00:03 It's time to share there is a world out
00:06 there looking for a friend like Jesus, 00:10 it's time to share there is a world out there 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kids time, Kids time, Kids time. 00:25 Oh, oh Hi boys and girls. 00:29 Oh I think I'm getting sick, I think I might 00:32 even have a fever. And I was sitting here and 00:35 thinking maybe I'm gonna take some 00:37 medicine here to make me feel better. 00:41 Okay I'm not really sick. I was just pretending, 00:44 but if I were sick and if didn't have a fever, 00:47 you know sometimes a cool damp cloth on 00:51 my forehead would make me feel so good 00:53 and sometimes medicine makes us still better too 00:55 to help us fight off disease and make the 00:58 fever go away. But in Bible times people didn't 01:01 have as much knowledge about the human body 01:03 as we do today. They did however observe 01:06 some things in nature that would help them 01:08 when they were sick. Did you know for example, 01:11 olive oil when they often take them and 01:15 used it to like if you're skin was very dry 01:18 or maybe a remedy for various types of wounds. 01:22 You might remember that the Good Samaritan, 01:24 a great Bible character he poured olive oil and 01:27 wine into the wounds of the man who had been 01:29 beaten up and left by the side of the road to die. 01:32 You know the oil would have soothed these wounds 01:35 and the alcohol and the wine probably would 01:37 have sterilized it. People in Bible times also used 01:41 various herbs and plants, in an effort to cure 01:44 sickness. They prepared various ointments 01:47 and powders from growing plants. 01:50 No doubt you've heard of frankincense and myrrh, 01:53 you remember that two of the gifts that the 01:54 wise men brought from baby Jesus. 01:56 They came from shrubs and trees and they were 02:00 used in remedies to stop bleeding, to clean 02:02 and heal wounds as far as other elements, 02:05 people even tried to mend cracked skulls with them, 02:08 can you imagine that. Today myrrh is known 02:12 to slow down the growth of bacteria and although 02:15 people in Bible times didn't know anything 02:17 about bacteria. They did observe that somehow 02:20 it works on the wounds and the sores. 02:22 Today's Bible stories tell us about a little girl 02:26 who was very sick. Today she probably would 02:29 have recovered very quickly with the dose of 02:30 penicillin or some other antibiotic, but there were 02:34 no antibiotics in Bible times. And a few pitiful 02:37 remedies that the doctor could offer were 02:39 often helpless. So what happened to that 02:43 little girl? Did she die? Why is her story in the 02:48 Bible at all? Well you will learn all about it 02:51 as you listen to our story today. 02:53 But picking of plants, Ranger Jim 02:55 has something to show us right now. 03:05 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying 03:06 welcome to Nature Time. Look what I have 03:09 for you today. You're gonna say Ranger Jim 03:11 is getting desperate, now he's gonna start 03:12 talking about weeds. Well, this is the Canadian 03:15 thistle and if you have a farm you know that 03:18 they are something that grows in the pasture 03:21 or sometime grows in the garden. 03:22 And every one hates the thistle because it 03:25 has protection. It has these spines that stick 03:27 out and cows don't like them, they can't feed 03:31 around them, but I have learned recently there 03:33 is one creature that loves them, that's the camel, 03:36 because the camel has very thick callus like lips 03:39 they just come up and munch them down 03:41 and enjoy them and so this is something else 03:43 that happens. Over here we have these 03:45 tiny little pods that form and there on end 03:49 of those we have some seeds and they're like 03:53 little tiny parachute when they come out of 03:56 there that's way it propagates or the way 03:58 it reproduces and when they would like go of 04:01 them they'd flow, well these are not gonna 04:02 fly away, because they're a little bit wet. 04:04 And but that's way that happens. 04:07 But on the end are tiny little seeds and there 04:09 is a bird that we have that's called a canary, 04:14 some people called it but they're not really that. 04:16 They are goldfinch but they come and pick these out, 04:19 they sit there and pull these out and take this 04:22 seed off the end, thank you very much, 04:23 thank you, take some more and eat them like that 04:26 and enjoy them. So you see there is something good, 04:28 they're beautiful to look at. They produce seed for 04:32 the birds and do all kind of nice things, 04:35 if we look at any kind of plant we will find that. 04:37 Even those that some people find objectionable. 04:40 We find that they are very, very useful and helpful. 04:43 Look at this beautiful plant. Isn't this beautiful? 04:46 Oh if you suffer from hay fever or if you 04:49 have problems, you're sneezing and coughing 04:51 and all. Many people don't like this. 04:53 Boys and girls this produces some of the 04:55 most wonderful honey you can imagine. 04:58 Right now Ranger Jim has bees at home 05:01 and my bees they love this. 05:04 And for years my wife and I had an observation 05:06 hive in the kitchen. We had a tube that 05:08 went outside, the bees could go out and bring 05:10 in the goldenrod nectar. My wife used to say phew, 05:14 I'll be glad when the goldenrod flow is over 05:17 because when the bees are evaporating 05:18 the excess moisture out of the goldenrod nectar 05:21 it has a sour smell to it. My wife would open 05:24 the windows, but she always let me keep 05:26 my beehive in there, because she loves me 05:28 special you know but this is a wonderful plant. 05:30 Not so showy as is a rose or something like that, 05:33 but it's a wonderful source of nectar and 05:36 pollen to all kinds of insects. So we see once 05:39 again with the goldenrod even though it causes 05:42 problem for people that have an asthmatic 05:43 condition, that is also a wonderful plant. 05:46 We have another little plant here this is called 05:49 smartweed and why they call it smartweed 05:52 I don't know, but it also true these things grow 05:55 in flower beds in garden and they expand 05:58 and there maybe a plant this big. 06:00 And they would try to smother out smaller plants 06:02 or flowers and all. They're actually are a 06:04 beautiful flowers themselves, when they 06:06 interfere with our flower beds we gardeners 06:08 called them weeds right, but this also is a 06:11 wonderful source of nectar for bees as well 06:15 as other insects that live on the sweet juice of 06:18 the blossoms, so that's the smartweed. 06:20 Boys and girls you can get a book. 06:22 There is a little golden series of books that 06:24 you can get of flowers. I would encourage 06:26 you to get one of those and just go for a walk 06:28 around your house even if you live in town 06:31 you can find wild flowers in different parts 06:33 of the park and what have you, 06:34 learn to identify them, that as you go along 06:36 with your friends you can say. 06:37 Oh yes, this is this kind of plant and that kind 06:39 of plant and when you learn more about them 06:41 everyone of them you will say, wasn't that 06:44 need how God made that. I'm getting to be 06:47 old man now, but I still am thrilled, when I can 06:50 go for a walk, go out in the woods and look at 06:52 that and say isn't that neat, my father made that, 06:54 that is just wonderful. Well we have another 06:57 plant here and this one is an aster, 06:59 has beautiful blossoms on it, lovely yellow 07:03 center, it's called frost aster, is called 07:05 frost aster, because it always comes into 07:08 full blossom late in the summer near frost time 07:11 and even after it frost once or twice. 07:13 The frost aster was still be blossoming. 07:15 The bees hurry out there and bring in their pollen, 07:18 bring it up and start filling up their cells, 07:21 because pollen for the bee is like bread for us 07:24 so they can have their honey and they can have 07:26 their bread all winter.. So this is a wonderful 07:29 source of pollen for our friends the bees 07:32 and other insects as well. To feed upon, 07:35 to make preparation for the winter coming. 07:37 So boys and girls I hope that you would learn 07:39 when we are studying these kind of plants and 07:42 things like this. Can you see when you're very 07:44 young that even in a weed we sometimes call them, 07:47 we see the hand of God. He's great creating 07:50 ability So boys and girls, don't forget to tell 07:53 Jesus that you love him 07:54 because he really does love you. 08:09 Uncle Buddy, what's wrong. I think it's broke. 08:13 You try it. It's broke, what? 08:18 Look there's Ms. Brenda. Hey Buddy, 08:23 hey Kids. Hi Ms. Brenda. What seems to be the 08:28 problem? We think it's broke.

All we have to do is ask. 09:52 Did you ever talk to God above? 09:56 Tell Him that you need a friend to love. 10:00 Pray in Jesus' name believing 10:04 that God answers prayer. 10:08 Have you told Him all your cares and woes? 10:12 Every tiny little fear He knows. 10:16 You can know He'll always hear 10:19 And He will answer prayer. 10:23 You can whisper in a crowd to Him. 10:28 You can cry when You're alone to Him. 10:32 You don't have to pray out loud to Him; 10:36 He knows your thoughts. 10:40 On a lofty mountain peak, He's there. 10:44 In a meadow by a stream, He's there. 10:48 Anywhere on earth you go, 10:51 He's been there from the start. 10:55 Find the answer in His Word; it's true. 11:00 You'll be strong because He walks with you. 11:03 By His faithfulness He'll change you, too. 11:07 God answers prayer. 12:59 Oh grapes I love grapes. Can I have some? 13:02 Don't bother her. No, no, it's okay, 13:04 come I love company. Here you can have some grapes. 13:09 We're having a big celebration today. 13:11 Hey you guys should come, we're gonna have lots 13:14 of singing and good food. What's the 13:16 celebration all about? Oh I'm so glad you've asked, 13:19 I love to tell my story to everyone. 13:22 Here have some more. Did you guys have a 13:23 couple of minutes to talk? Oh sure. 13:26 Okay, well lets see, it started about this time 13:31 last year, me and my friends were outside 13:34 playing just over there. I think. 13:36 And all of sudden I just even feel so good. 13:39 My whole body was just hurting and do you guys 13:42 know how you got a headache and your 13:43 head is just pounding. Yeah well my head was 13:46 hurting so bad. So I went to see my mom. 13:49 She always knows what to do when I'm sick. 13:51 So I went inside and she put a cold rag on my head 13:55 and hide me away down. Oh all of sudden 13:57 I just wasn't just feeling good and my stomach 14:00 started to hurt and my head hurt and well 14:03 really everything hurt and finally she was like, 14:06 she had to call the doctor and so he came to check 14:09 me out and he gave me some medicine 14:11 and had me lay down again and I just didn't 14:14 feel any better. My stomach was still hurting 14:17 and everything, so my mom had to call the 14:19 doctor again. And when my doctor came the 14:22 second time, he walked at me and shook his head, 14:26 because he couldn't do anything about me and 14:28 my mom started to get really worried and 14:30 she started crying and then she did something, 14:33 she went and talked to my, one of the servants 14:35 and she said go sent for her father at once 14:39 and you guys know my father is Jairus right? 14:41 Yeah one of the most important rulers in the 14:44 whole city. She went and called for him. 14:47 My mother never calls for Jairus for anything, 14:50 so I knew something must be terrible wrong. 14:53 And you know what, that was the last thing 14:55 I remember. I just went right to sleep, 14:57 I didn't hear anything, I couldn't feel anything, 15:00 I didn't see anything either, 15:02 because you know what? I died. You died, 15:05 what do you mean you died? Yeah well 15:08 I don't know how it was all of sudden 15:10 I was just thinking something terribly 15:12 and all of a sudden I just fell asleep. 15:14 It was the weirdest thing and you know what? 15:15 I couldn't be a hero to tell you anything. 15:18 If my parents wouldn't have filled me in on 15:19 the rest of story. So I'll tell you what happened. 15:22 My father Jairus came home and he saw me 15:25 mourning and tossing and turning and I was 15:28 having such a bad headache and he felt 15:30 awful and my mom told him that there was 15:32 nothing the doctors could do. 15:34 And he loves me so much and he felt so bad 15:37 that I was going through so much pain and 15:39 he knew that if he didn't get help soon that 15:42 I was going to die. So he came by my bed side 15:46 and he told my mom he said, I've got to go 15:48 find something and he said I heard about Jesus 15:52 the great teacher and he's been doing 15:54 miraculous all over. Have you guys heard of Jesus. 15:56 Yeah the great. Yeah who hasn't, right. 15:59 He's been everywhere, well my father went to 16:02 go find him and he said that the clouds were 16:05 so thick he couldn't see what it was. 16:07 He didn't know whether if it was a festival 16:09 or if there was Jesus, he don't know 16:10 what's going on. So he had physically push 16:13 and shove his way in the Jesus. 16:15 So when he finally we got down. Listen to this, 16:18 he bowed down to Jesus. Yeah, my father bowing 16:22 down I know he doesn't bowed down to any one 16:24 I've seen people bow down to him. 16:26 He really was worried about me. 16:28 So he begged Jesus to come to my house, 16:30 'cause he knew that he could heal me. 16:32 And Jesus said he'd come. When they were walking 16:35 down the path. One of servants came up to 16:37 him really sad and said Jesus he don't need to 16:40 come any more, your daughter's died to 16:43 my dad and Jesus said the weirdest thing, 16:47 he said don't worry she is just sleeping. 16:49 Now that's really weird if I'm dead right. 16:52 Well they kept on going and there was all these 16:54 loud mourners. You guys have heard mourners, 16:56 haven't you when someone dies. 16:58 It is so fake they get paid to cry at funerals. 17:02 Well when they heard Jesus said that 17:04 I was only sleeping. They started to laugh; 17:06 they thought it was so funny and so. 17:09 Wow what were their names. 17:11 Jesus had three followers with him. 17:13 I think it was Peter, James and John. 17:15 Yeah those were the guys and Jesus had them 17:18 and my parents and they went up to my bedroom 17:21 and my mother said that Jesus place his hand 17:24 on me and looked in my face with the most of the 17:27 loving kind of face and said little girl arise 17:32 and this is part I remember. 17:33 I remember falling asleep and waking up 17:36 it was like the shortest nap I've ever had and 17:39 I woke up and I looked into the eyes of the 17:41 most of the loving, kindest person I'd ever met. 17:43 It was like he knew me. It was like he'd known 17:46 me my whole life and he loved me still even 17:49 though when I made those mistakes and 17:52 you know. You know how parents love you, right? 17:54 It was totally different I mean, he, he raised me 17:58 and he put my hand in my mom's hand and 18:00 I noticed my mom and my dad had tears in 18:03 their eyes and come to think of it even 18:05 Peter and John. James and john were crying also. 18:10 It was the just most awesome feeling and 18:12 he gave me a hug and I just wanted to stay 18:15 there forever, I didn't want him to leave, 18:17 and he looked at me and he said he had to leave. 18:20 so we got ready me and my family went outside 18:23 and you should have seen those people faces, 18:26 all those mourners that had been so like crying 18:30 and it's upset. They were just; they couldn't believe 18:34 really what had would happen. 18:35 And you know what they might go and talk, 18:36 go home to tell their family what had happen to me. 18:39 And you know what Jesus is giving life today 18:42 to everyone. Now I'm just a same kind of life 18:45 that he gave to me. But he's giving everyone a 18:47 peace and happiness in their hearts to go help 18:50 other people and help the herd and the helpless. 18:54 Jesus gives me excitement to go tell my story. 18:58 Oh but look at the time we should probably go. 19:01 Do guys help me to carry the grapes? Sure, 19:03 we'd be happy to, we are ready. 20:32 Thank you for that beautiful song 20:33 I enjoyed it so much and I hope you did too. 20:36 Well right now I'd like you to meet a special 20:38 friend of mine.

I share Jesus with my schoolmates. 25:43 She slipped from the stairs and I caught 25:46 her suddenly and took her to the school nurse. 25:48 She wasn't a Christian, but she saw Jesus in me. 25:51 Please include her in your prayers too. 25:53 God bless her, as well as you Miss Brenda. 25:56 We love Kid's Time from God's daughter Joline. 25:59 Joline, thank you so much for your letter 26:01 and you know what boys and girls I want 26:02 you to pray for Joline's country that every 26:05 people every where will get to know about Jesus 26:07 and worship openly.
