00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus. It's time to share 00:11 there's a world out there. Let's tell them 00:14 that He loves us so. Let's tell them that He loves 00:20 us so.Kids time, kids time, kids time. 00:24 Hi boys and girls, how do you like my friend here? 00:27 Isn't she beautiful? She looks almost real doesn't 00:30 she? Almost like you could just reach out and touch her 00:33 and she might even talk to you, but of course 00:35 she is only a doll made to look like a person. 00:38 But at first glimpse you might be fooled right? 00:41 Well from as far as recorded history, 00:44 people have made copies of human beings. 00:46 You know there is a very famous museum in London 00:49 that I went to called Madame Tussauds wax museum. 00:52 And there you can see figures made of wax that 00:55 looks so life like that you expect them to walk right 00:58 out the door with you. Other figures that real look real 01:01 can be made of plastic or wood or stone or any 01:06 materials. Many of the great statues in the world are made 01:08 of marble, larger than life. Let me just put her down 01:12 right here, so she can rest there, isn't 01:16 she beautiful standing like that. 01:18 She looks like she can be my little girl, doesn't she? 01:20 Perhaps some of you live in Italy and have seen the 01:23 famous sculptures of Michelangelo, 01:25 who carved from marble life-like representations 01:28 of David, Peter, Jesus, Mary and other people 01:32 from the Bible. But speaking of the Bible, 01:34 do you know that many people who live in Bible times 01:37 worshiped idols. These idols were made in a variety 01:40 of shapes from materials like wood, stone, 01:43 gold or even bronze. Some of them were very tiny, 01:47 so tiny that you could easily hold one in your hand. 01:52 Others were large, even life size. 01:54 God wasn't happy with people who made these images. 01:57 He was especially unhappy with the people who 01:59 worshiped them. Today, not many people worship idols, 02:03 at least not the kind that people worship long ago. 02:07 But do you know that God said not to have any 02:10 Gods before him. That means that we shouldn't love 02:13 anything more than we love God. 02:14 Today's Bible story tells about a woman who put an idol 02:18 to good use. She didn't make it, 02:20 and she didn't worship it. But she did actually 02:24 use the idol to do something good for God. 02:28 Doesn't that make you a little bit curious? 02:29 You will hear all about it in our Bible story today. 02:33 But first Ranger James is going to tell us 02:36 about an Arabian horse. 02:45 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim here saying welcome 02:47 to Nature Time. We're glad that you can join us today. 02:49 We have two special friends with us. 02:51 We have Sissy and Ester, and Ester is the horse woman 02:54 that knows all about this type of horse, 02:56 and she is going to give us some information. 02:58 Ester would you just tell the boys and girls 02:59 about this horse. Yes, this is Sissy and Sissy 03:03 is an Arabian horse. Arabians are known as the father 03:07 of all breeds, because they're the oldest recorded 03:10 horse that is a pure breed that means the same 03:12 father and the same mother, it does down through 03:15 a lot of generations. In the world that we know 03:18 of and they're very special, some of the ways 03:21 that you can tell it's an Arabian is because they have 03:23 this nice little dish here in their forehead, 03:26 and they usually have nice big eyes which Sissy 03:30 is kind of sleeping right now. She is still beautiful 03:32 Yes, and they have these little ears up here at the 03:36 top and they have really nice arched necks. 03:39 Also they tend to stand about 14.2 to 15 hand high. 03:46 Do you know what a hand is Ranger Jim. 03:48 No, I have always heard about a horse being so many 03:50 hands high. Well, horses are measured because 03:54 they used to not have you know inches and feet, 03:57 that they could bring out to a horse, so they would use 04:00 hands and that's four inches and four inches 04:02 that's what, how they get their 14.2 hands to 15 hands. 04:08 Wonderful, I've learned something today you see. 04:09 But something else about their back, 04:11 and that's not at their head, that's at the highest 04:14 point to their back here they measure them, 04:16 but something interesting about the Arabian 04:18 is that they have one less vertebrae, 04:21 that's a section of their backbone than all the other 04:24 horses. So that's really fascinating. 04:27 Their colors also tend to be really dark brown like this 04:31 or what we call a gray and people wonder how can 04:36 a horse be a gray because it looks white, 04:39 and a lot of the grays they start out dark like 04:42 Sissy here, but then as they get older they turn, 04:45 they get white hair, but you can tell it's a gray 04:48 if you lift up the hairs, and see the black skin 04:52 underneath, and so we call them grays, 04:55 its kind of confusing. But they're still a beautiful 04:57 horse aren't they. They're beautiful and 04:59 they're very intelligent. These horses learn quite 05:02 quickly then. Very quickly, in fact if you start 05:05 training them from little on, if you do it about 05:08 three times, they've already got the idea if you do it 05:12 five times, hey they're on their way to being trained. 05:16 I wish I learned that fast. Well, that's wonderful 05:19 to learn about these creatures, I've heard 05:21 how long does a horse know, a lot of discussion 05:23 for how long, I know that dogs live a certain age, 05:26 how long does a horse normally live. 05:28 Well, in hearing years they usually live if they're well 05:32 cared for and they haven't had a lot of sicknesses 05:34 or injuries, they usually will live about 05:36 26 to 28 years old, although a horse when he turns 05:41 9 years old, they start calling them aged. 05:44 Nine years old. Nine years old, but they live a long 05:47 time after that, in fact the oldest horse that ever 05:50 lived was 62 years old. 62, I never heard such a 05:54 thing, I thought 25 years would be a very, very old. 05:57 And you know something God made a wonderful 06:00 thing for them; he gave them long legs and a big 06:04 chest with big lungs, so that they can run if anything 06:08 threatens or scares them. That's their escape 06:12 mechanism then. That's the way it happens. 06:14 Boys and girls you remember Ranger Jim's been telling 06:16 you about these different escape mechanisms that 06:19 creatures have, and here Ester tells that this one 06:21 is speed with stamina they run away. 06:23 Well, I've heard that these Arabian horse are a 06:26 little flighty, they're a little jumpy, is that true? 06:28 It can be because they're so intelligent and curious 06:31 and aware of what's going on around them, 06:33 they have to know everything and if they don't know 06:35 what it is like if a piece of paper flies at them, 06:38 they can get a little jumpy. What about training 06:41 when they're young, are they easily trained. 06:43 Very easily trained, especially this breed and 06:46 they're very willing to do what you ask them to do, 06:48 and in fact we call that heart in a horse to do 06:52 what you ask him do? That's wonderful; 06:54 we have some breeds that are a little stubborn, right. 06:56 Sometimes that happens. Alright and I've been 06:59 around a few of those, unruly horses are only done 07:02 by a unruly child, and so I think it would be same 07:06 if they're well trained and cared for with good 07:08 veterinary care, boys and girls they make a wonderful, 07:11 wonderful companion. But would you recommend 07:13 these for small children. I wouldn't recommend 07:15 the Arabian for small children; we tend to put more 07:18 experience riders with them. People that have ridden 07:21 horses and they know what they're doing. 07:23 Okay so we see once again boys and girls. 07:25 We've such a beautiful creature here, 07:27 Sissy you are such a lovely lady. 07:29 Thank you for coming on this windy day and sharing 07:31 with the boys and girls. Boys and girls, 07:33 don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him because 07:36 he really does love you. 07:51 Hi boys and girls, welcome to music time with Andrew. 08:00 I like to play you a song. Andrew, 08:05 how are you doing, what's going on here? 08:07 Hi Buddy, we're just wiping off the piano you know 08:11 how Brenda is so picky about that. Yeah, 08:13 that's very true. And I am so glad you're really 08:19 working on keeping my piano clean. 08:22 Actually boys and girls, I am happy about a lot of things. 08:25 Most of all I am so glad that Jesus loves even me. 08:40 I am so glad that our Father in heav'n 08:45 Tells of His love in the Book He has giv'n; 08:49 Wonderful things in the Bible I see 08:53 This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me. 08:59 I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me, 09:06 Jesus loves me. I am so glad that Jesus loves me, 09:14 Jesus loves even me. How he loves you and he 09:21 Oh how he love you and he He gave his life so 09:31 what will ye give Oh how he loves you, 09:38 oh how he loves me Oh how he loves you and 09:46 I am so glad that Jesus loves me, Jesus loves even me. 13:13 There you are, I've been looking for you. 13:16 Where have you been? Well, don't stray away 13:20 from the flock like that, the wild animals are out there, 13:23 you might get killed. Stay right there okay 13:32 I am going to practice my sling shot, 13:34 never know when it might come in handy. 14:03 Hello Josh. Oh hi Princess Michal. 14:06 That looks like you're getting pretty good at that. 14:07 Yeah, I'm gonna be just like David and go, go 14:10 fight all those evil forces and maybe even a giant. 14:15 What are you doing way out here in the sleep 14:16 field anyways. Oh, I was just kind of feeling sad. 14:20 I miss David you know, he is out so often fighting 14:23 the battles or hiding from my father King Saul. 14:26 And the flowers are so pretty, and the birds 14:29 are singing, I thought it would just cheer me up. 14:31 Well, I better get back watching my sheep right now. 14:35 Okay, oh that looks like a good place to rest. 14:44 These flowers are beautiful. It smells so good. 14:47 I miss David so much. This reminds me of the flowers 14:53 that he always brings from the field for me. 14:57 Are you out here enjoying God's nature also? 14:59 Come closer, I'll share my story with you. 15:03 Princess Michal, could I listen too. 15:06 I can stay back here watching my sheep, 15:09 but I can still listen. Sure, I am sure that you 15:13 already know a lot of this story Josh. 15:17 You know it all started way back when 15:18 David killed Goliath, and fought the Philistines. 15:21 God gave wisdom and strength to David, 15:24 and he always returned a hero. Well, my father Saul 15:28 was so jealous, once David came back from battle 15:32 and the women of Israel were dancing and singing 15:35 in the street. They said Saul has slain his thousands 15:39 and David his ten thousands. All of the people were 15:43 praising him, and he became much more popular 15:46 then King Saul himself. I guess it just got worse, 15:50 and worse. David used to play his harp for Saul, 15:53 somehow it soothed him when he was in his 15:56 terrible moods. But one day as David was playing 16:00 for my father, he suddenly was filled with a terrible 16:04 anger, and he threw a javelin, a very sharp knife 16:08 at David, but God protected him, and David quickly 16:12 escaped. My brother Jonathan, he is also David's 16:17 best friend, convinced our father to make his peace 16:21 with David, and for a time they seemed to get along 16:24 but once again jealousy arose in the heart of my 16:28 father. He tried to think of a way to get rid of David; 16:31 in fact that's how I became his wife. 16:34 You see I love David, and someone told my father, 16:38 he thought that I would be a good way to trick David. 16:42 My father hoped to kill David by promising me to him 16:46 if he would go out and kill a hundred Philistines. 16:49 Secretly he was sure that David would be killed, 16:53 I guess he wasn't very smart. He should have known 16:57 that God was with David, he came back as always 17:00 victorious, and he didn't just kill one hundred, 17:03 but two hundred Philistines. So, my father had to give 17:07 me to David. And I was glad, I admire him so much. 17:11 My father was so often loud and angry, but David, 17:16 he is gentle and wise. He does love God with 17:19 all of his heart. God blesses him. 17:23 Once after we were married David had to go back 17:27 to the palace, and pray his heart for King Saul. 17:30 My father was in a bad mood again, and David's music 17:34 seemed to be the only thing that helped, 17:37 but again Saul's anger got the best of him, 17:40 and once more he threw his javelin at David, 17:43 well David rushed home and he told me. 17:45 Well, I knew my father would not rest, 17:48 he wanted David dead. I knew how violent and evil 17:52 my father King Saul could be, and I was afraid for my 17:55 husband. I convinced him that he must flee for his life; 17:59 while we were talking and trying to decide what we 18:03 should do the soldiers were banging on our door. 18:06 Quickly I said you must, you must hide, I told 18:10 him you know there is a window, go out the window. 18:15 So David quickly went to the window we whispered 18:18 goodbye and he was gone. Now the soldiers were 18:22 really banging on the door, I quickly I put an image 18:25 in David's bed to make it look like he was asleep. 18:28 It was the same size as David, and I put some coats 18:32 here on the pillow, so it looked like his hair. 18:34 I prayed that it would work. When I opened the door 18:37 I told them that David was sick, 18:40 I pledged with them to leave him alone. Well, 18:43 they came in and took one look at him on his bed 18:46 and thinking that he must be terribly ill not to awakened 18:49 they left. Oh so relieved, but they didn't stay calm 18:54 long. Saul was so mad, he told them you go back there 19:01 and you bring David bed and all. They had to obey him. 19:05 Again they knocked down on my door not as loud 19:09 this time. They knew that David was terribly sick; 19:11 I quietly let them into David's room. 19:14 They started to pick up the bed and then realized 19:18 I had fooled them. But you know I think they were 19:22 secretly glad because everybody loves David. 19:25 I thanked God, and prayed again that he would keep 19:29 my husband safe. My father wasn't happy with me 19:32 when he found out. He gave me quite a talking too, 19:36 but I didn't care. I love David. 19:40 I wonder where he is. Oh, I miss him. I'm glad 19:42 though that God could use me if only in a small 19:48 way I really believe that David is God's man. 19:52 My father may be the King but I choose to live for God 19:58 and follow my husband's example. 20:01 I want to be gentle and wise, always honoring God. 20:05 Thanks for listening to my story. I do feel better. 20:09 I suppose I should get back to the palace now, 20:13 and I think I'll put these flowers in the window. 20:17 They can remind me that God always protects his children. 20:44 Every good gift comes from above, comes from above. 20:52 Every perfect gift comes from God above 21:01 Every good gift comes from above, comes from above. 21:08 Every perfect gift comes from God above. 21:17 Every good gift comes from above, comes from above. 21:25 Every perfect gift comes from God above. James 1:17. 21:47 Thank you to the Bond family for that beautiful song. 21:49 Don't you love that all that family harmony? 21:51 Well boys and girls, it's mailbox time, 21:53 and I am going to check the mailbox, 21:55 and we have lots of mail today. 21:57 I don't want to miss even one, 22:00 and I have mail from Washington, and New York, 22:04 and Poland, Bahamas, a lot of different places today. 22:10 But before I read the letters I'd like you to meet 22:13 my friend Alonda, and this is Alonda Powell. Hi Alonda. 22:17 Hi. Thank you for being with me today. 22:19 You're welcome. Well, I want to know 22:22 you've got quite a ministry you do for Jesus 22:24 don't you. Yes. And can you share with the boys and girls 22:27 at home, what it is that you do for Jesus. 22:29 Yes, how I share Jesus was I passed out magazines 22:35 with Bible stories and stories in them. 22:38 That's wonderful, that's awesome. 22:41 I though they want to know more about Jesus, 22:44 so I made my own Bible study with the help of my mom 22:48 and brothers and sisters. You did, did you bring 22:51 something like that that you can show me today. 22:53 Yes. Can I see it. This is. Now how did you make your 22:59 Bible studies? What I did was I put the Ten Commandments 23:03 on the front of it and then I put like a story inside 23:08 and then questions and facts on the back. 23:12 So, take a look at one of these, this is really nice. 23:14 So you have, you have a text that's on the outside, 23:18 a Bible text, and then you have Ten Commandments text. 23:21 Something in the Ten Commandments. 23:22 Okay and this says Exodus 23, you have on the outside, 23:27 and then inside it has the more like a Bible story. 23:30 That matches with the Commandments saying it's 23:34 like, it's like illustrating the Commandments. 23:37 Illustrating the Commandments that's wonderful. 23:38 And then you have also like a little quiz afterwards 23:41 to make sure they understood what you were telling 23:44 them in the story and isn't this nice way, 23:47 a nice way to show boys and girls how to learn more 23:52 about Jesus. That is so wonderful, 23:54 and how many do you have there? 23:55 I have four of the Ten Commandments. 23:59 So, are you making other Bible stories too? 24:02 Yes. This is like a Bible study packet right. 24:05 And now what do you do with those? 24:06 I'm planning to go back out where I passed out 24:10 the magazines and pass these out. 24:13 And when you were passing these out the magazines, 24:16 how did people respond to you. 24:17 They said thank you and took them. 24:19 They did, did you have anybody that was mean 24:21 or nasty and said no, thank you No. 24:24 No, they all took them and you were happy for them 24:29 Here is a picture of us, that's me, my mom 24:31 and my brother passing out them in the projects. 24:34 Okay, let me see here, this is a nice picture right here, 24:39 and this is a picture of you actually passing them 24:41 out at the different, it's called the projects. Yes. 24:44 Is this in Georgia? Yes. Now, that's really nice, 24:48 I really like that.

Isn't that a beautiful smile boys and 25:00 girls? I love that smile and what do you; 25:03 when you smile like that what do people do, 25:07 what do most people do? 25:08 They usually just smile back at me. 25:10 Well, that's right, we can always pass, 25:12 you think you're too little or your not talented, 25:15 you can't share Jesus; you can smile because 25:17 when you have a smile on your face it shows 25:20 you have a smile in your heart that's there because 25:22 of Jesus. So share a smile with someone today. 25:25 Well thank you Alonda, I have a letter here, 25:27 that I want to read, and can you hold that picture 25:31 up for me. Sure. This letter is from West Virginia, 25:35 I don't think I received a letter from West Virginia 25:38 before, so that's kind of nice. Says dear 25:40 Ms. Brenda, my name is Michael and I am five years 25:43 old. I share Jesus by sharing my most favorite toys 25:46 and trucks with our little neighbor boy. I made Jesus, 25:49 it says I made Jese and the little boy very happy, 25:52 and I also gave him one of my toy cars. 25:55 Do you think Jesus was happy? Your friend, Michael. 25:58 Well, you know what Michael, yes I do. 25:59 I think he was very happy. And I also have another 26:03 one here from Washington and this letter says, 26:07 dear Brenda how I share Jesus is that I pray 26:11 and ask Jesus every night to bless 3ABN.
