It's time to share
there's a world out
00:00:03.87\00:00:06.52
there looking for
a friend like Jesus,
00:00:06.53\00:00:10.08
it's time to
share there is a world
00:00:10.09\00:00:12.85
out there. Let's tell them
00:00:12.86\00:00:14.58
that He loves us
so. Let's tell them that
00:00:14.59\00:00:18.39
He loves us so. Kids time,
00:00:18.40\00:00:22.14
Kids time, Kids
time. Hi, boys and girls.
00:00:22.15\00:00:25.82
How do you like my
little bonsai tree?
00:00:25.83\00:00:28.13
Isn't it cute? Do you know,
00:00:28.14\00:00:30.15
you might think
that this is just a
00:00:30.16\00:00:31.68
baby tree and that it will get a
00:00:31.69\00:00:33.24
whole lot
bigger, but this tree is
00:00:33.25\00:00:35.73
as big as it will ever get.
00:00:35.74\00:00:37.67
It's called a bonsai
tree and it's carefully
00:00:37.68\00:00:41.98
grown in such a way that it will
00:00:41.99\00:00:43.28
always be
small. In today's Bible
00:00:43.29\00:00:46.52
story you are going
to hear about a tree
00:00:46.53\00:00:48.35
and it wasn't a
bonsai tree and it wasn't a
00:00:48.36\00:00:51.38
small tree
either, but the man who
00:00:51.39\00:00:53.88
climbed up into this
tree was so small that
00:00:53.89\00:00:57.26
we might even call
him the bonsai man.
00:00:57.27\00:00:59.39
He was all grown
up, he was smart and
00:00:59.40\00:01:02.87
he was educated
and he had a good job,
00:01:02.88\00:01:05.05
but he didn't
have a normal height.
00:01:05.06\00:01:07.17
The Bible doesn't
tell us whether or not
00:01:07.18\00:01:10.08
it bothered this man
to be shorter than the
00:01:10.09\00:01:12.01
other people,
but it does tell us
00:01:12.02\00:01:14.68
of one time when it
caused him a problem,
00:01:14.69\00:01:16.94
but not for long.
A little bonsai man,
00:01:16.95\00:01:20.32
he solved his
problem very quickly,
00:01:20.33\00:01:22.80
perhaps you have
something different
00:01:22.81\00:01:24.80
about you,
perhaps you're shorter
00:01:24.81\00:01:26.78
than all your
friends or maybe your
00:01:26.79\00:01:29.18
taller than all your friend,
00:01:29.19\00:01:30.97
and then they
feel like a big giant,
00:01:30.98\00:01:32.84
or perhaps you're the
only one in your class
00:01:32.85\00:01:35.21
with glasses or
maybe the only one in your
00:01:35.22\00:01:37.53
family with red
hair. If so, why not be
00:01:37.54\00:01:41.54
like our little bonsai
man in our story today.
00:01:41.55\00:01:44.04
Accept whatever
it is different about
00:01:44.05\00:01:46.84
yourself and face
it as a challenge,
00:01:46.85\00:01:49.42
never let it
hold you back in doing
00:01:49.43\00:01:51.81
something
worthwhile, you might even
00:01:51.82\00:01:54.02
begin to think of
yourself as lucky that
00:01:54.03\00:01:55.93
you're not just
like everybody else.
00:01:55.94\00:01:57.92
You know, I'm sure
that Jesus enjoys all the
00:01:57.93\00:02:02.04
differences he
sees in boys and girls
00:02:02.05\00:02:04.10
and grown ups
too, but before the
00:02:04.11\00:02:06.69
story Ranger Jim
is going to talk to us
00:02:06.70\00:02:08.98
about an insect
with its own differences
00:02:08.99\00:02:11.72
called a Praying Mantis.
00:02:11.73\00:02:14.37
Hi boys and
girls, Ranger Jim saying
00:02:14.38\00:02:23.84
welcome to the Nature Time,
00:02:23.85\00:02:25.12
we're glad you
can join us today,
00:02:25.13\00:02:26.47
look what I have,
isn't this a beautiful
00:02:26.48\00:02:28.67
little guy. This is known as
00:02:28.68\00:02:30.45
the Praying
Mantis, I don't know if
00:02:30.46\00:02:31.87
you've ever seeing one or not.
00:02:31.88\00:02:33.02
You should look
for them when you're
00:02:33.03\00:02:34.44
out for a walk, if you're out
00:02:34.45\00:02:35.68
around Goldenrod
plants and things like that.
00:02:35.69\00:02:37.81
In the Northern part
of United States we would
00:02:37.82\00:02:39.57
find these, so that's part
00:02:39.58\00:02:40.66
of August into
September and maybe
00:02:40.67\00:02:42.47
into October.
They're starting life
00:02:42.48\00:02:44.72
as a tiny little
ant like creature
00:02:44.73\00:02:46.97
and they
progressively grow until
00:02:46.98\00:02:48.90
they're this
size. Now this is an
00:02:48.91\00:02:50.30
adult Praying Mantis
and this is the female.
00:02:50.31\00:02:52.98
This is the mommy
Praying Mantis and you
00:02:52.99\00:02:54.61
say well Ranger Jim
how would know that?
00:02:54.62\00:02:56.53
You look at their bottom,
00:02:56.54\00:02:57.91
well I'm not going
to turn it over because
00:02:57.92\00:02:59.32
I'm hanging onto
so she won't turn.
00:02:59.33\00:03:01.05
Look at their
abdomen and the male have
00:03:01.06\00:03:04.02
eight segments.
You can count them
00:03:04.03\00:03:05.41
1, 2, 3 what
you're looking forward
00:03:05.42\00:03:07.11
is one with 6, when you find one
00:03:07.12\00:03:09.07
with 6 segments on
the lower part of her
00:03:09.08\00:03:10.77
abdomen that means
it's a mommy or a female
00:03:10.78\00:03:13.45
and you can put it in
a glass jar or you can
00:03:13.46\00:03:16.63
put it in a small
aquarium that's dry
00:03:16.64\00:03:18.94
and put in a piece
of under brunch of some
00:03:18.95\00:03:21.70
kind with leaves on
it, so they can perch
00:03:21.71\00:03:23.61
on that, then you
can go out and you could
00:03:23.62\00:03:25.61
catch crickets, so you can get
00:03:25.62\00:03:26.91
small grasshoppers
or any kind of thing
00:03:26.92\00:03:29.18
you want because
this is a predator.
00:03:29.19\00:03:30.76
This insect attacks
and kills and consumes
00:03:30.77\00:03:33.94
eats other smaller
insects and when it is
00:03:33.95\00:03:37.14
very small it catches
insects like tiny little
00:03:37.15\00:03:40.05
vinegar flies and
little nets and it
00:03:40.06\00:03:43.07
progresses up and it gets large
00:03:43.08\00:03:44.50
enough and it can
catch small flies.
00:03:44.51\00:03:46.64
Then it gets a little
bigger and it can catch
00:03:46.65\00:03:48.65
house flies and it
continues to get larger,
00:03:48.66\00:03:51.73
and larger, it needs
a larger supply of food.
00:03:51.74\00:03:54.42
It has more strength
and it's able to catch
00:03:54.43\00:03:56.41
larger insects. Its front legs,
00:03:56.42\00:03:58.62
if I were to spread them out for
00:03:58.63\00:04:00.03
you they're knife
like in that like a
00:04:00.04\00:04:02.88
pocket knife, they open.
00:04:02.89\00:04:04.41
Now she has her claws open,
00:04:04.42\00:04:06.43
and she reaches out and catches,
00:04:06.44\00:04:07.97
she springs out
and grabs an insect on
00:04:07.98\00:04:10.12
the inside. God has provided
00:04:10.13\00:04:11.71
with tiny little spines,
00:04:11.72\00:04:13.38
very sharp on the inside.
00:04:13.39\00:04:15.30
She grabs the
insect and she grasps it
00:04:15.31\00:04:18.19
and hangs onto it
and then she consumes it.
00:04:18.20\00:04:21.12
So that is not a
pretty sight to many people.
00:04:21.13\00:04:23.55
I know boys and
girls who enjoy that.
00:04:23.56\00:04:25.73
My wife says I have
a little bit of a mean
00:04:25.74\00:04:27.91
streak, it isn't
that I have a mean steak,
00:04:27.92\00:04:29.35
it's just that I
enjoy watching the process
00:04:29.36\00:04:31.77
that takes place in nature.
00:04:31.78\00:04:33.95
So when this insect watches,
00:04:33.96\00:04:36.89
turns his head. It is the only
00:04:36.90\00:04:38.35
insect boys and
girls that we have that
00:04:38.36\00:04:39.77
can turn his
head right and left.
00:04:39.78\00:04:41.73
In fact she can
turn her neck so fast,
00:04:41.74\00:04:44.43
she can turn
around and look directly
00:04:44.44\00:04:45.95
behind her. And
this is sometimes
00:04:45.96\00:04:48.31
call the Popeye okay.
00:04:48.32\00:04:50.28
You can see she
has very enlarged eyes,
00:04:50.29\00:04:53.47
it stick off on
the side of their head.
00:04:53.48\00:04:54.76
They are very
movement sensitive,
00:04:54.77\00:04:57.09
anytime that they
see an insect near them
00:04:57.10\00:04:59.73
that moves they catch
that movement and they
00:04:59.74\00:05:02.01
train their eyes
on it and watch it,
00:05:02.02\00:05:03.54
they're not prone
to fly out and grab
00:05:03.55\00:05:06.58
an insect as much
as they are to lay and
00:05:06.59\00:05:08.72
waiting and just
wait very patiently.
00:05:08.73\00:05:11.11
Now they're called a
Praying Mantis because
00:05:11.12\00:05:13.11
you see not so much now because
00:05:13.12\00:05:14.66
I'm holding her
and she is frightened,
00:05:14.67\00:05:16.34
but normally she
holds her front claws up
00:05:16.35\00:05:19.85
in a position of
prayer just waiting for
00:05:19.86\00:05:22.18
something to come by,
00:05:22.19\00:05:23.16
no she's not
praying that is simply the
00:05:23.17\00:05:25.23
position that she has assumes,
00:05:25.24\00:05:26.80
they're in
readiness to grab their prey
00:05:26.81\00:05:28.80
when it comes by.
So this is a very,
00:05:28.81\00:05:31.70
very interesting
insect and she lays a
00:05:31.71\00:05:34.80
pot of eggs, very large body,
00:05:34.81\00:05:37.12
and when I first
place this in an aquarium,
00:05:37.13\00:05:41.42
she had begun to
lay the eggs and begins
00:05:41.43\00:05:43.83
to come out the
back of her body just
00:05:43.84\00:05:45.69
spewing out like
a little tiny ribbon
00:05:45.70\00:05:47.41
of form and it
grows and grows and grows.
00:05:47.42\00:05:50.14
It is a very, very
sticky substance and it is
00:05:50.15\00:05:54.27
very strong and it
is perfect insulation.
00:05:54.28\00:05:57.11
She lays this along
on a protective branch
00:05:57.12\00:06:00.11
sometime she likes
to get around a barn or
00:06:00.12\00:06:03.10
I find them
usually. I look for them
00:06:03.11\00:06:04.82
around a grain
drill or something,
00:06:04.83\00:06:06.31
because they like
to get up under a board
00:06:06.32\00:06:07.83
or some protection
from the rain not always,
00:06:07.84\00:06:10.49
sometimes they would
just be out on just a
00:06:10.50\00:06:13.14
regular level
wind, but if she does
00:06:13.15\00:06:16.48
that it's always the same,
00:06:16.49\00:06:17.94
she deposits the
eggs there and then goes
00:06:17.95\00:06:20.32
about her own
life. She completely
00:06:20.33\00:06:21.93
forgets about her babies,
00:06:21.94\00:06:23.19
all of her chores finished.
00:06:23.20\00:06:24.98
She has nothing more to do,
00:06:24.99\00:06:26.39
now I've talked
about that I'm going to
00:06:26.40\00:06:28.78
put Mrs. Mantis over
here and open the case
00:06:28.79\00:06:31.36
so you can see
it. This is what it
00:06:31.37\00:06:33.03
looks like when
it's laying on a branch
00:06:33.04\00:06:34.52
okay. So, boys and
girls when you're out
00:06:34.53\00:06:36.49
in nature and
you're looking for things
00:06:36.50\00:06:38.48
always keep your eyes open.
00:06:38.49\00:06:39.91
If you see a
little lump on a branch go
00:06:39.92\00:06:41.60
and look at it,
I'm going to open
00:06:41.61\00:06:43.23
this now, so you
can see inside in here
00:06:43.24\00:06:45.70
would be 300 tiny
little eggs and when
00:06:45.71\00:06:48.91
these eggs hatch
next spring when it gets
00:06:48.92\00:06:50.86
warm long in June,
July, maybe then they
00:06:50.87\00:06:54.73
come forth these tiny
little creatures about
00:06:54.74\00:06:57.07
the size of a
tiny, tiny little spider
00:06:57.08\00:06:59.83
and a little bit of a
silk on the back of it.
00:06:59.84\00:07:02.28
They spin out like
that and they come slowly
00:07:02.29\00:07:04.26
down to ground just
gently they don't fall
00:07:04.27\00:07:06.16
often hurt themselves
another example of how
00:07:06.17\00:07:08.93
God provides boys
and girls for even the
00:07:08.94\00:07:10.95
Praying Mantis. So Ranger Jim
00:07:10.96\00:07:12.73
as always telling
you boys and girls don't
00:07:12.74\00:07:15.05
forget to tell
Jesus that you love Him,
00:07:15.06\00:07:16.69
because He really does love you.
00:07:16.70\00:07:19.77
Hello, boys and
girls welcome to Music Time
00:07:27.73\00:07:30.55
with Budicus. Our
producer Brendacus
00:07:30.56\00:07:34.02
wanted us to do a
song about Zacchaeus.
00:07:34.03\00:07:37.65
Zacchaeus, what
is it that you do
00:07:37.66\00:07:41.08
for a living? I collect money
00:07:41.09\00:07:44.63
and you owe me some money,
00:07:44.64\00:07:46.60
I don't think I
like Zacchaeus very much,
00:07:46.61\00:07:56.16
as a matter of
fact a lot of people
00:07:56.17\00:07:59.05
didn't like him,
but one person did
00:07:59.06\00:08:02.50
and we would like to
sing that song for you.
00:08:02.51\00:08:05.17
Zacchaeus was a wee little man.
00:08:08.76\00:08:12.51
And a wee little man was he.
00:08:12.52\00:08:15.23
He climbed up
in a sycamore tree.
00:08:15.24\00:08:19.52
For the Lord he wanted to see.
00:08:19.53\00:08:22.52
And as the
Savior passed that way.
00:08:22.53\00:08:26.68
He looked up in that tree.
00:08:26.69\00:08:29.72
And He said,
Zacchaeus, you come down!
00:08:29.73\00:08:33.99
For I'm going to
your house today.
00:08:34.00\00:08:37.09
For I'm going to
your house today.
00:08:37.10\00:08:40.65
Boys and girls
we're gonna try it again
00:08:40.66\00:08:44.33
this time do the action with us.
00:08:44.34\00:08:46.09
Zacchaeus was a wee little man.
00:08:46.10\00:08:50.20
And a wee little man was he.
00:08:50.21\00:08:53.17
He climbed up
in a sycamore tree.
00:08:53.18\00:08:57.20
For the Lord he wanted to see.
00:08:57.21\00:09:00.03
And as the
Savior passed that way.
00:09:00.04\00:09:04.18
He looked up in that tree.
00:09:04.19\00:09:07.19
And He said,
Zacchaeus, you come down!
00:09:07.20\00:09:11.51
For I'm going to
your house today.
00:09:11.52\00:09:14.50
For I'm going to
your house today.
00:09:14.51\00:09:17.91
Tomias, is
everything ready for banquet?
00:11:25.73\00:11:27.35
Yes master. Are you sure
00:11:27.36\00:11:28.70
all the details
have been taken care of?
00:11:28.71\00:11:30.36
Yes master. Make
sure to doubly check
00:11:30.37\00:11:32.91
and please go
and tell the others,
00:11:32.92\00:11:34.22
yes master. You must know
00:11:34.23\00:11:37.66
that for a very
long time I have not
00:11:37.67\00:11:39.71
been happy,
everything people say about
00:11:39.72\00:11:43.60
me is true.
Zacchaeus, he's a cheat.
00:11:43.61\00:11:46.48
Zacchaeus makes
himself rich by charging
00:11:46.49\00:11:50.45
even the poor, as
Chief Tax Collector
00:11:50.46\00:11:53.57
I have been very greedy.
00:11:53.58\00:11:55.01
I've charged even
the poorest people
00:11:55.02\00:11:57.90
more than I'm
required to and the extra
00:11:57.91\00:12:00.55
I've kept for
myself. I have far more
00:12:00.56\00:12:04.06
luxuries and
privileges than other people do,
00:12:04.07\00:12:06.68
but I recently have
felt so guilty about my
00:12:06.69\00:12:10.15
dishonesty that I
really have enjoyed
00:12:10.16\00:12:13.11
the money and fine
things that we have.
00:12:13.12\00:12:15.26
Then just this
morning I've heard that Jesus
00:12:15.27\00:12:20.31
was coming to
town. I've heard such
00:12:20.32\00:12:22.75
wonderful things about him,
00:12:22.76\00:12:24.04
how he heals people
of all kinds of diseases.
00:12:24.05\00:12:27.08
How he loves children
and tells stories that
00:12:27.09\00:12:30.28
keep everyone
hanging on his every word and
00:12:30.29\00:12:33.87
I've also heard how
friendly he is to all
00:12:33.88\00:12:36.52
kinds of people, even
tax collectors like me.
00:12:36.53\00:12:40.10
Well I've made up my mind that
00:12:40.11\00:12:43.69
I just had to see
him, I somehow felt
00:12:43.70\00:12:46.51
the just one
glimpse would make me a
00:12:46.52\00:12:49.38
better man, but actually seeing
00:12:49.39\00:12:53.33
Jesus wasn't that
easy. When I got onto
00:12:53.34\00:12:56.66
the Jericho road where
he was expected to pass.
00:12:56.67\00:12:59.27
The crowd was like
a wall in front of me
00:12:59.28\00:13:01.91
and you know I'm not very tall I
00:13:01.92\00:13:05.39
started jumping
up and down trying to
00:13:05.40\00:13:07.40
see over their
heads, but I just couldn't
00:13:07.41\00:13:09.92
then I spot a
little sycamore tree by
00:13:09.93\00:13:13.06
the side of the
road, before I knew it
00:13:13.07\00:13:15.34
I found myself
shimming up the tree,
00:13:15.35\00:13:17.23
scooting out on to
old limb overlooking
00:13:17.24\00:13:20.13
the road. I must look
00:13:20.14\00:13:22.96
kind of funny, now that
00:13:22.97\00:13:25.35
I think of it. I guess a lot of
00:13:25.36\00:13:27.34
people were
starring at me with their
00:13:27.35\00:13:28.70
mouths open. Never expecting to
00:13:28.71\00:13:31.65
see a chief tax collector act
00:13:31.66\00:13:34.16
so undignified,
but the important
00:13:34.17\00:13:37.95
thing is I got to see Jesus,
00:13:37.96\00:13:40.95
there he was in the
middle of the crowd.
00:13:40.96\00:13:45.17
He wasn't taller
than most people and
00:13:45.18\00:13:48.33
he didn't dress
differently than others,
00:13:48.34\00:13:50.40
but somehow I
knew that it was Jesus.
00:13:50.41\00:13:54.21
Then he looked at me.
00:13:54.22\00:13:56.57
He looked right up
into the sycamore tree
00:13:56.58\00:13:59.89
and his eyes
looked deep into mine.
00:13:59.90\00:14:01.98
I couldn't look away,
I could hardly breath,
00:14:01.99\00:14:06.22
his eyes, his eyes were so kind,
00:14:06.23\00:14:10.70
so forgiving and understanding.
00:14:10.71\00:14:13.02
Then he actually
called me by name he said
00:14:13.03\00:14:18.51
in his quite,
warm voice; Zacchaeus,
00:14:18.52\00:14:20.78
come on down, I'd like to have
00:14:20.79\00:14:24.31
dinner at your house today.
00:14:24.32\00:14:25.75
Can you imagine the
privilege, the honor,
00:14:25.76\00:14:30.28
the blessing that
we're about to share
00:14:30.29\00:14:32.55
and that's how I
know that he loves me,
00:14:32.56\00:14:36.96
and that's how I
know I will never ever
00:14:36.97\00:14:41.38
be the same
again. After looking into
00:14:41.39\00:14:45.07
his face I know
that I will never cheat
00:14:45.08\00:14:48.42
another man
again. I will not lie or
00:14:48.43\00:14:51.16
steal or do
anything mean because
00:14:51.17\00:14:54.00
he loves me. I know that
00:14:54.01\00:14:57.22
he has never
done any mean or wrong
00:14:57.23\00:14:58.79
things in his life
and I wanna be like him.
00:14:58.80\00:15:02.14
What's more
anybody I've ever cheated
00:15:02.15\00:15:06.55
I will pay them
back four times as much,
00:15:06.56\00:15:09.84
and I'm going to
give half of what
00:15:09.85\00:15:12.45
I have to the
poor. I can't wait to
00:15:12.46\00:15:16.01
tell Jesus this,
oh I hear him now,
00:15:16.02\00:15:19.36
let's go out to meet him.
00:15:19.37\00:15:21.70
Jesus loves me
and he loves you too.
00:15:35.89\00:15:41.27
Come and see how
much He cares for you.
00:15:41.28\00:15:46.84
You will never
find a friend so true.
00:15:46.85\00:15:52.66
Jesus loves me.
And He loves you.
00:15:52.67\00:15:57.83
Jesus loves me
and he loves you too.
00:15:57.84\00:16:04.30
Come and see how
much He cares for you.
00:16:04.31\00:16:10.12
You will never
find a friend so true.
00:16:10.13\00:16:15.99
Jesus loves me.
And He loves you.
00:16:16.00\00:16:21.24
Thank you to the
Meadows family for
00:16:30.37\00:16:31.89
that beautiful message and song.
00:16:31.90\00:16:33.78
Well boys and girls
I'm enjoining your cards
00:16:33.79\00:16:36.00
and your
letters, and your emails,
00:16:36.01\00:16:37.58
I just love hearing
from you, and you are
00:16:37.59\00:16:39.97
out there witnessing
for Jesus and I love it
00:16:39.98\00:16:42.11
that you're sharing
that with me too and
00:16:42.12\00:16:44.55
I can share with all
of you all the blessings,
00:16:44.56\00:16:46.95
but before I get
reading letters today
00:16:46.96\00:16:49.26
I want you to
meet a friend of mine
00:16:49.27\00:16:50.54
that's here with
me. And this is Aaron.
00:16:50.55\00:16:52.28
Hi Aaron. Hi, thank
you for coming today,
00:16:52.29\00:16:54.87
can you tell our
boys and girls what it is
00:16:54.88\00:16:56.88
you do to share
Jesus? Well me and my
00:16:56.89\00:16:59.22
youth group we baked
a bunch of cookies like
00:16:59.23\00:17:01.30
Chocolate chip
cookies and Monster Cookies
00:17:01.31\00:17:03.85
and we went on a
couple of streets and
00:17:03.86\00:17:06.79
we pass them
out to some walkers.
00:17:06.80\00:17:08.63
And well they thought, it was,
00:17:08.64\00:17:10.56
you know they
had to pay for them
00:17:10.57\00:17:12.66
or it was for to
support something.
00:17:12.67\00:17:15.40
We just told them, no,
00:17:15.41\00:17:16.58
we're just doing this
to show that Jesus love,
00:17:16.59\00:17:20.11
love with Jesus. Right.
00:17:20.12\00:17:21.85
And they were really happy,
00:17:21.86\00:17:23.52
a lot of them were hungry,
00:17:23.53\00:17:26.53
and some other
people went to the
00:17:26.54\00:17:29.96
fire station
and to the hospital.
00:17:29.97\00:17:33.05
Oh that's awesome, now did you
00:17:33.06\00:17:35.14
have any special
experiences it all?
00:17:35.15\00:17:38.45
Yes, when we
were raking the leafs.
00:17:38.46\00:17:43.21
You do, you, you
do other things too,
00:17:43.22\00:17:46.03
yeah, tell me about
the other things you do.
00:17:46.04\00:17:47.33
Well we rakes the
leafs for this one place
00:17:47.34\00:17:50.86
where abused mothers
and their children go,
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.76
to stay when they
don't have enough money. Now,
00:17:52.77\00:17:55.82
do they pay you, is this a job
00:17:55.83\00:17:57.03
that you go there. No,
00:17:57.04\00:17:58.01
we just do it for
free to be nice and
00:17:58.02\00:18:01.93
well we were there
and we gave out some
00:18:01.94\00:18:05.32
guys who rake
leafs, it was a lot of fun.
00:18:05.33\00:18:07.36
We gave some
guidance to the kids and
00:18:07.37\00:18:09.19
some adult
lessons to the adults.
00:18:09.20\00:18:10.87
And we had a lot of
fun raking leafs because
00:18:10.88\00:18:12.65
we jump into the leafs
and it was a lot of fun.
00:18:12.66\00:18:15.62
So you play, got to
play a little bit too,
00:18:15.63\00:18:17.96
yeah. Oh that's wonderful now
00:18:17.97\00:18:19.96
did you have any
especial experiences
00:18:19.97\00:18:21.60
that happened to you when you
00:18:21.61\00:18:22.61
were doing that? Yeah, when we
00:18:22.62\00:18:24.37
gave the guides to the
kids they really happy,
00:18:24.38\00:18:27.28
'cause I think they
didn't have that many
00:18:27.29\00:18:28.59
books to read. And I think
00:18:28.60\00:18:30.25
they may have read
them all and their moms
00:18:30.26\00:18:31.92
have read them all to
them and so I think they
00:18:31.93\00:18:34.09
were very happy
that they can read
00:18:34.10\00:18:35.57
some of them, and they probably
00:18:35.58\00:18:37.04
learned a lot about Jesus.
00:18:37.05\00:18:38.46
Oh that's wonderful,
so you really are quite
00:18:38.47\00:18:41.38
active in your
church, you sounds like
00:18:41.39\00:18:42.87
you have a good
active youth group
00:18:42.88\00:18:44.53
doesn't it boys and girls? Yeah.
00:18:44.54\00:18:46.32
Well I really
enjoyed hearing that and
00:18:46.33\00:18:50.07
I wanna thank you
Aaron for sharing that
00:18:50.08\00:18:51.89
with us today.
Well boys and girls,
00:18:51.90\00:18:54.00
I'm sitting here, I'm so curious
00:18:54.01\00:18:55.61
I wanna read
some cards and letters
00:18:55.62\00:18:57.55
and emails to you
and there's one that's
00:18:57.56\00:18:59.54
like a package and
I'm always curious,
00:18:59.55\00:19:01.17
because I never know
what's gonna be inside.
00:19:01.18\00:19:03.44
So lets take a look, I'm really
00:19:03.45\00:19:05.33

I'm very curious now.

Oh it says Dear Miss. Brenda
00:19:28.70\00:19:30.84
I'm a 95-year-old
kid that wrote to you

at camp meeting and told you
00:19:33.66\00:19:34.81
that I would in
my second childhood,
00:19:34.82\00:19:36.82

00:19:41.95\00:19:44.06

00:19:44.07\00:19:46.07
Kids Time is the
best program on TV today.
00:19:46.08\00:19:49.54
Thanks to you for
producing such a program
00:19:49.55\00:19:52.49
and I'm sending
back the pamphlets,
00:19:52.50\00:19:54.36
the Kids Time pamphlet,
00:19:54.37\00:19:55.87
describing the program and
00:19:55.88\00:19:57.72
I've colored everything in,
00:19:57.73\00:19:58.93
so that you can see.
00:19:58.94\00:20:00.25
I like every
part of your program
00:20:00.26\00:20:02.45
and I really
enjoy the Ranger Jim
00:20:02.46\00:20:04.37
and his
accomplishments and every part
00:20:04.38\00:20:06.67

00:20:08.31\00:20:09.77
Thank you so
much, yours truly, Eric.
00:20:09.78\00:20:12.59
Eric, thank you so much and
00:20:12.60\00:20:14.55
I can't thank you
enough for your generous gift.
00:20:14.56\00:20:16.75
It's, it's people
like you that make these
00:20:16.76\00:20:19.58
programs
possible. And I just can't
00:20:19.59\00:20:22.07
tell you how warmly
and sincerely enough,
00:20:22.08\00:20:24.21
how much we really
do appreciate this and,
00:20:24.22\00:20:26.54
and I know, kids
everywhere are gonna
00:20:26.55\00:20:30.08
benefit and
know more about Jesus
00:20:30.09\00:20:31.69
because of it. So thank you
00:20:31.70\00:20:32.90
so much, here's a self portrait
00:20:32.91\00:20:35.45
that he drew of himself and
00:20:35.46\00:20:36.65
you're a beautiful artist,
00:20:36.66\00:20:38.45
beautiful artist,
thank you so much.
00:20:38.46\00:20:40.55
He says he's 95 years-young and
00:20:40.56\00:20:42.81
I would agree Eric,
you're 95-years-young
00:20:42.82\00:20:45.85
and let's just take a look in
00:20:45.86\00:20:48.09
the Kids Time book.
00:20:48.10\00:20:49.09

Dear Miss Brenda, I

on Sabbath
mornings I'm 5-year-old and
00:21:32.08\00:21:34.71
I love to go church I
share Jesus by lending
00:21:34.72\00:21:37.77
my Bible to my
classmates. See I send a picture
00:21:37.78\00:21:41.02
of myself, your
friend, Abigail. Abigail,
00:21:41.03\00:21:43.87
thank you so much for
your picture and you know
00:21:43.88\00:21:45.67
what, anytime
you share the Bible,
00:21:45.68\00:21:47.18
you share Jesus.
Well before I read,
00:21:47.93\00:21:49.89
I got some more
emails I wanna read to you,
00:21:50.39\00:21:51.43
but before I do, I
want to take you to Russian
00:21:51.44\00:21:54.22
where I was recently
visiting there with some
00:21:54.23\00:21:56.63
Russian children and
there is somebody there
00:21:56.64\00:21:58.79
that wants to tell
you how they share Jesus.
00:21:59.30\00:22:01.14
I'm so excited to be here today.
00:22:02.51\00:22:03.84
I am here with so
many boys and girls that
00:22:03.85\00:22:07.02
love Jesus, and do
you know where I'm?
00:22:07.03\00:22:08.44
I'm in Russia and
I'm here with Julia who
00:22:08.45\00:22:11.79
is going to interpret
for us because I don't speak
00:22:11.80\00:22:13.64
Russian and they
don't speak English,
00:22:13.65\00:22:15.85
but can't you tell
how much they love Jesus
00:22:16.38\00:22:18.07
by all those smiling
faces, look at that boys
00:22:18.08\00:22:20.70

00:22:20.71\00:22:23.83
hello and who is
this right next to me?
00:22:23.84\00:22:26.38
My name is Sasha, hi Sasha,
00:22:27.70\00:22:30.39
I'm so happy you're
here today and I'm happy
00:22:31.12\00:22:33.56
that you're going to
tell us something that
00:22:33.57\00:22:35.17
you do to share
Jesus? [Foreign Language]
00:22:35.18\00:22:42.05
I speak my
classmates about Jesus.
00:22:42.69\00:22:46.06
And do most of your classmates
00:22:46.60\00:22:47.96
know about Jesus?
[Foreign Language]
00:22:47.97\00:22:54.66
Very few kids know about Jesus.
00:22:55.18\00:22:57.48
And when you tell
your friends about Jesus
00:22:58.33\00:23:00.50
what do you tell
them? [Foreign Language]
00:23:00.51\00:23:06.70
I tell them that Jesus is God,
00:23:06.71\00:23:08.25
that he wants all
of us to be happy and
00:23:14.61\00:23:16.80
be with him in
heaven. And, and he does
00:23:16.81\00:23:20.82
whenever your, do your
classmates do they make
00:23:21.35\00:23:24.18
fun of you or give
you a hard time when
00:23:24.19\00:23:26.41
you talk about
Jesus? [Foreign Language]
00:23:26.42\00:23:33.75
Most of them
listen. Oh that's wonderful
00:23:34.23\00:23:36.68
and does that make
you feel happy inside
00:23:37.37\00:23:40.06
when you share
Jesus? [Foreign Language]
00:23:40.07\00:23:45.14
I feel very happy.
You know boys and girls,
00:23:45.15\00:23:47.37
it does makes us
very happy to share Jesus,
00:23:47.38\00:23:49.67
let's have the
boys and girls tell you
00:23:50.24\00:23:52.26
goodbye now okay.
Say bye boys and girls.
00:23:52.27\00:23:54.88
[Foreign Language] Bye.
00:23:54.89\00:23:57.17
Well thank you Sasha
for sharing Jesus and
00:23:59.66\00:24:01.75
telling everyone about
it. You know boys and girls
00:24:01.76\00:24:03.82
wherever you
live, why don't you send
00:24:03.83\00:24:05.76
me a video, if
you can't come here to
00:24:05.77\00:24:07.55
Southern Illinois to be
on sharing time in person,
00:24:07.56\00:24:09.84
then send me a
video and let me know how
00:24:10.49\00:24:12.37
you share Jesus won't
you? I have an email here
00:24:12.38\00:24:15.61
that said, dear Miss
Brenda, my name is Candice
00:24:15.62\00:24:18.07
and I'm eight-years-old.
I have a brother Alex
00:24:18.08\00:24:20.89
who is 5-years-old, and
we leave in South Africa.
00:24:21.38\00:24:24.29
We watch Kids Time
every week and when
00:24:24.93\00:24:26.79
we're not able to then my
grandpa records it for us.
00:24:26.80\00:24:29.50
He shares Jesus by
making recording of some of
00:24:30.09\00:24:32.29
the programs and
giving it to people to watch.
00:24:32.30\00:24:34.61
That's a wonderful way to
share Jesus isn't it Aaron.
00:24:35.52\00:24:37.55
It says Alex and I
share Jesus by showing
00:24:38.34\00:24:40.07
the tapes to
our friends Jessica,
00:24:40.08\00:24:41.60
our cousins Keanu,
Keanu, who is one-year-old
00:24:42.29\00:24:46.98
and also loves Kids
Time, when he hears the
00:24:47.58\00:24:49.46
Kids Time jingle he
runs to the screen and claps
00:24:49.47\00:24:52.38
his hands and he
loves it when children sing.
00:24:52.39\00:24:55.57
We would love an activity book.
00:24:56.78\00:24:58.09
Thank you for
these wonderful programs,
00:24:58.57\00:25:00.11
love Candice, Alex,
and Keanu, and I hope
00:25:00.12\00:25:03.29
I'm pronouncing
Keanu right, it's KEANU.
00:25:03.30\00:25:06.19
And they're from
South Africa and thank you
00:25:06.86\00:25:08.99

emailing, getting your emails.
00:25:09.00\00:25:12.13
There is another email
it says, Dear Miss Brenda,
00:25:12.73\00:25:14.75
please send me an
activity book, thank you,
00:25:15.37\00:25:17.00
love, Laura. Then I
get another that says,
00:25:17.01\00:25:20.43
Dear Miss. Brenda,
although my daughter was
00:25:20.44\00:25:23.07
very cryptic in her
letter, I can vouch for her
00:25:23.08\00:25:25.32
that she loves Kids
Time. She watches it twice
00:25:25.33\00:25:28.14
a day if she can.
Thank you for providing such
00:25:28.15\00:25:30.84
a wonderful
program for children.
