00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus. 00:10 It's time to share there's a world out there, 00:13 let's tell them that he loves us so. 00:17 Let's tell them that he loves us so. 00:20 Kids time, kids time, kids time, kids time. 00:24 Hi, boys and girls. I'm holding in my hand 00:27 a very well known book. It was written during 00:30 World War II. Before you were even born, 00:33 but it was written by a girl not much older then you. 00:36 Her name was Anne Frank. In during World War II, 00:39 Jewish people found themselves, they were 00:41 hunted down by soldiers and police. 00:44 Even though they hadn't done anything wrong. 00:46 And if they were found they were sent away to 00:49 horrible places, where they were treated 00:51 cruelly and starved to death or killed. 00:54 Naturally, no Jewish person or Jewish family, 00:58 wanted this to happen to them. So, they tried in every 01:01 way they knew they have to avoid being found. 01:04 Anne Frank was a happy bright child. 01:07 And she loved school and had good friends. 01:10 And she like to have a good time. But, 01:13 you know what she was Jewish and the diary 01:16 she wrote tells how her life changed during the war. 01:19 She and seven other people hide from the soldiers 01:22 for two years. They hide in a small suite of 01:25 rooms over a shop. And everyday they 01:28 lived in fear that they would be discovered. 01:31 And when you get little older you might wanna 01:33 read the story because it's the special story. 01:37 The reason I told you about Anne Frank, 01:38 is that her story reminds me of another family 01:41 who had a child, we find that story in the Bible. 01:44 And this family was Hebrew. Ancestors of Jewish people 01:48 like Anne and way back in Bible times. 01:51 A King of Egypt called the Pharaoh decided to kill 01:55 Hebrew baby boys. Can you imagine that? 01:58 What would you do if you had a baby boy in your family? 02:01 Whom the king wanted to kill. As we listen to today's 02:05 story we learn about what one brave mother did, 02:09 and how God protected her baby. But, first let's learn 02:14 something about the Redwing Blackbird from Ranger Jim. 02:25 Ranger Jim here boys and girls, with a friend 02:28 Redwing Blackbird. As you can see he has 02:30 beautiful red applets on his shoulder. 02:33 Those birds who live in the colder parts of United States 02:35 and Canada, we look forward to seeing 02:37 Mr. Blackbird comeback in the spring. 02:39 Because he is a harboring of spring, we know that 02:41 soon the warm weather will come. 02:43 The black birds love to nest around water. 02:45 Not always is true, but when they can, they love to 02:48 nest around water. The males comeback in the 02:50 spring first of all to establish the territory 02:53 where they raised the family a year before. 02:55 Then the females come three weeks or a month later 02:58 knowing, where they raised a family the year before. 03:00 And she simply comes backs back to that site, 03:03 here's her husband he has reestablished that area. 03:06 Protected it from other families and so then 03:08 they are ready to begin building their nest 03:10 and producing young. Now of all the creatures 03:13 that God made, birds prove more than any other. 03:17 That it would be impossible for these creatures to 03:20 have evolved. I actually have college 03:23 level books in my library that claim that the birds 03:27 came from the large dinosaur type creatures like 03:30 alligators and things of that nature. 03:32 They are cold-blooded animals with thick heavy bones. 03:35 No, it couldn't be true. God created the birds, 03:38 their bones are hollow, very delicate. 03:41 Inside of the hollow structure there are struts much 03:44 the same that we use in construction today. 03:47 And the bird is very light in fact the bird flying 03:50 through the air is with great ease. We could 03:53 spend two hours talking about the feathers 03:56 themselves that cover the birds body. 03:58 The primary feathers or the wing feathers 04:00 that allow the birds to fly. Their digestive systems 04:04 and all of those systems is almost impossible to 04:06 imagine that someone could study birds and believe 04:10 that they all just happened. So don't you ever believe that 04:13 regards of what people tell you this beautiful creature 04:16 could come to your feeder in the coldest part 04:18 of the winter. And enjoy some food 04:21 that you have there sunflower seeds or corn, 04:23 whatever it might be and then go down to the tree 04:27 where he roosts and all of the birds have a 04:29 favorite place. And now Mr. Blackbird 04:31 doesn't enjoy this at all being on television. 04:33 But, we want to restrain him as carefully as we can, 04:36 so that you may see him and learn about him. 04:39 We place our food out and feed the birds 04:40 that he goes to roost. And he finds a nice place. 04:43 The wind maybe blowing, it maybe very cool 04:46 and snowing even and after he had a good meal 04:48 in your yard. He flies to his favorite 04:50 place, where he is going to spend the night. 04:52 Usually on a porch near the trunk of a tree, 04:55 and that's out of the wind. He has an expose to the wind 04:58 and their he stays all night. And yes it is true, 05:01 when the temperature drops and gets well below zero. 05:04 Birds do tuff their heads under their wings. 05:07 And that is because instinctively they place 05:09 it there, they are breathing air that has been, 05:12 pre-warmed passing through the feathers near their body. 05:15 That way they are not breathing air from the 05:17 open air that have ice particles in it, that would 05:20 cause moisture in their nostrils and develop 05:22 into pneumonia and so all of these things 05:25 we see are just wonderful things about birds. 05:28 Now if you are concerned and you are watching 05:30 at home that the birds beating his wings. 05:32 I'm restraining him very carefully by holding his 05:35 legs so that he can't twist sideways and injure himself 05:38 and when we are finish showing this bird 05:40 you taking it back carefully placing it get back in 05:42 the cage that we have. We will take him back 05:44 to the site, where he came from and release him 05:47 so he can go back to his normal routine. 05:50 Now remember that when we see most of these 05:53 birds his wife, is rather a dull gray with strips 05:56 and streaks on her feathers. And this guy is 05:59 so very, very obvious. He has all of the bright 06:02 wing applets and all. And why do you suppose 06:05 that God usually with all the birds made 06:08 the males more beautiful then the females. 06:10 And I sometime jokingly tell my wife, we men just 06:13 have to be humble about that. But, that's not really 06:16 true, our wonderful Jesus in his knowledge 06:18 knowing that there would be creatures that would come 06:21 in search of birds and picture this. 06:24 The mother black bird has a nest and under her 06:27 feet in the nest there are three or four tiny babies 06:30 just hatched out of the egg and your kitty cat that 06:33 you love and you feed well comes walking down 06:35 the pathway. And all morning long 06:38 Mr. Redwing, the male has been out there singing 06:40 oh, kon-ka-reeee, oh, kon-ka-reeee 06:43 and singing back and forth and 06:44 making his beautiful sounds and suddenly 06:46 he is nowhere to be seen, where she needs him. 06:49 And here comes the cat and she holds her breath, 06:52 and she sits very still and quite and you can't see 06:55 her on the nest because she is well camouflaged. 06:57 And soon a welcome song reach her because just 07:00 up off to the side she hears a familiar sound 07:03 here he is and he even flies bravely down in front of 07:07 your cat on the path about 40 or 50 feet ahead of him. 07:11 And begins to flutter his wings and sing away. 07:14 And your cat begins to stalk him. Right? 07:17 And down the path he goes have you seen the bird 07:19 with the all injured wing trick? 07:21 That's right and that's what Mr. Daddy Redwing does. 07:25 At the cat follows him further and further away 07:28 and down this path and the cat almost can catch him. 07:32 And the cat is more interested in following him 07:34 and following him. And his wife back on the nest 07:36 says, Oh! Thank you. I'm so glad he came 07:39 and down the path now three blocks from home 07:42 your cat gets a very close and almost catches him 07:45 this time, but this time Mr. Redwing flies up 07:47 on a tree and turns around he says Na Na Na Na Naa. 07:51 I fooled you this time, right and I've taken the 07:54 cat away from my family. So that's why Jesus 07:56 made all the males bright and very conspicuous. 08:00 And the females are dull colors more difficult to see 08:03 when they sit on the nest. So their once again, 08:06 always boys and girls, when we start examining 08:09 the things that Jesus made the things that were created. 08:12 We always see love. We always see his great 08:16 creative ability, who could have thought, 08:19 who could have ever conceived of having a bird jet black 08:23 with a beautiful orange and yellow applets. 08:25 That just sparkle in the sunlight. 08:27 So, anytime that you see a bird remember our friend 08:30 Ellen White has told us, all that would possible. 08:33 All that we would need, would have been possible 08:36 without the birds. But, it was because of a 08:38 loving heart. And Jesus would know 08:41 that we knew that we loved him because of the 08:44 things that he has given us. So Ranger Jim here, 08:46 again reminding you boys and girls, tell Jesus that 08:49 you love him because he really does love you. 09:00 Hi, Boys and Girls, First Corinthians, chapter 13 09:03 is known as the love chapter. Another word for love is 09:06 Agape, our text comes from verse 8 and Kiera, 09:10 will now say that for us. Love never fails. 09:16 God is love and love never fails. 09:28 God's grace abounding, good news astounding Love, 09:32 unconditionally, all that I cried for, what Jesus died for 09:39 that's God's agape to me. He loves little girls with 09:45 toothless grins. He loves little boys with 09:48 dimple chins. He loves children in a 09:52 special way. For every moment of the day. 09:57 God's grace abounding, good news astounding love, 10:01 unconditionally, all that I cried for, what Jesus died 10:08 for that's God's agape to me. He loves grandpa in his 10:14 rocking chair. He loves grandma with 10:17 her silver hair. He loves all the folks in 10:21 tiny tots. Oh! Yes, he loves us all and lots! 10:26 God's grace abounding, good news astounding Love, 10:30 unconditionally, all that I cried for, what Jesus died for 10:37 that's God's agape to me. He loves rich and poor 10:42 and old and young. He loves every race 10:46 and every tongue. He loves have it made 10:49 it very clear? That he loves 10:53 every person here, yes 10:55 he holds each person dear. 10:58 God's grace abounding, good news astounding Love, 11:02 unconditionally, all that I cried for, what Jesus died for 11:09 that's God's agape to me, that's God's agape to me. 11:33 Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, 11:43 that saved a child like me, I once was lost, but now 12:00 I'm found, was blind, but now, I see. 12:13 When we've been here ten thousand years 12:23 bird shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing 12:40 God's praise then when we've first begun. 13:02 Moses, Moses come here Moses. Don't play so close 13:08 to the river dear. There were crocodiles 13:10 in the river and they may hurt you, I wouldn't want 13:13 anything to happen to you. Come play close to me, 13:18 well that's where the river that brought you to me. 13:22 You see my father is the mighty pharaoh. 13:26 Ruler over the land of Egypt. Although, I love my father 13:31 very much, he can be a shrewd and harsh man. 13:38 Before my father became pharaoh, there was a man name 13:41 Joseph, who had found great favor with the king. 13:44 Why he made Joseph second in command over all of Egypt. 13:52 It just so happened that Joseph was an Israelite. 13:56 The son of Jacob, now a great Famine had come 14:00 upon the land and Joseph with his guards instruction, 14:05 had made provisions for food for the entire nation of 14:08 Egypt, so that the people would not starved to death. 14:13 Now it was during the great Famine that Joseph 14:16 brought his entire family from the land of Canaan. 14:21 He wanted to be near them, so that he could 14:24 take care of them. So, he wanted him right 14:26 there in Egypt with him. Now Farrow because of his 14:31 great love for Joseph. Gave Joseph family the 14:35 land of Goshen. This was the best land in 14:38 all of Egypt. Over the years their family grew very 14:45 large. Sometime after Joseph died my father became 14:50 king. You know here in Egypt, we call our kings 14:55 Pharaoh's. Now my father and his advisors were 14:59 worried that there was getting to be too many Israelites. 15:03 Why? They were afraid that the Israelites will become 15:07 stronger than Egyptians and take over the country 15:11 by force. So, my father made all the Israelites 15:16 his slaves. He set taskmasters 15:20 over them and treated them very cruel. 15:24 But, the God bless them and their families, 15:27 and they continue to grow. This made my father and 15:31 his advisors very angry. So, they came up with a plan, 15:38 a very evil plan. You know, my father 15:44 made a decree that every baby boy born to an 15:49 Israelite family was to be thrown in the 15:52 river and killed. This made me so very sad. 15:58 It was during his dreadful time that something 16:02 amazing happened. One day, I was going down 16:06 to the river to bathe. When I spotted a basket 16:10 floating in tall reeds. I was curious as to what 16:15 was in this basket? And I ask my maid to 16:18 go and bring the basket to me. When I opened the basket, 16:24 I saw the most beautiful baby inside, I loved this baby 16:30 the minute I saw him. I knew right away, 16:35 that some mother loved this baby very much. 16:40 And was trying everything she could to save her child. 16:46 I couldn't save all the other innocent babies. 16:50 But, I could save this one. I would taken to be my 16:56 very own son. As I was standing near by 17:00 the river, an Israelite girl came up to me and 17:03 offered to give me a nurse for the baby. 17:06 I told her yes, go at once. She returned bringing a kind 17:12 Israelite women. I asked her to nurse the baby 17:16 for me and I would pay her wages to do so. 17:20 I named my little boy Moses, for it means 17:24 drawn from the river. Moses lived with his Israelite 17:29 mother until he grew a little older. 17:32 Now he has come to the palace to live with me. 17:36 My father, the mighty pharaoh has not only accepted 17:41 my little boy, but he is grown to live him just 17:44 as I do. Why? My father is determined 17:48 to make Moses his successor to the throne of Egypt. 17:55 He is to get the best education in all the court of 17:59 pharaoh. I know that Moses will grow up to be a 18:06 great and mighty man. Oh! Dear, Moses 18:12 are you hungry? I thought you might be. 18:16 Why don't we go up the palace and 18:18 get something to eat. Okay. 18:29 Hi, boys and girls. Thank you for joining 18:31 us today, you are just in time my granddaughter Hayley 18:34 is teaching me a new song.
