\00:03:17.13
far from home and we
would put out setlines
00:03:17.14\00:03:19.38
and nets in the river
and at night we would sleep.
00:03:19.39\00:03:21.97
We would just take
our blankets and a pillow
00:03:21.98\00:03:25.36
and we would curl up
and sleep on the ground.
00:03:25.37\00:03:27.44
At about 2
O'clock in the morning
00:03:27.45\00:03:28.77
I would hear that
familiar, hu, hu, hu, hu
00:03:28.78\00:03:32.15
and my hair would
stand up for just a minute
00:03:32.16\00:03:34.08
that I would sit bolt right
up in bed and look all around.
00:03:34.09\00:03:37.13
And down further in the
bottom I would somebody saying,
00:03:37.14\00:03:39.96
ho, ho, ho, ho, then
this one, hu, hu, hu.
00:03:39.97\00:03:44.43
And they would
talk back and forth.
00:03:44.44\00:03:46.31
Oh, it excited me.
00:03:46.32\00:03:47.50
So I dreamed of the day
00:03:47.51\00:03:49.23
that I can ever see
one of these creatures,
00:03:49.24\00:03:51.50
and to stand and hold one.
00:03:51.51\00:03:52.77
Oh, what a joyful time
it is for Ranger Jim to see
00:03:52.78\00:03:55.75
and enjoy this creature.
00:03:55.76\00:03:56.85
Boys and girls,
when we get to heaven,
00:03:56.86\00:03:58.58
everyone one of you
gonna be able to hold
00:03:58.59\00:04:01.23
a beautiful creature like this.
00:04:01.24\00:04:02.48
Phyllis, you're supposed to
turn and look at the camera.
00:04:02.49\00:04:04.25
Okay, what a
beautiful creature you are.
00:04:04.26\00:04:06.91
They are
unusual, boys and girls.
00:04:06.92\00:04:08.71
As I said before
they are a predator.
00:04:08.72\00:04:11.24
And let me caution
you, because this bird,
00:04:11.25\00:04:13.54
weighing about 5 or 6
pounds at its largest size
00:04:13.55\00:04:16.57
is perfectly
capable of sweeping down
00:04:16.58\00:04:18.65
and picking up raccoons.
00:04:18.66\00:04:20.76
They will catch and eat cats.
00:04:20.77\00:04:22.87
One of the few
creators we have in nature
00:04:22.88\00:04:25.15
that will catch a
domestic cat and eat it.
00:04:25.16\00:04:27.35
So do not let your cat
out and let it run around
00:04:27.36\00:04:30.09
and play especially
in the spring of the year
00:04:30.10\00:04:32.19
because I promise you
if Mr. Great Horned Owl
00:04:32.20\00:04:36.32
has babies in the nest,
he'll be prowling at night,
00:04:36.33\00:04:39.02
he will sweep down
and catch your cat.
00:04:39.03\00:04:40.85
Do not let your
cat run wild at night.
00:04:40.86\00:04:43.33
The owl eats his prey whole.
00:04:43.34\00:04:45.46
He tears it into large
chunks and swallows it.
00:04:45.47\00:04:48.40
His body devours
the flesh of that.
00:04:48.41\00:04:51.09
And then the bones and the hair
00:04:51.10\00:04:52.61
and the remains he
regurgitates in pellets.
00:04:52.62\00:04:56.23
You can find them
under a roost site
00:04:56.24\00:04:57.68
where the owl
lives and that's the way
00:04:57.69\00:05:00.35
we determine what the owl eats.
00:05:00.36\00:05:02.66
We find the skeletons
and the bones that remain
00:05:02.67\00:05:05.15
from the creatures
and we can determine
00:05:05.16\00:05:06.71
how much of it is barn yard.
00:05:06.72\00:05:09.46
The farmers'
enemy in the early days
00:05:09.47\00:05:11.66
was that of the great horned owl
00:05:11.67\00:05:12.98
because he likes
chicken as well, okay.
00:05:12.99\00:05:15.18
So he would sweep down
and catch the chickens.
00:05:15.19\00:05:17.63
But the great horned owl
00:05:17.64\00:05:18.95
is the earliest
nester that we have.
00:05:18.96\00:05:21.82
He normally starts nesting
or his wife starts nesting
00:05:21.83\00:05:24.97
about the middle of
January to the middle February.
00:05:24.98\00:05:27.43
And I was correct
when I first said that,
00:05:27.44\00:05:29.62
he sometimes does share
00:05:29.63\00:05:31.37
the incubating
duties with his wife.
00:05:31.38\00:05:33.52
While his wife is sitting there
00:05:33.53\00:05:34.68
and I have seen him sitting
in an old dead tree on the nest
00:05:34.69\00:05:37.40
with snow covering them,
00:05:37.41\00:05:38.61
you could just barely
see her head sticking up.
00:05:38.62\00:05:40.84
She's sitting on her eggs
or babies protecting them.
00:05:40.85\00:05:43.67
Her husband comes
up, he brings her a mouse
00:05:43.68\00:05:45.49
or brings her a rat or
brings her something to eat.
00:05:45.50\00:05:47.64
She says, thank you
very much and has her supper.
00:05:47.65\00:05:50.02
Stays there on her
babies to keep them warm
00:05:50.03\00:05:52.26
that he brings
food to feed the babies.
00:05:52.27\00:05:54.56
So they shared
the duties as parents
00:05:54.57\00:05:57.53
and these
creatures do mate for life.
00:05:57.54\00:05:59.92
They are
wonderful to have around.
00:05:59.93\00:06:03.02
They control the rat population,
00:06:03.03\00:06:05.78
the mouse population.
00:06:05.79\00:06:07.16
And as you can see, I was hoping
00:06:07.17\00:06:08.50
she would turn her head
all the way around like this.
00:06:08.51\00:06:10.86
She can turn it
around about 270 degrees.
00:06:10.87\00:06:14.42
Now that's really coming around.
00:06:14.43\00:06:15.45
And sometimes I
think they never stop.
00:06:15.46\00:06:17.09
It just keeps going around
and around, but it doesn't.
00:06:17.10\00:06:20.61
They can turn their head
as you see around and around.
00:06:20.62\00:06:22.81
They do not move their
eyes and their sockets,
00:06:22.82\00:06:24.58
So they move their head to see.
00:06:24.59\00:06:26.57
Like many of the other raptors
00:06:26.58\00:06:27.96
that we have are birds of prey,
00:06:27.97\00:06:30.08
this creature also has a
thin membrane over her eyes
00:06:30.09\00:06:33.81
when she is out in
the snow or the rain
00:06:33.82\00:06:35.97
and she's flying,
that membrane serves
00:06:35.98\00:06:38.71
to cover her lens of her
eyes and prevent damage to it.
00:06:38.72\00:06:41.79
This creature is
capable easily of flying
00:06:41.80\00:06:43.80
a level flight
at 45 miles an hour.
00:06:43.81\00:06:46.57
Has excellent
ears, they can hear.
00:06:46.58\00:06:49.07
It is wonderful, We
can take about five hours
00:06:49.08\00:06:51.26
to study the hearing
sensory organs of the owl.
00:06:51.27\00:06:54.65
You can put this owl on a post
00:06:54.66\00:06:56.65
in the middle of a
100 yard Princeton area
00:06:56.66\00:07:00.08
and put in three mice
and it can be quite grassy
00:07:00.09\00:07:04.04
and sedge, and
what have you, and bush
00:07:04.05\00:07:06.45
and this owl perched up there
00:07:06.46\00:07:08.11
within 20 minutes will
catch all of those mice.
00:07:08.12\00:07:11.10
Will simply fly
down, total darkness,
00:07:11.11\00:07:13.45
would just simply fly
down, locate them by sound,
00:07:13.46\00:07:15.95
sitting perched
up, fly right down
00:07:15.96\00:07:17.63
and pick them up
with one of their talons
00:07:17.64\00:07:19.54
and fly off and eat it.
00:07:19.55\00:07:20.93
So they are a marvelous
creature in that respect.
00:07:20.94\00:07:23.78
They are also stealthy
creatures of predation.
00:07:23.79\00:07:29.43
They have very soft
feathers on their wings.
00:07:29.44\00:07:33.30
And so when they glide
and fly through the air,
00:07:33.31\00:07:35.27
does not make any sound.
00:07:35.28\00:07:36.75
Now, Phyllis wanted
us to be sure to remember
00:07:36.76\00:07:39.23
and so she flew up
and she showed us her
00:07:39.24\00:07:41.36
beautiful wing on this side
00:07:41.37\00:07:43.08
but unfortunately I'd like
to turn her a little like this.
00:07:43.09\00:07:45.39
Phyllis, would you
turn us--turn and show us
00:07:45.40\00:07:47.72
and let the boys and
girls see what happen.
00:07:47.73\00:07:49.81
Unfortunately Phyllis had
an automobile accident, okay.
00:07:49.82\00:07:53.66
She didn't have good insurance.
00:07:53.67\00:07:54.93
Okay, she didn't
have health insurance,
00:07:54.94\00:07:57.00
but she was fortunate because
the car injured her wing.
00:07:57.01\00:08:00.21
Someone recovered her and
took her to a veterinarian
00:08:00.22\00:08:03.55
and it was determined that her
wing could never be repaired.
00:08:03.56\00:08:05.92
She can never fly and
live in the wild again
00:08:05.93\00:08:08.23
and so they had
to amputate her wing.
00:08:08.24\00:08:10.77
But she came here to the
LHA Rehabilitation Center,
00:08:10.78\00:08:13.31
where we are today
00:08:13.32\00:08:14.44
where she has received
good loving care for many years.
00:08:14.45\00:08:18.37
So this owl will go on
teaching boys and girls
00:08:18.38\00:08:20.90
about Jesus and His wonderful
00:08:20.91\00:08:22.26
creative
abilities for many years.
00:08:22.27\00:08:24.48
In the wild,
they would have lived
00:08:24.49\00:08:26.09
some maybe eight years, six
years or eight years at most
00:08:26.10\00:08:30.54
and so this owl now
is already 11 years old
00:08:30.55\00:08:32.90
and in good--
basically in good health.
00:08:32.91\00:08:34.66
She may live on for
another six or eight years.
00:08:34.67\00:08:37.20
And so that's
wonderful, isn't it?
00:08:37.21\00:08:38.38
So, Phyllis, we would
like to thank you today
00:08:38.39\00:08:40.35
for coming and
showing the boys and girls
00:08:40.36\00:08:41.98
what a beautiful lady you are.
00:08:41.99\00:08:43.85
And it proves to us
once again, boys and girls,
00:08:43.86\00:08:45.83
that when Jesus makes something
00:08:45.84\00:08:47.40
it's always beautiful.
00:08:47.41\00:08:49.00
It's always
perfect and He equips
00:08:49.01\00:08:50.88
all of His creatures
to survive in the wild.
00:08:50.89\00:08:53.17
So we serve a
wonderful God, boys and girls.
00:08:53.18\00:08:56.02
Don't forget, He is
coming soon and what I told you
00:08:56.03\00:08:58.74
at the very
beginning is true today.
00:08:58.75\00:09:01.12
You be faithful to Jesus
00:09:01.13\00:09:02.37
and tell
someone else about Jesus
00:09:02.38\00:09:03.82
so you can take them with
you when we get to heaven.
00:09:03.83\00:09:06.49
I've told you before in programs
00:09:06.50\00:09:07.81
we've had that the hummingbird
00:09:07.82\00:09:09.05
will come to us
and sit on our hands
00:09:09.06\00:09:10.88
and how this lovely
creature with his long talons
00:09:10.89\00:09:13.73
will sit on our
hands, I don't know yet.
00:09:13.74\00:09:15.56
But all things are
possible with Jesus.
00:09:15.57\00:09:17.89
So we're going to have these
wonderful creatures with us.
00:09:17.90\00:09:20.31
He is coming soon, be
ready, boys and girls.
00:09:20.32\00:09:22.36
Don't forget to tell
Jesus that you love Him
00:09:22.37\00:09:24.81
because He really does love you.
00:09:24.82\00:09:27.83
Hi, Uncle Buddy,
here is a letter.
00:09:35.47\00:09:37.28
Ah, thank you Brittany.
00:09:37.29\00:09:39.70
I wonder who it's
from? It's from my wife Tina.
00:09:39.71\00:09:43.18
It says, "Buddy,
I love you. Tina."
00:09:43.19\00:09:47.25
Ah, it's so good to
be loved, boys and girls.
00:09:47.26\00:09:50.44
And boys and girls, it's
not just your mom, your dad,
00:09:50.45\00:09:53.11
or your brother or
your sister that loves you.
00:09:53.12\00:09:55.37
More than
anybody, Jesus loves you.
00:09:55.38\00:09:58.38
There's a text, First
John Chapter 4 verse 19
00:09:58.39\00:10:00.60
that talks about
that. Right, Britt? Yep.
00:10:00.61\00:10:03.81

I love you so much.
00:14:37.14\00:14:38.87
You are such a
special gift from God.
00:14:38.88\00:14:42.65
Welcome, I just
made a pot of lentils
00:14:42.66\00:14:46.15
and baked a fresh loaf of bread.
00:14:46.16\00:14:48.59
We just love to have you come
in and share a meal with us.
00:14:48.60\00:14:51.81
I'd also like to share with you
00:14:51.82\00:14:53.30
what God has done
for us in our home here.
00:14:53.31\00:14:57.75
It all started--
well, let me tell you.
00:14:57.76\00:15:00.39
I am known as
the Shunammite woman
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.61
and this is my son.
00:15:02.62\00:15:05.33
One day, I noticed that
00:15:05.34\00:15:07.45
the prophet Elisha
was coming up our path.
00:15:07.46\00:15:10.73
Now he looked so hot and tired
00:15:10.74\00:15:13.07
and I often look out to see
00:15:13.08\00:15:14.73
if there is people
that are coming up the path
00:15:14.74\00:15:17.41
so that I can invite them
into our home to be refreshed.
00:15:17.42\00:15:21.35
And so I invited
the prophet Elisha
00:15:21.36\00:15:23.45
in just like I do everyone else
00:15:23.46\00:15:25.35
and gave him something to eat.
00:15:25.36\00:15:27.09
But when he left, I
noticed how very tired he was,
00:15:27.10\00:15:31.85
and as I watched
him walk away I thought,
00:15:31.86\00:15:36.77
this man needs
something special.
00:15:36.78\00:15:39.68
He needs his own room
where he can just get some rest.
00:15:39.69\00:15:43.91
And so I asked my
husband if he could build a room
00:15:43.92\00:15:47.32
on our house and
he said, "why wife,
00:15:47.33\00:15:50.61
that's a very good idea."
00:15:50.62\00:15:52.66
And so he built a room
and I put a bed in there
00:15:52.67\00:15:56.41
and I put a table and a stand,
00:15:56.42\00:15:59.18
where I could put a candlestick,
00:15:59.19\00:16:01.23
and then I
waited, waited everyday
00:16:01.24\00:16:03.97
for the prophet to
come back up the road.
00:16:03.98\00:16:07.16
One day I saw
the prophet coming,
00:16:07.17\00:16:10.14
and I ran out and I
waved to him and said,
00:16:10.15\00:16:12.08
"Elisha, man of
God, come on in."
00:16:12.09\00:16:15.58
And as he came in,
00:16:15.59\00:16:17.00
I told him that I had
something special to show him.
00:16:17.01\00:16:20.36
I took him up the stairs
00:16:20.37\00:16:23.06
and when I showed him his room,
00:16:23.07\00:16:25.07
oh, you should have
seen the look on his face.
00:16:25.08\00:16:29.19
His eyes just lighted
up and I left him to rest
00:16:29.20\00:16:33.07
with his servant Gehazi
00:16:33.08\00:16:34.80
and I wanted to
prepare a good stew for him.
00:16:34.81\00:16:38.05
And while I was fixing supper,
00:16:38.06\00:16:40.05
Gehazi came down and he said,
00:16:40.06\00:16:41.78
"The prophet Elisha
would like to see you."
00:16:41.79\00:16:45.06
And I said, "well, all right."
00:16:45.07\00:16:47.30
And so I went up and
I said to the prophet,
00:16:47.31\00:16:51.93
"what would you like
or do you need anything?"
00:16:51.94\00:16:54.70
And he said, "No, I
was going to ask you."
00:16:54.71\00:16:57.10
He said, "What would
you like me to do for you?"
00:16:57.11\00:17:00.51
And he said-- I said,
00:17:00.52\00:17:01.98
"would you like me to speak
a word for the king to you?"
00:17:01.99\00:17:05.51
I said, "No, I don't need
any favors from the king."
00:17:05.52\00:17:10.69
And he said, "Well,
is there anything else
00:17:10.70\00:17:12.15
that you'd like
me to do for you?"
00:17:12.16\00:17:14.04
And I said, "No,
God has filled my heart
00:17:14.05\00:17:17.19
with so much love for others
00:17:17.20\00:17:19.82
and for Him I just feel so full.
00:17:19.83\00:17:22.22
There isn't
anything I really need.
00:17:22.23\00:17:25.02
And he said, "Well, okay"
00:17:25.03\00:17:27.40
and so I went down the stairs.
00:17:27.41\00:17:30.80
Well, a little bit
later Gehazi came back said,
00:17:30.81\00:17:34.42
"the prophet
wants to see you again."
00:17:34.43\00:17:37.33
So I came back up the
stairs and as I stood there.
00:17:37.34\00:17:40.59
He said,
"Gehazi, has just told me
00:17:40.60\00:17:43.67
that you have no children."
00:17:43.68\00:17:47.43
And I said,
"Yes, that is right."
00:17:47.44\00:17:50.19
And he said, "About this time
00:17:50.20\00:17:52.05
next year you will have a son."
00:17:52.06\00:17:55.02
I said, "Oh, prophet of God,
00:17:55.03\00:17:58.24
do not raise my hopes."
00:17:58.25\00:18:00.76
I did not know how
this thing could be.
00:18:00.77\00:18:03.56
But he just smiled.
00:18:03.57\00:18:05.83
And then I walked back
down stairs thinking about that.
00:18:05.84\00:18:10.10
A year later, God gave me
00:18:10.11\00:18:12.75
a wonderful
gift, a precious son.
00:18:12.76\00:18:16.89
This very child the right here.
00:18:16.90\00:18:19.39
And oh, how we enjoyed him.
00:18:19.40\00:18:22.03
He loved helping his
daddy out in the fields.
00:18:22.04\00:18:25.66
And one day as he
was helping his dad
00:18:25.67\00:18:29.62
he became very ill.
00:18:29.63\00:18:31.98
And a servant
carried him back to me.
00:18:31.99\00:18:35.32
You didn't feel very
well, did you, honey?
00:18:35.33\00:18:38.35
Uh um, um.
00:18:38.36\00:18:40.67
Did your head
hurt, honey, Uh hmm.
00:18:40.68\00:18:43.30
Yes, your head hurt,
his head hurt so bad.
00:18:43.31\00:18:48.34
And I held him in
my lap and I walked him
00:18:48.35\00:18:51.49
and I held him close to me,
00:18:51.50\00:18:54.82
but about noon his eyes closed
00:18:54.83\00:18:57.06
and he quit breathing.
00:18:57.07\00:18:59.51
My precious son, my gift
from God was taken from me.
00:18:59.52\00:19:05.79
I did not tell my
husband about this.
00:19:05.80\00:19:08.51
I did not tell my servant.
00:19:08.52\00:19:10.46
I just took my
child up to Elisha's room
00:19:10.47\00:19:14.69
that we had made for
him and laid him on the bed.
00:19:14.70\00:19:18.53
And then as I looked at
him, he was so cold and still.
00:19:18.54\00:19:24.60
I knew what I must do.
00:19:24.61\00:19:26.68
I must go to the prophet Elisha
00:19:26.69\00:19:28.60
at Mount Carmel at once.
00:19:28.61\00:19:30.55
I called my
servant, he got the donkey
00:19:30.56\00:19:33.19
and we hurried
as fast as we could
00:19:33.20\00:19:35.73
and when we were almost there,
00:19:35.74\00:19:37.92
Gehazi came out to meet us.
00:19:37.93\00:19:40.65
And he said, "is
all well with you?"
00:19:40.66\00:19:43.36
And I said, "all is well."
00:19:43.37\00:19:45.92
And I just kept right on going
00:19:45.93\00:19:47.25
because I knew that
00:19:47.26\00:19:48.26
God would do something special
00:19:48.27\00:19:50.68
and I fell at Elisha's feet.
00:19:50.69\00:19:53.41
Gehazi tried to pull me away.
00:19:53.42\00:19:56.12
But Elisha
said, "leave her alone
00:19:56.13\00:19:59.16
for God has not revealed to
me what has happened to her."
00:19:59.17\00:20:03.02
Then I just told him,
00:20:03.03\00:20:04.95
"did I not ask you
not to raise my hopes?"
00:20:04.96\00:20:08.47
And when he heard what
had happened to my son.
00:20:08.48\00:20:11.55
He took his staff
and he gave it to Gehazi
00:20:11.56\00:20:13.66
and he said, "go at once.
00:20:13.67\00:20:15.95
Don't even talk to anybody.
00:20:15.96\00:20:17.64
If they say something to
you don't answer them back.
00:20:17.65\00:20:20.55
Go straight to the
Shunammite woman's home.
00:20:20.56\00:20:23.66
Go up to the room and
lay my rod on the boy."
00:20:23.67\00:20:28.89
And Gehazi went immediately.
00:20:28.90\00:20:32.92
But I knew that
00:20:32.93\00:20:35.19
God had this miracle
given to me through Elisha
00:20:35.20\00:20:38.84
and I was not going
to leave without Elisha,
00:20:38.85\00:20:42.93
and so Elisha
agreed to come along.
00:20:42.94\00:20:46.60
We hurried as
quickly as we could
00:20:46.61\00:20:49.49
and when we were almost there
00:20:49.50\00:20:51.33
Gehazi came out and he said,
00:20:51.34\00:20:53.42
"Elisha, I did what you
said but nothing happened."
00:20:53.43\00:20:58.91
Elisha went upstairs to the room
00:20:58.92\00:21:03.02
and he prayed to God
and then he laid on the side
00:21:03.03\00:21:07.77
and he put his eyes on his eyes
00:21:07.78\00:21:09.48
and his nose on his
nose and breathed into him
00:21:09.49\00:21:13.73
and my son became
warm, but that was all.
00:21:13.74\00:21:18.86
He got up and he
paced back and forth
00:21:18.87\00:21:21.52
and he cried out to God to help
00:21:21.53\00:21:24.34
and then again he
did the same thing.
00:21:24.35\00:21:27.22
This time my son
sneezed seven times and sat up
00:21:27.23\00:21:32.73
and then he
called me to the door
00:21:32.74\00:21:36.40
and then he told
me to take up my son,
00:21:36.41\00:21:40.19
and God has given
me my son back to me.
00:21:40.20\00:21:43.22
O what a wonderful God we have.
00:21:43.23\00:21:45.76
My heart praises
God for blessing me
00:21:45.77\00:21:49.75
abundantly more than I
could ever ask or think.
00:21:49.76\00:21:55.43
My God has taught me
00:21:55.44\00:21:58.79
that it is more blessed
to give than to receive.
00:21:58.80\00:22:04.27
He does reward those who
love and share Him with others.
00:22:04.28\00:22:13.22
I'm just a little
fellow but I always want to be
00:22:26.44\00:22:31.82
A cowboy sticking
close to the Man of Galilee
00:22:31.83\00:22:37.25
I want to do some roping of
the souls now bound for hell
00:22:37.26\00:22:42.68
And keep them all for
Jesus in the Holy Ghost Corral
00:22:42.69\00:22:47.49
I'll be a cowboy
a Christian cowboy
00:22:47.50\00:22:52.87
I'll work for Jesus all my days
00:22:52.88\00:22:58.07
And on the
prairie or in the city
00:22:58.08\00:23:03.54
I'll help to
round up all the strays
00:23:03.55\00:23:09.46
I haven't got much talent
and I ain't too smart you see
00:23:09.47\00:23:14.90
But I can love my Jesus
and He can still love me
00:23:14.91\00:23:20.37
And partner, all I want
to do is satisfy my Boss
00:23:20.38\00:23:25.80
And be the bestest Christian
boy that ever rode a hoss
00:23:25.81\00:23:30.60
I'll be a cowboy
a Christian cowboy
00:23:30.61\00:23:35.96
I'll work for Jesus all my days
00:23:35.97\00:23:41.25
And on the
prairie or in the city
00:23:41.26\00:23:46.73
I'll help to
round up all the strays
00:23:46.74\00:23:52.59
Thank you, Rilee, for that song.
00:24:01.79\00:24:03.47
I really like that song.
00:24:03.48\00:24:05.34
Well, boys and girls, I
want you to meet a friend
00:24:05.35\00:24:07.33
that's joining me
today on Sharing Time.
00:24:07.34\00:24:09.29
And this is Tyler,
Tyler, where are you from?
00:24:09.30\00:24:11.95
Paducah, Kentucky.
00:24:11.96\00:24:13.30
Paducah, Kentucky, and you--
00:24:13.31\00:24:15.03
you--have you
lived there a long time?
00:24:15.04\00:24:18.00
Ever since I was a baby.
00:24:18.01\00:24:19.58
Wow, that's pretty long time.
00:24:19.59\00:24:20.85
And how old are you, Tyler?
00:24:20.86\00:24:22.47
Eight and I'll be nine.
00:24:22.48\00:24:24.04
Eight you'll be nine,
00:24:24.05\00:24:25.43
can you tell the boys and girls
00:24:25.44\00:24:26.77
how--how you share Jesus?
00:24:26.78\00:24:28.91
I hold the door open for people
00:24:28.92\00:24:31.26
and I sing at nursing
homes and I sing at my church.
00:24:31.27\00:24:36.61
You sing at your church.
00:24:36.62\00:24:37.59
Now when you go
to the nursing home,
00:24:37.60\00:24:38.61
do you go into the--
00:24:38.62\00:24:39.59
into the rooms to
visit with the people or?
00:24:39.60\00:24:42.31
No, I--they come
out into the lobby.
00:24:42.32\00:24:45.60
Into the lobby and sing too.
00:24:45.61\00:24:46.95
Now what kind of
songs do you sing?
00:24:46.96\00:24:48.40
Like all their favorites.
00:24:48.41\00:24:50.61
Like what, do you
remember any of the songs?
00:24:50.62\00:24:52.45
"Amazing Grace",
"Jesus Loves Me",
00:24:52.46\00:24:55.75
"The Old Rugged Cross."
00:24:55.76\00:24:57.22
Those are favorites of mine too.
00:24:57.23\00:24:59.26
Do you like those songs?
00:24:59.27\00:25:00.83
I do too now why would you
go and do all those things?
00:25:00.84\00:25:03.41
Because I love Jesus.
00:25:03.42\00:25:06.01
I can tell that you
do love Jesus, Tyler.
00:25:06.02\00:25:08.63
Well, we've been sitting here
00:25:08.64\00:25:09.61
reading some Kids' Time letters
00:25:09.62\00:25:10.84
and thank you, boys and
girls, for your letters.
00:25:10.85\00:25:12.76
Can you open that one for me?
00:25:12.77\00:25:14.70
And I'd like to share one
right here for you real quick.
00:25:14.71\00:25:17.58
This one says, oh, we
have a picture in this one.
00:25:17.59\00:25:21.20
And there it says, Andrew
and Noah, his friend Noah.
00:25:21.21\00:25:24.12
It says, "Dear Brenda,
00:25:24.13\00:25:25.10
we sang to some older
people with our friends."
00:25:25.11\00:25:27.16
They sing to older people too.
00:25:27.17\00:25:29.07
"Cause I like the New Kids' Time
00:25:29.08\00:25:30.62
especially Ranger
Jim, love, Andrew."
00:25:30.63\00:25:33.53
And then Andrew drew us a
special picture right there
00:25:33.54\00:25:37.15
and also there's
another letter in here
00:25:37.16\00:25:40.73
and another picture.
00:25:40.74\00:25:42.34
And it says, "Dear Brenda,
00:25:42.35\00:25:43.61
I made little
bear breads for Sabbath
00:25:43.62\00:25:45.86
and share them with our friends
00:25:45.87\00:25:47.21
and they were surprised.
00:25:47.22\00:25:48.35
I love Kids'
Time. Love, Glozni."
00:25:48.36\00:25:50.78
And this is from
Glozni, Andrew and Keira.
00:25:50.79\00:25:55.09
Keira, Glozni, Andrew,
thank you so much for that.
00:25:55.10\00:25:58.06
And do you have a
letter here for me,
00:25:58.07\00:25:59.47
which we can
read real quick? Okay.
00:25:59.48\00:26:03.50
This says, "Dear
Brenda, my name is Isaac
00:26:03.51\00:26:06.42
and I'm only four years old.
00:26:06.43\00:26:08.29
Me and my family has
worship every morning
00:26:08.30\00:26:10.60
and my sister is
writing the letter for me
00:26:10.61\00:26:12.25
because I can't write yet.
00:26:12.26\00:26:13.94
Her name is Vanessaand
she already sent you a letter
00:26:13.95\00:26:16.66
I would like to get
a Kids' Time book too.
00:26:16.67\00:26:19.10
Your friend, Isaac,"
00:26:19.11\00:26:20.52
I'll be happy to
send you a book, Isaac.
00:26:20.53\00:26:22.98
Well, boys and girls,
00:26:22.99\00:26:23.96
that's about all
the time we had today.
00:26:23.97\00:26:26.23
Please keep your
cards and letters coming
00:26:26.24\00:26:28.15
I love hearing from you.
00:26:28.16\00:26:29.55
Thank you so much, Tyler,
00:26:29.56\00:26:30.91
for joining me in
Sharing Time today.
00:26:30.92\00:26:32.99
Remember to always
keep sharing Jesus.
00:26:33.00\00:26:35.26
And I wanna
encourage you, boys and girls,
00:26:35.27\00:26:37.70
to do the same
because wherever you go,
00:26:37.71\00:26:39.82
whatever you do remember,
00:26:39.83\00:26:41.54
its kids' time to share Jesus.
00:26:41.55\00:26:44.94
