00:03 It's time to share there is a world out there
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus, 00:09 it's time to share there is 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. 00:25 Hi boys and girls, have you ever seen a broom 00:27 like this before. Do you know my friend Kim Smith made 00:30 this for me and she did such a nice job, 00:33 she took a stick that was out in her woods and she 00:36 just smoothed it off right here and then she took 00:38 some straw and she tied it all around the stick with 00:42 some of this twine right here. Didn't she do a good job. 00:45 Do you know if you lived in a place that didn't have 00:48 any factories that can make a broom. 00:49 You'd have to make your own wouldn't you? 00:53 And you know what there are some places in the world 00:55 today that don't have broom factories and so they 00:58 probably have brooms that look a lot like this. 01:00 Now, watch me sweep the floor with this broom. 01:03 Let's see, yes it works doesn't it? And it does a 01:07 really good job but oh my aching back. 01:13 Bending over this way and sweeping for only a 01:15 few minutes wouldn't be very comfortable for me. 01:17 It's a very short handle. Our Bible story today 01:22 however tells us about a woman who used her broom 01:24 like this and she swept and swept and swept. 01:27 Not because their floor was dirty, 01:30 but because she was looking for something and finding it, 01:33 it was important to her that she never gave her aching 01:36 back a second thought. Have you ever wanted 01:39 something badly enough to go through all kinds 01:42 of hardship to obtain it. I wonder if, 01:44 if it was something that you wanted really bad like 01:47 maybe a new bike or really nice clothes, 01:51 a pair of sneakers or may be it was a CD 01:55 or a week at camp. Whatever it was, 01:58 you may have had to work very hard to save 02:01 your money for it or may be go without some special 02:03 treat so that you can get something important. 02:06 You'll find that the woman in our Bible story today, 02:09 she was looking something important too, 02:12 but you know I think there is something we can learn 02:14 about searching for things. The first thing is, 02:17 is that Jesus wants us to search for him and 02:21 we can do this by praying and by reading our Bibles 02:23 and listening to character building stories 02:26 and by going to church. The second thing we can learn 02:30 is that Jesus is searching for us even harder 02:33 than we are searching for him. 02:35 Every time you have an impulse to go and do the right 02:38 thing or to talk with him. That's because Jesus 02:41 is whispering to you and he's saying come, 02:44 come a little closer, be my friend. 02:47 I have done everything I can for you, 02:50 even died for you, so please won't you make 02:53 me your best friend, won't you make me the most 02:56 important thing in your life. Boys and girls 02:58 I want you to chose Jesus and I promise that you'll 03:02 never be sorry for that decision. 03:04 Now Ranger Jim is going to take us on a cruise 03:07 down the river and we are 03:09 going to see some wild animals. 03:18 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 03:20 to Nature Time. We're back in Florida Silver Springs, 03:23 a beautiful park and we're enjoying some of these 03:25 creatures. My friend Jesse is with us again today. 03:28 Jesse what is this we're looking at? 03:29 These are monkeys. These are monkeys, 03:31 are Colobus monkeys and you'll notice a long white 03:34 tail, the white cape. They're beautiful they're tree 03:36 dwellers, they stay up and they're way high in the 03:38 tops of the trees and of course that means 03:40 they're gonna eat the leaves up the tops of trees and Jim, 03:43 you'll see a variety of Lemurs, red ruffed Lemurs, 03:46 guenons. We have the Sable Antelope off to the left 03:50 and something unique about taking care of animals 03:52 and this is, a lot of children don't realize. 03:54 It's the dedication, you have to go out everyday, 03:57 you have to look at the animals and nutrition is very 04:00 important and of course the medication. 04:02 We've got keepers on the bank over here taking care 04:04 of Sable Antelope. Now, these Sable Antelope are 04:07 almost a symbol of Africa. They actually use a Sable 04:10 Antelope, beautiful and you will see the beautiful 04:12 giant shaped horns, that is the symbol of Africa 04:16 and it shows what that continent has to offer. 04:18 Here at Silver Springs we have a lot 04:19 of these African animals. Of course again the keepers 04:22 of these animals they have to know the animals. 04:25 They have to know what nutrition and they have 04:27 to see if the animal is limping a little bit. 04:29 It would be something in the hoof. 04:31 There would be something wrong with the horns 04:33 and of course everything is very important here. 04:35 We have to balance and we try to recreate what would 04:38 happen in Africa on the river banks here. 04:40 We've got a large variety of animals here on the banks. 04:43 It just takes that dedication doesn't it, 04:45 and boys and girls you may hear some different sounds 04:47 today and this is very different, 04:49 very difficult for our crew, because they have to 04:52 flitch from side to side and we even are meeting 04:54 other boats as we go along this river as you will do 04:57 if you come to this park, but all of these beautiful 04:59 creatures are out in a natural setting where you can see 05:02 them. Oh we have another monkey over here, 05:03 the same kind of monkey. He is taking it easy. 05:06 Yes, yes. That's a Colobus and again these animals 05:09 go a 100 foot the tops of the trees and they'll get 05:12 those new shoots, the new leaves and they'll eat. 05:14 And they eat most of the day and then of course 05:17 you can see what they do the rest of the day. 05:18 They take it easy. Rest of the day and at night 05:20 they better sleep in the trees as well for protection. 05:23 Yes, yes. Very, very, very, very interesting, 05:26 all kind of creatures here, all kind of trees 05:29 that you will see as we travel along and over on the 05:32 side end. Did I see an ostrich over there on the side, 05:35 yes. I thought I saw an ostrich. Yes, we do that's, 05:38 those animals get over 9 feet tall and can run more 05:41 than 40 miles an hour. They run very fast. 05:43 That is the fastest creature on the earth that God 05:45 made on two legs. The Cheetah with four legs 05:50 can run faster than that, but the Ostrich perhaps 05:53 has the greatest stamina, it can run 40 miles 05:55 an hour for 20 minutes. And unlike other birds, 05:58 they're non-flighted. Right. They can't fly, 06:02 but God gave every creature some method of escape, 06:04 sure, and that, their method of escape is their speed 06:06 that they can runway from any creature that gets 06:09 after them, they run away. Absolutely. 06:10 And I have some ostrich eggs that are this big around 06:12 and they are of interest to boys and girls too. 06:14 Boys and girls as we travel along where you won't be 06:16 seeing animals and things of that nature, 06:19 as you can see along the sides, 06:21 they are beautiful cypress trees, cypress knees, 06:24 there is palm trees, there is Brazilian peppers 06:28 and all kind of beautiful things for you to see. 06:31 As you travel along we find ourselves saying oh, 06:33 ah and everyone now is trying to be quite on this boat. 06:36 And on the boat you come and when you're 06:38 traveling through it. You'll be jumping up and 06:40 saying look here, look there, oh isn't this beautiful, 06:42 I assure you. In fact, in fact, yes Jesse says he 06:45 acknowledges you, in fact over on our right now 06:47 there is a bunch of logs where a tree has been 06:49 blown down across and someone cut the trees down, 06:51 but beside it there is something beside it. 06:53 You wouldn't even normally see would you, 06:55 he is so well camouflaged. He blends in doesn't he. 06:57 He really blends in. Now see he's getting sun 06:59 right there. He's getting a lot of sun in the day time. 07:01 It's gonna help keep him warm at night time. 07:03 That's, he is going to store that and also along side 07:06 of these spaces you will see turtles here and as you 07:09 go along, the gators will dig a hole back under a bank 07:12 and it will be above have an area where he can breath, 07:16 get air there and when the weather gets very colder 07:18 even in Florida, he goes under water and he can 07:21 stay there and as you said before in one of our 07:24 segments only alligator, the crocodile, 07:26 their heartbeat slows down to three or four beats 07:28 a minute and they can stay under water if necessary 07:30 for as much as two hours, so it is just tremendous 07:32 boys and girls. You can tell if you watch our 07:35 show regularly, you know when Ranger Jim 07:37 gets excited and Ranger Jim is excited about this, 07:40 because this is a beautiful place and as I've said 07:43 before you want to come and see this, 07:45 so boys and girls, this is Ranger Jim as always 07:48 telling you. Don't forget to tell Jesus 07:50 that you love him, because he really does love you. 08:02 Hello boys and girls, Ben has a scripture for us. 08:06 For God so loved the world that He gave His 08:08 only begotten Son, that whoever shall believe in Him 08:10 shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16. 08:16 God's love goes all over the world. 08:22 God's love goes all over the world, 08:26 all over the world, all over the world. 08:29 God's love goes all over the world, 08:31 to every boy and girl. From the city on the mountain 08:35 to the village by the sea, 08:38 God's love goes all over the world. 08:44 Some children in Australia and over in Hong Kong, 08:48 so that his way down in Africa, 08:50 he loves them all day long, if you go all the way up 08:54 to Greenland, you'll find his love there too. 08:58 It doesn't matter where you go. 09:00 God loves me and you. God's love goes all over the world, 09:05 all over the world, all over the world. 09:07 God's love goes all over the world, 09:10 to every boy and girl, from the city on the mountain 09:14 to the village by the sea. God's love goes 09:18 all over the world. Some children live 09:23 in Vietnam and others live in Spain. 09:26 There languages are different, 09:29 but God loves them just the same. 09:32 Young ones there in Scotland are precious to him 09:35 too. It doesn't matter where you go, 09:38 God loves me and you. 09:41 God's love goes all over the world, 09:43 all over the world, all over the world. 09:46 God's love goes all over the world, 09:48 to every boy and girl, from the city on the mountain 09:52 to the village by the sea. 09:56 God's love goes all over the world. 10:00 If you travel north to Canada or to the Isle of Vis, 10:05 you'll find his love is just strong as in the Middle East. 10:10 For God has made each boy and girl, 10:12 each man and woman too and it doesn't matter 10:16 where you go, God loves me and you. 10:20 God's love goes all over the world, 10:22 all over the world, all over the world. 10:25 God's love goes all over the world to every boy and girl, 10:29 from the city on the mountain to the village 10:32 by the sea, God's love goes all over the world. 10:39 God's love goes all over the world. 12:30 Come on Tessa, let's pick up some twigs, 12:32 we need to get that fire started, 12:34 'cause we need to get these sweet cakes baked. 12:38 That's so much fun getting ready for a party. 12:39 Isn't it? Oh you know lets use our best dishes, 12:43 they'll be so pretty and just yesterday I noticed 12:49 that the grapes are ripe over under that big old tree. 12:52 We can squeeze some fresh grape juice. Honey, 12:55 you just finish picking up those twigs for the 12:57 fire and I'll get started making the sweet cakes, 13:00 because we need to get them baking in time. 13:03 Hello, we were so busy we didn't notice you. 13:06 There is so much to do to get ready. 13:09 We're going to have a party. We just love spending 13:12 time with our friends and parties are so much fun. 13:15 Why just a few minutes ago we finished cleaning 13:18 our little house. It didn't take long. 13:20 It just has one room. We have freshly washed our clothes. 13:24 This is such a special day, oh I haven't told 13:28 you why we are having a party. Now, that's the best 13:31 part. Are you all done? Good job, 13:34 you got a lot of twigs there for the fire. 13:36 Would you like to help me make some of these little 13:38 sweet cakes? Where we live, all of the ladies know 13:42 how important it is to teach our daughters properly. 13:46 They have to learn to make the bread and bake 13:47 it on the fire. They help us start weaving clothes 13:50 while they're still young. We want them to be able 13:53 to do it for their own families when they get old 13:55 enough to have families. Of course the most important 13:58 thing we want them to learn is to trust God 14:02 and yesterday Tessa and I had our faith renewed. 14:06 You see we have a special tradition here in the East, 14:09 when a woman gets married, her mother gets 14:12 her one or a few very precious silver coins. 14:16 My mother and her mother and I guess our 14:20 grandmothers all through the generations have passed 14:22 on a silver coin. It belongs to me now and I hide 14:26 it carefully as the most cherished possession. 14:30 Some day when Tessa gets old enough and when 14:33 she gets married I'm going to give it to her. 14:37 Well, I had decided that Tessa was old enough 14:40 to understand the importance of that silver coin. 14:44 We took a walk across the field and sat in the 14:46 grass under the Oak tree. She sat in my lap while 14:49 I told her about the precious silver coin. 14:52 I explained how it is so important to keep it safe. 14:54 Well, she was very eager to see it. 14:57 She begged me to show it to her. 15:00 She promised that she wouldn't touch it without 15:03 my permission. So, we hurried home and I pulled 15:06 a small stool over to stand on, so I could reach 15:09 way up over the window where I had 15:11 it on a small shelf. I reached behind some cloth 15:14 that I have up there and I pulled out a small pouch. 15:19 It jingled as I carefully lifted it down. 15:22 I keep my other coins in there as well so that 15:24 they will be safe. I reached in feeling for the coin, 15:28 it wasn't there, oh I put the bag out on the window ledge, 15:32 looking for that silver coin, it was gone. 15:35 Oh where could it be? I was horrified, 15:38 where could it have gone? I climbed back up 15:42 onto the stool you're right, it is here. 15:43 I climbed back onto the stool and I shook out the cloth. 15:47 I pulled all of the big bells down and I looked inside, 15:52 no silver coin, I was crying now. 15:56 Tessa, she saw my tears, she grabbed the broom, 15:59 we swept the floor, not just once but twice. 16:04 We looked under the bed and in the corners. 16:06 I even moved the table to see if a leg was on top 16:09 of that coin, nothing. Well, Tessa took my hand. 16:14 She said remember mommy, you told me when 16:17 I needed help I should ask God. Let's ask him 16:20 to help us find that coin. He knows where it is, 16:23 so right there on the floor we knelt together 16:26 and asked God to help us. Well, it was getting dark 16:29 outside by now and we only have one window 16:32 in our small house, so there was no light shining 16:35 in anymore and Tessa got a candle. 16:37 I helped her light it and this time we crawled 16:41 on our hands and our knees and we looked under the table 16:44 and under the bed. The little light of the candle was 16:47 flickering on the walls. We crawled around the room 16:50 one last time and then just below the window something 16:55 glittered in the light of the candle. 16:58 Sure enough I held the candle closer and then there 17:02 was my precious silver coin. We wept together 17:06 with relief and there on our knees we praised 17:10 and thanked God. Look, here is the old pouch 17:15 that I keep my coins in. A mouse must have chewed 17:19 this hole in it. The coin must have slipped out down, 17:23 down behind that shelf and fallen into that crack 17:25 next to the wall, so that's why we're having 17:27 a party. Our friends know how terrible it is to lose 17:31 that silver coin, they want to celebrate with us 17:35 and since it looks like you have plenty of sticks 17:38 Tessa. We're better get these sweet cakes baking, 17:41 we need to hurry. I just love telling everyone about 17:45 God's faithfulness. Did you know that you are 17:49 very precious to God. You know in fact you are more 17:53 precious to him than my silver coin is to me 17:57 and that's pretty special. Here you go, 17:59 you wanna put that on for me? Remember, 18:02 God loves you so much, come on Tessa, 18:06 let's go get ready for the party. 18:33 He hath showed me, O man, what is good; 18:41 and what doth the Lord require of thee, 18:49 but to do justly, and to love mercy, 18:58 and to walk humbly with thy God. 19:10 He hath showed me, O man, what is good; 19:19 and what doth the Lord require of thee, 19:26 but to do justly, and to love mercy, 19:35 and to walk humbly with thy God. 19:43 But to do justly, and to love mercy, 19:51 and to walk humbly with thy God. 20:26 Thanks to the Bond family for that beautiful song. 20:29 Well, boys and girls I'm sitting here reading all 20:32 the letters from you and I'm going to share some of them 20:34 with you.

And let see what the letter says, okay. 21:24 It says dear Miss Brenda, my name is Lenneth and 21:29 I'm 13 years old and I'm in the six grade. 21:32 I know that I might be a little too old to be writing 21:35 to you. I wanted to first of all tell you that I've been 21:38 watching your program and I have enjoyed it very much, 21:41 second of all I wanted to ask you if you could send me 21:43 an activity book please and I also need an extra 21:47 one because I have two brothers and one of them 21:49 is named Omar and he is ten years old and he is in the 21:52 fourth grade. The other one is Abner and he is only 21:56 four months old, that's why I didn't asked for three books. 21:59 I really love him, I would really appreciate it if you 22:02 could write back to me thank you love and your 22:05 friend Lenneth, Omar and Abner and P.S. 22:09 I will be praying for you.

I just love those pictures 22:52 boys and girls. I love to see what you look like when 22:55 you write nice letters like this and telling me how you 22:57 share Jesus. Oh look, we got a picture that someone 23:00 colored for me, isn't that pretty? Okay, 23:03 let's see what the letter says. We've got another 23:06 picture too, oh here they are boys and girls, 23:10 it says dear Miss Brenda my name is Joshua 23:12 and I have a brother and his name is Josiah. 23:17 Joshua and Josiah, says I'm 11 years old my brother 23:21 is five years old. We love watching Kids Time 23:24 and we love you. The other day I witnessed for Jesus 23:28 by helping a man at the store and when he came 23:32 out of the store he dropped a $100 and wow my eyes 23:36 grew quickly big, but I picked it up and I gave it 23:40 to him. I think I shared Jesus, love Joshua and Josiah. 23:45 PS, can you send an activity book? Oh Josiah, 23:47 I'm so proud of you and I know you have made Jesus 23:49 very happy too, because you did do the right thing. 23:52 I'm sure Satan would have tempted you to keep 23:54 that $100, but would that be right? 23:56 No, and it's not worth missing heaven over is it? 23:59 So I'm really glad that you did the right thing. 24:03 Now, we have a letter from North Carolina and 24:06 this letter, see this, oops, I don't want to drop 24:10 anybody's picture here. Here is a picture right here 24:14 and this is from Melissa Guthrie and Melissa says, 24:18 dear Brenda, my name is Melissa and I'm seven 24:20 years old and I live in North Carolina, and it said, 24:24 we recently took a trip to Washington DC 24:27 and I was able to share Jesus with people 24:30 on the plane. You know I want to help tell the world 24:33 that Jesus is coming soon and one of the ways 24:35 I can do this is by helping my mother put Bible 24:38 stories at my father's office so that people can know 24:42 more about Jesus. Love, Melissa Guthrie. 24:45 Well, thank you Melissa and you know that is a wonderful 24:47 way to share Jesus. And let's see here I have, 24:51 let me read a email from you. I have an email 24:53 and this is from let's see, well this is from Sarah, 24:57 says hi, I'm writing on behalf of my three year old 25:00 daughter Caira Joseph from the beautiful Caribbean 25:03 Island of Saint Lucia. Oh I know it's beautiful there. 25:06 She certainly enjoys Kids Time up for the Bible 25:09 stories, music and other specials and it is indeed 25:12 a joy to know that kids share Jesus with their 25:15 friends in so many ways. We love sharing time. 25:17 Caira shares Jesus by singing the song. 25:20 She learns at church to her preschool classmates. 25:22 I don't have an email for Kids Time, 25:27 so I sent this to some, one else and hopes 25:29 it gets to you and also please say hi to Caira 25:33 on one of your programs and hopefully we'll get a 25:35 chance to see it. Make God richly bless you, 25:37 as you continue to proclaim that Jesus is alive 25:40 and will be here soon. We are praying for you. 25:43 Love, Sarah. Well, I'm glad that this did reach me, 25:47 but now our Kids Time address is, our e-mail address 25:51 is Kidstime@3abn.org okay, so maybe if I say 25:55 that a number of times people will remember that. 25:58 I'll put that down here and I think we might have 26:00 time for another letter here. So many letters 26:03 boys and girls, it's just never enough time is there. 26:05 This one is from Stephanie Allan, it says dear 26:08 Miss Brenda I love your show, 26:09 I like to watch it every Sabbath morning 26:11 with my grandma and I like to listen to the 26:13 letters that kids send you. I like it when other kids 26:16 send their pictures too. I like your Kids Time show 26:19 and I like to write my Grandma Grey and I like 26:22 to write my friends, love, Stephanie Allan. 26:24 Boys and girls, won't you too share Jesus, 26:27 remember he loves you and he is coming soon. 26:29 Remember it's Kids Time to share Jesus. |
