00:03 It's time to share, there's a
00:05 world out there, looking for a friend 00:08 like Jesus, it's time to share, 00:12 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 Hi boys and girls, do you know 00:26 what I have here? Well, let's take a 00:29 closer look, are you guessing beans. 00:33 Well sort of, they're in the same family 00:37 as beans, the family we call legumes, 00:39 but these are lentils. Did you know 00:43 the legume family includes many kinds 00:45 of beans? Also peas and even peanuts, 00:50 lentils are extremely good for us, 00:51 they're high in protein, and they taste 00:54 good too when we just season them 00:55 just right. But have you ever notice 00:58 how some times we associate food 01:00 with an experience we've had. 01:02 I know someone who once ate so many 01:05 cashew nuts that she got sick of them. 01:07 And now she can't even stand to think of 01:09 eating them ever again. Food can have 01:12 good associations too though. Our Bible 01:15 character, today is looking back on 01:17 important events in his life and he's telling 01:19 his granddaughter about them. One of these 01:22 events included a bowl of lentils. 01:25 I have a feeling that he never again enjoyed 01:28 a bowl of lentils after that experience. 01:30 And I'm sure that reminded him of a time 01:32 when he did something wrong. You know, 01:35 Jesus always forgives us when we do 01:37 something wrong, and that and if we 01:39 are truly sorry. But sometimes the memories 01:42 of that wrong doing can make us unhappy 01:45 and unable to enjoy future experiences 01:47 as much as we should. The Bible says, 01:50 the way of the transgressor's hard, 01:53 you know that simply means that doing 01:55 wrong things brings sadness and trouble. 01:58 The character in our Bible story today learn 02:00 that lesson the hard way. We'll soon learn 02:03 all about this man in the bowl of lentils. 02:06 But first, Ranger Jim is going 02:08 to show us some rabbits. 02:17 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying, 02:19 welcome to Nature Time. We're glad 02:20 you can join us today, look what we have, 02:22 some beautiful bunny rabbits and our 02:24 friend Bonnie with us. Tell us about 02:26 these rabbits. Well, we have some pet rabbits 02:28 on our farm. These are Rex Rabbits. 02:32 They are special breed then? That's right, 02:34 that's the type of rabbit they are, 02:36 it's called a mini Rex actually. 02:39 And so these rabbits won't become as 02:40 large as they are normally will have 02:42 size. That's right, Mini Rex just stay 02:44 small, in fact these rabbits are full grown. 02:47 Wonderful and they make a nice pet 02:48 that you can have them. And boys and girls, 02:50 they have a special Rex is a name of the 02:52 gene that they have, that causes 02:54 their whiskers to be slightly curly, 02:55 and the guard hair that he would normally 02:57 have is very short. And so their coat feels 03:00 almost like cashmere, it's silky and smooth 03:03 and so soft as you can see they are very 03:05 gentle, you can hold them in your hands. 03:07 Their toe nails are quite elongated 03:10 and they need to be trimmed. But when I 03:11 picked up this one up, I noticed that 03:12 were the first things I noticed and Bonnie 03:14 you say, they have to be trimmed right then. 03:15 You do, in rabbits you have to trim 03:18 the toe nails, like you and I might 03:19 take a pair of nail clippers and trim my 03:22 finger nails. You have to trim the nails 03:24 of a rabbit, otherwise they're gonna scratch 03:26 you. That's right, as we just pick them up 03:28 them like that. Well, tell me about these 03:31 creatures, they have a very, very 03:32 thick coat, do they do well in warm weather 03:34 or do you have to cool them or? 03:36 On a very hot day, what we do is we take 03:39 a plastic bottle, and we'll put a, 03:43 plastic bottle, put some water in it 03:44 and put it in the freezer. And then the 03:46 bunny rabbits will just actually lay, 03:48 just like this. Alright. On that plastic bottle, 03:50 and that's like their air-conditioner. 03:52 That cools them down. Alright, that cool 03:54 you all faster then Popsicle, 03:55 wouldn't it? Yes, it does. And so they 03:56 enjoy that, and then in the winter time, 03:58 of course you don't leave them outdoors. 03:59 No, in the summer time, we have 04:01 them in outdoor cages, but in the 04:02 winter time, we put them inside a building 04:04 that could be completely closed up. 04:06 And there's a box, they can get in with some 04:08 straw to keep them warm. Very good. 04:10 Now, do these rabbits eat a great meal 04:12 or they're quite or quite eat it. No, 04:14 these rabbits don't eat very much at all. 04:16 In fact, if you would take a small soup can, 04:18 you would only take a half a soup can 04:21 of pallets everyday. And then very 04:24 important that rabbits have a lot of water. 04:26 Wonderful, now does that sound familiar 04:28 to you because Ranger Jim tells 04:29 you constantly boys and girls, 04:31 if you have a pet, it is so important 04:34 That you always remember to have 04:35 fresh water for them, because that creature 04:38 needs the water to survive as you do. 04:40 And we're here in this farm and you 04:42 may here sounds going by, there are 04:44 farm tractors going by. And all of the 04:46 regular traffic that's going through here, 04:48 but tell me this now, if these creatures 04:51 have enough water, a good protection, 04:53 they make a lovely pet. Rabbits are so fun, 04:56 as you can see the little bunny rabbit 04:58 just sitting here on my lap. And it's so 05:00 soft and you can pet the rabbit and 05:03 they're just cuddly and easy to care for. 05:06 Wonderful, boys and girls, 05:07 you've noticed that rabbits always have 05:09 large ears, and if you look at them very 05:11 carefully, you'll see veins. Many veins 05:14 in their ears and especially in the jack 05:16 rabbits and rabbits out in the South West 05:18 or in the desert areas, some of the desert 05:20 rabbits have huge ears. And those ears 05:23 are for cooling, their blood passes through 05:25 there and when they waves them in the wind 05:27 or they when they're running, that's the way 05:29 they cool. And as I told you before with a 05:31 dog, when a dog opens its mouth its hot. 05:34 When the dog is panting and your dog may 05:36 come up and want to kiss you, and he's 05:37 panting and slobbering. Well, that's his 05:39 cooling mechanism, and he does that by 05:42 breathing air, fresh air panting, pulling the 05:45 air back and forth across his tongue 05:47 that's wet. And that dissipates the heat, 05:49 the same way in the rabbit that controls 05:51 his heat, and even in some of the elephants 05:53 that we have, they waves their huge ears 05:55 that's the mechanism that God gave them 05:57 for cooling their bodies. And so, 05:59 tell me now this is the natural color 06:01 on these rabbits, these they may have 06:03 all of the different colors other than 06:04 these? Yeah, just like people, rabbits come 06:06 in all different colors, and they're kind of 06:08 fun because notice that yours is brown 06:10 and mine has a like a light brown face, 06:13 and then a dark brown on it's back. 06:14 So they have all unique patterns 06:16 and they're all different. So you 06:18 never know what's you're going to get, 06:19 this was a grab, bag it in a litter, 06:20 you have all kind of them. Yep, 06:22 and that's what makes it fun. Alright, Bonnie, 06:24 I want to thank you for allowing us 06:25 to come this afternoon, it's been a joy to be 06:27 here and see your beautiful pets. 06:28 Well, thank you, it's a privilege to show 06:30 them to you. Boys and girls, its fun to be 06:33 here and see these creatures. 06:34 Ranger Jim as always saying, don't forget 06:36 to tell Jesus that you love Him 06:38 because He really does love you. 07:00 Hi boys and girls, just for fun, 07:02 I've asked Keira, Crystal Ann and Bobby, 07:05 to write down every sin that they have 07:07 done over the last 24 hours. Let's see, 07:10 how they have done? Keira Mason, 07:17 you've been a very, very good girl. 07:22 Crystal Ann Tan, you've also have been 07:27 a very, very good person. 07:30 Robert Charles how did you do? 07:32 There uncle Buddy, but I ran out on a paper 07:34 and I had to put it all on a disc. 07:36 And even then I've like used up all 650 07:39 megabytes. It's been a rough day. 07:44 Oh! My, well, boy and girls, no matter, 07:50 if you've had this kind of a day, 07:53 or this kind of a day, Jesus will 07:56 forgive you, just ask Him. 08:08 Sometimes when I know 08:11 that I've done something wrong. 08:14 I wonder if God's love 08:18 will leave me all alone. 08:22 Will He forgive me, 08:25 for what I've said and done. 08:29 Then I remembered, 08:31 that's why He sent His son. 08:35 But if I confess my sins, 08:38 He will forgive my sins. 08:42 I can trust God, He does what is right. 08:49 But if I confess my sins, 08:52 He will forgive my sins. 08:56 He'll make me clean, 08:59 from all the wrongs I've done. 09:03 He'll forgive my sins. 09:42 Sometimes when we know 09:45 that we've done something wrong 09:49 We wonder if God's love 09:52 will leave us all alone. 09:55 Will He forgive us 09:59 for what we've said and done 10:02 Then we remember 10:05 that's why He sent His son. 10:08 But if we confess our sins, 10:12 He will forgive our sins. 10:16 We could trust God, he does what is right. 10:22 But if we confess our sins, 10:25 He will forgive our sins. 10:29 He'll make us clean 10:32 from all the wrongs we've done. 10:36 He will forgive our sins. 10:43 He will forgive my sins. 12:22 Boo. Oh! Hi Diana. I bring you some 12:26 bowl of lentils, Grandpa Jacob. 12:29 Thank you very much, Diana. 12:31 I know how much you love 12:33 lentils. I sure do, and I got a story 12:37 I think I can tell you about lentils. 12:40 When I was a little boy, my mother who 12:44 would be a, she would be your great 12:47 grandmother Rebecca. She used to tell 12:50 me stories about the birthright. 12:52 I know what the birthright is; 12:54 it's when all the riches go to the 12:56 firstborn son. Well, that's true, but it's 13:01 more than just about riches Diana, 13:03 it's about the firstborn son receiving 13:07 the blessings that God had promised to 13:09 Abraham. And my mother said that 13:15 I was to receive the birthright, 13:18 and I really looked forward? You did. 13:20 Yes, yeah, now I really look forward 13:23 to the birthright. She said that, 13:26 when I was born I grabbed the heel of my 13:30 brother Esau that would be your great uncle. 13:34 You did. Yeah, yes, that's what she 13:36 told me, but he was born a few minutes 13:39 before I was, so he was older and therefore 13:44 he got the birthright. But I remember 13:47 her telling me that an angel told her 13:51 that God said that I would have 13:53 the birthright blessing. And I 13:56 really wanted the birthright blessing. 13:58 God had promised Abraham that he'd make 14:01 of him a great nation. Now, Esau never 14:05 talked about the birthright, we never 14:08 mentioned it, he just didn't seem to care 14:10 about it. Uncle Esau, he was, 14:15 he was a hunter, he'd leave early in the 14:18 morning and he'd be out all the day long. 14:21 He would be tracking through the woods 14:24 and the fields hunting. I didn't care to hunt, 14:29 I enjoyed being around the animals, 14:30 like taking care of the sheep, goats, 14:33 and I'd help my mother around, around the 14:37 compound there. I like animals too. You do, 14:42 well we got a lot of them today, 14:43 haven't we? Well, oh! She even taught me 14:47 how to cook and then she would tell 14:49 me stories about Abraham and our great 14:53 and wonderful God. Seems to me yes, 14:59 I remember one is them with Esau, 15:00 I was making, I was cooking up a bowl 15:03 of lentils. Just like this and it was 15:05 evening time, about the time for 15:07 evening meal. And across the compound 15:10 I saw Esau coming in, and he walked over 15:13 and he sat down front of me, 15:14 which was rather unusual because Esau 15:16 and I were not close. As I said, 15:20 he was a hunter and I was a herdsman. 15:23 And so I was surprised when he came over, 15:27 and he looked so tired. He was tired 15:30 and weary and from being out all day 15:33 hunting. And, you know in my heart 15:36 I should have given him a bowl of lentils 15:41 And as I thought about it, how I was gonna 15:43 get that birthright blessing from him. 15:45 Esau said, Jacob, give me a bowl of your 15:49 lentils. And right there Diana, I got 15:52 an idea, so I took the lentil and I scooped 15:57 up into a ball, a nice big hot bunch of 16:00 lentils, and I gave them to him, 16:03 handed them out to him. But then I said, 16:07 Esau, I'll give you these lentils if you 16:09 will sell me your birthright. And Esau 16:13 looked up and he said, I'm about ready 16:17 to die Jacob, what's the birthright 16:20 blessing to me? And I said, Esau, 16:23 you swear to me that I'll have 16:25 the birthright, and he did, and then I 16:28 handed him the lentils. And he just 16:31 gobbled those things right up. 16:33 He must have been really hungry. Oh! 16:36 He sure was, my, you should have seen 16:39 his beard when he got done. 16:42 But know what? I got the birthright 16:44 blessing for just a bowl of lentils. 16:48 Well, that's what I thought, later on it 16:52 cost me a lot of heartache and sorrow 16:55 and disappointment. You know what I missed? 16:59 I missed God's miracle on how he was gonna 17:02 give me the birthright. Now that 17:04 would have been a real story. You know Diana, 17:08 it doesn't pay to cheat, even if it's for 17:11 something good that you know belongs to 17:13 you, don't do like I did. You know Diana, 17:19 God has a blessing for you, a birthright 17:22 blessing, and He has a birthright blessing 17:24 for everyone of us. If we will follow God, 17:28 He promises us eternal life. 17:32 Don't sell your birthright blessings 17:33 for a bowl of worldly lentils. 17:37 I won't, Grandpa Jacob. I love you Grandpa 17:43 Jacob. And I love you too Diana. Diana, Diana. 17:49 Oh! Grandma Leah is calling me, 17:51 I better hurry. Don't forget to eat your 17:53 lentils Grandpa Jacob. I won't. Bye.
