Looking for a friend like Jesus
00:00:07.05\00:00:10.17
It's time to share

00:00:10.20\00:00:13.50

Hello, boys and girls.
00:00:24.24\00:00:25.61
I'm having so much fun
reading this little book.
00:00:25.64\00:00:28.35
It's not a story book, but
it's still very interesting.
00:00:28.38\00:00:32.77
Let me show you the
cover, can you see that?
00:00:32.80\00:00:35.25
Now you know what kind
of book it is, don't you?
00:00:35.28\00:00:37.81
It's a book with thousands
00:00:37.84\00:00:39.24
and I mean
thousands of names in it.
00:00:39.27\00:00:41.73
And they're all
suggestions for people
00:00:41.76\00:00:43.62
who are expecting a
baby in their house.
00:00:43.65\00:00:46.09
Now some of these names
are sweet and old fashioned
00:00:46.12\00:00:50.39
like Annabel and
Charity and Ashanti.
00:00:50.42\00:00:56.27
Others are modern and
catchy like Kim and McKayla.
00:00:56.30\00:01:01.02
Some names are old
but never out-of-date
00:01:01.05\00:01:03.28
like Michael and John.
00:01:03.31\00:01:06.04
You know, parents spend a
lot of time thinking about,
00:01:06.07\00:01:08.52
what they will
name their new baby?
00:01:08.55\00:01:10.88
After all, it is a very
important decision for their
00:01:10.91\00:01:14.52
child will carry that name
for the rest of his or her life.
00:01:14.55\00:01:18.61
Now some parents they
decide to name their children
00:01:18.64\00:01:21.04
after family members so
way of honoring him or her.
00:01:21.07\00:01:24.88
Kind of like my
daughter Rebecca who I named
00:01:24.91\00:01:27.57
after my
grandmother Rebecca Helen.
00:01:27.60\00:01:30.42
Others decide they want
to find an unusual name,
00:01:30.45\00:01:33.21
a name that
hardly anybody else had.
00:01:33.24\00:01:36.22
And when you look at a
baby book like this one,
00:01:36.25\00:01:39.00
you'll come across
some names that are truly
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.24
unusual like Anchor or Azalea.
00:01:41.27\00:01:45.36
Most people today
just have a lot of fun
00:01:45.39\00:01:47.72
thinking of names
for their new baby.
00:01:47.75\00:01:50.17
But in Bible
times choosing a name
00:01:50.20\00:01:52.21
was more than a fun thing to do.
00:01:52.24\00:01:54.32
For names, all
had special meanings.
00:01:54.35\00:01:57.09
In today's bible story,
you'll hear about a special baby
00:01:57.12\00:02:00.86
and how that baby
received its particular name.
00:02:00.89\00:02:05.09
Now I can't help
telling you that the parents
00:02:05.12\00:02:07.00
didn't choose this baby's name.
00:02:07.03\00:02:09.13
This little boy's name
was chosen by God Himself.
00:02:09.16\00:02:14.06
Are you wondering
what that name was?
00:02:14.09\00:02:16.41
Well, you'll find
out very soon but first,
00:02:16.44\00:02:19.68
Ranger Jim is going to show us
00:02:19.71\00:02:21.35
a beautiful
animal called an alpaca.
00:02:21.38\00:02:25.64
Hi, boys and
girls, Ranger Jim saying
00:02:32.42\00:02:34.12
welcome to "Nature Time".
00:02:34.15\00:02:35.52
We're glad you
can join us today.
00:02:35.55\00:02:36.92
Look at these
beautiful creatures
00:02:36.95\00:02:38.32
we have for you to see today.
00:02:38.35\00:02:39.72
And our friend,
Penny is with us.
00:02:39.75\00:02:41.12
She's going to tell us
about--Penny, what are these?
00:02:41.15\00:02:42.89
Ah, these are alpacas.
00:02:42.92\00:02:45.04
This is Gabe and this is Danny.
00:02:45.07\00:02:47.79
They are both about a year old.
00:02:47.82\00:02:49.69
And Danny's weighing
right here about 100 pounds
00:02:49.72\00:02:53.03
and Gabe is
weighing at 90 pounds.
00:02:53.06\00:02:55.07
This is like our granddaughter.
00:02:55.10\00:02:57.44
She leads a big part of
life in with our alpacas.
00:02:57.47\00:03:00.30
She's a big help
in as you can see.
00:03:00.33\00:03:03.90
They can really
love and interact
00:03:03.93\00:03:06.09
with the alpacas, very easily.
00:03:06.12\00:03:08.10
Fun, hah.
00:03:08.13\00:03:09.77
They are really fun.
00:03:09.80\00:03:11.86
Well, what do you use them for?
00:03:11.89\00:03:13.51
Do you use them for
show or what have you?
00:03:13.54\00:03:15.52
I haven't done any
show on with them, lately.
00:03:15.55\00:03:18.84
Basically, what we've
done with these so far
00:03:18.87\00:03:20.82
is we've gone into parades.
00:03:20.85\00:03:22.92
We hope to do just
P.R. work with them.
00:03:22.95\00:03:26.15
Going to children's
home and nursing homes and do
00:03:26.18\00:03:29.31
some things like that with
them to just let people know,
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.96
what kind of an
animal they really are.
00:03:31.99\00:03:33.91
And so they are very easy that
you can transport them easily.
00:03:33.94\00:03:36.79
Yeah, you can transport
them in the back of your van.
00:03:36.82\00:03:39.83
And you see they
are very well behaved.
00:03:39.86\00:03:41.39
They are not
wild, but they do have,
00:03:41.42\00:03:42.79
well-- they are not
customized to television cameras
00:03:42.82\00:03:45.08
and things like that,
but I'm amazed at how calm
00:03:45.11\00:03:47.44
they are in this situation.
00:03:47.47\00:03:49.08
They seem to
adjust to it really well.
00:03:49.11\00:03:50.94
And you can see
this, boys and girls,
00:03:50.97\00:03:52.34
what a wonderful pet they make.
00:03:52.37\00:03:53.74
She's able to set here
and just pet these animals
00:03:53.77\00:03:56.27
and even when we
have them on the camera.
00:03:56.30\00:03:58.95
We're able to
walk around and talk--
00:03:58.98\00:04:00.58
what do these animals eat?
00:04:00.61\00:04:01.98
How do you feed them? What?
00:04:02.01\00:04:03.38
Ah, we give ours grain.
00:04:03.41\00:04:05.23
They each get a
fourth a cup in the morning
00:04:05.26\00:04:06.95
and a fourth a
cup in the evening.
00:04:06.98\00:04:09.68
And then you have a hay
accessible to them at all times.
00:04:09.71\00:04:13.35
And so they do well on that.
00:04:13.38\00:04:14.75
What about cold weather?
00:04:14.78\00:04:16.32
Do they do well in that?
00:04:16.35\00:04:17.72
They really should.
They have enough wool
00:04:17.75\00:04:19.24
to keep them really
warm, but we do have a building
00:04:19.27\00:04:21.90
that they are pretty
much always inside them.
00:04:21.93\00:04:23.61
Have a shelter out
in extreme weather.
00:04:23.64\00:04:25.70
What about in the
hot summer time, then?
00:04:25.73\00:04:27.62
Ah, it's a little hard
to keep them cool sometimes.
00:04:27.65\00:04:31.35
They don't take
the heat very well
00:04:31.38\00:04:34.07
so we usually have Danny
and Gabe in the barn with fans
00:04:34.10\00:04:37.55
going full
force on them all day.
00:04:37.58\00:04:39.76
And so that takes care of
that. And that's good like this.
00:04:39.79\00:04:41.90
Just keep them out of the sun.
00:04:41.93\00:04:43.63
Keep them out of the
sun, like you would--
00:04:43.66\00:04:45.03
Keeps them a little cleaner.
00:04:45.06\00:04:46.43
And of course, a good
supply of fresh water.
00:04:46.46\00:04:48.13
Ranger Jim stresses that
any time we're talking about
00:04:48.16\00:04:50.60
animals I keep saying that
00:04:50.63\00:04:52.69
over and over and
over and over again
00:04:52.72\00:04:54.15
that we need
always, boys and girls,
00:04:54.18\00:04:55.86
to have a good
supply of fresh water.
00:04:55.89\00:04:58.26
What about their hoofs
so are they like cattle?
00:04:58.29\00:04:59.89
Do they require
any special trimming
00:04:59.92\00:05:02.00
or anything of that nature?
00:05:02.03\00:05:03.40
We usually trim their hoofs.
00:05:03.43\00:05:04.96
Every time we usually
have them in, we vaccinate them
00:05:04.99\00:05:07.28
monthly for
meningeal worm which can be
00:05:07.31\00:05:11.38
a worm that
settles into their brain.
00:05:11.41\00:05:14.12
So we do
vaccinate for that monthly.
00:05:14.15\00:05:16.81
And we usually check--their
nails are probably done
00:05:16.84\00:05:19.19
three to four times a year.
00:05:19.22\00:05:21.22
And so, that's
very, very important, too.
00:05:21.25\00:05:23.10
So they wouldn't
receive any more care
00:05:23.13\00:05:25.52
that you would expect to give.
00:05:25.55\00:05:27.05
Other pets and
things of that nature,
00:05:27.08\00:05:28.58
but it is specific care usually
by a veterinarian, is it or?
00:05:28.61\00:05:33.39
Terry and I, usually pretty
much do all of our own work.
00:05:33.42\00:05:35.80
Okay, so you could do that.
00:05:35.83\00:05:37.29
So they do make a
very, very interesting pet.
00:05:37.32\00:05:40.89
And as you can see they're also
curious animal, are they not?
00:05:40.92\00:05:44.19
Yes, they are. They want
to be in on what's going?
00:05:44.22\00:05:46.39
Usually, if you
have something that's
00:05:46.42\00:05:48.31
out or wrong around the farm.
00:05:48.34\00:05:49.98
They will usually let you know.
00:05:50.01\00:05:52.93
- Like a watch
dog. - They really are.
00:05:52.96\00:05:55.53
So they're aware
because I noticed
00:05:55.56\00:05:57.46
when they had them
out here, there were dogs
00:05:57.49\00:05:58.97
and there were
cats and other things.
00:05:59.00\00:06:00.37
And I would notice that they're
taking note of everything.
00:06:00.40\00:06:02.47
Yeah, they really do.
00:06:02.50\00:06:03.87
They really wanna
know what's going on
00:06:03.90\00:06:05.34
and they wanna be
with you and around you.
00:06:05.37\00:06:07.58
Well, let me ask you a
personal question about.
00:06:07.61\00:06:09.74
Are they a little stubborn?
00:06:09.77\00:06:11.58
They can be.
Danny more so than Gabe.
00:06:11.61\00:06:15.67
Gabe has to go first
and then Danny will follow.
00:06:15.70\00:06:18.50
Otherwise, hey, it's no go.
00:06:18.53\00:06:20.21
He's just gonna lay down
and lay flat on the ground.
00:06:20.24\00:06:23.33
Okay, has a mind of his own.
00:06:23.36\00:06:24.92
Well, boys and
girls, it's a thrill.
00:06:24.95\00:06:26.32
And Penny, we want to
thank you for bringing these
00:06:26.35\00:06:28.21
beautiful creatures for
us to see today and enjoy.
00:06:28.24\00:06:31.20
And thank you for
bringing your granddaughter
00:06:31.23\00:06:32.84
to be here to pet the animals.
00:06:32.87\00:06:34.98
Boys and girls, we wish you
could be here and enjoy this.
00:06:35.01\00:06:37.28
This is a special thrill for me.
00:06:37.31\00:06:38.82
I have never been able to
have to pet an alpaca before.
00:06:38.85\00:06:43.33
And they are so soft.
00:06:43.36\00:06:44.73
You can't imagine
how soft they are.
00:06:44.76\00:06:46.19
So we will close with
that and just say Ranger Jim
00:06:46.22\00:06:49.20
saying as always,
"Don't forget to tell Jesus
00:06:49.23\00:06:51.38
you love Him because
He really does love you."
00:06:51.41\00:06:56.86
Hey, Dad, guess who I am?
00:07:08.28\00:07:10.36
- You're the
apostle Paul. - Nope.
00:07:10.39\00:07:13.32
Can you give me a hint?
00:07:13.35\00:07:17.27
Oh, you're Jabal, the shepherd.
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.16
- Nope. - Can you
give me another hint?
00:07:20.19\00:07:22.93
I led sheep down with people.
00:07:22.96\00:07:24.71
- Oh, you're
Moses. - That's right.
00:07:24.74\00:07:27.59
All right. I knew I'd get it.
00:07:27.62\00:07:29.99
Boys and girls,
please join us as we play
00:07:30.02\00:07:32.02
the game "Guess
the Bible character."
00:07:32.05\00:07:35.59
Out in the sea in the
middle of the deep blue sea
00:07:40.83\00:07:46.61
A great big
whale was swimming by
00:07:46.64\00:07:49.46
and boy was he in
for a big surprise
00:07:49.49\00:07:52.50
He opened his mouth
and what do you think
00:07:52.53\00:07:55.39
He swallowed brother
whoop as quick as a wink
00:07:55.42\00:07:57.97
You gotta fill in the blanks
00:07:58.00\00:08:00.97
You gotta close
your eyes and think
00:08:01.00\00:08:04.07
It was just like being in a jail
00:08:04.10\00:08:07.28
Down in the belly of a whale
00:08:07.31\00:08:09.82
Who was it?
00:08:09.85\00:08:11.72
Jonah
00:08:11.75\00:08:14.67
Up in a tree,
00:08:14.70\00:08:17.21
in the top of a sycamore tree
00:08:17.24\00:08:20.40
Sat little whoop
by a limb so high
00:08:20.43\00:08:23.19
He heard that
Jesus would be passing by
00:08:23.22\00:08:26.09
He was so short
that he could not see
00:08:26.12\00:08:29.05
And that's why he
climbed up a sycamore tree
00:08:29.08\00:08:31.59
You gotta fill in the blanks
00:08:31.62\00:08:34.51
You gotta close
your eyes and think
00:08:34.54\00:08:37.89
Who did Jesus wanna see?
00:08:37.92\00:08:40.74
Up in a
sycamore tree Who was it?
00:08:40.77\00:08:44.95
Zacchaeus
00:08:44.98\00:08:48.05
Up on a hill on the
top of a big high hill,
00:08:48.08\00:08:53.80
Stood little whoop
with a sling in his hand
00:08:53.83\00:08:56.70
Out to kill the
great giant in the land
00:08:56.73\00:08:59.54
He put in a stone
and the sling went around
00:08:59.57\00:09:02.43
The great big giant
came a tumblin' down
00:09:02.46\00:09:05.01
You gotta fill in the blanks
00:09:05.04\00:09:07.87
You gotta close
your eyes and think
00:09:07.90\00:09:11.20
What was the little boy's name
00:09:11.23\00:09:13.93
that killed that
giant with a sling
00:09:13.96\00:09:16.66
-Who was it? -David
00:09:16.69\00:09:21.34
Down in the den,
00:09:21.37\00:09:23.88
in the bottom of the lion's den
00:09:23.91\00:09:27.01
The king threw
whoop to the hungry beast
00:09:27.04\00:09:29.86
The lion's gettin'
ready for a great big feast
00:09:29.89\00:09:32.86
They smacked their mouths
and they licked their paws
00:09:32.89\00:09:35.72
But God closed their
mouths and locked their jaws.
00:09:35.75\00:09:38.25
You gotta fill in the blanks
00:09:38.28\00:09:41.07
You gotta close
your eyes and think
00:09:41.10\00:09:44.43
Tell me now if you can
00:09:44.46\00:09:47.22
Who was in the
lion's den? Who was it?
00:09:47.25\00:09:51.44
Daniel
00:09:51.47\00:09:54.33
What was the little boy's name
00:09:54.36\00:09:56.95
that killed that
giant with a sling?
00:09:56.98\00:09:59.85
David
00:09:59.88\00:10:01.44
Who did Jesus wanna see
up in the sycamore tree?
00:10:01.47\00:10:06.98
Zacchaeus
00:10:07.01\00:10:08.51
Everybody give a yell
00:10:08.54\00:10:11.40
Who was in the
belly of the whale?
00:10:11.43\00:10:14.16
Jonah
00:10:14.19\00:10:18.01

Hear Christ calling Come
unto me I will give you rest
00:11:21.75\00:11:29.24
Oh, hello, boys and girls.
00:11:38.95\00:11:40.84
Did you know
that every where I go,
00:11:40.87\00:11:42.93
here in the hill
country of Judea,
00:11:42.96\00:11:45.01
people are coming to
see me and my baby John.
00:11:45.04\00:11:48.53
I'm still in
this state of shock.
00:11:48.56\00:11:51.04
Oh, little honey,
do you need to eat--
00:11:51.07\00:11:53.65
oh, you're very uncomfortable.
00:11:53.68\00:11:55.05
Rhoda, Rhoda, come please.
00:11:55.08\00:11:57.71
Come and take little, Johnny.
00:11:57.74\00:11:59.55
He'd need a little nap.
Oh, he just needs a little nap.
00:11:59.58\00:12:04.83
I love you, honey.
00:12:04.86\00:12:06.91
I'll see you later, baby.
00:12:06.94\00:12:09.57
Now where was I?
00:12:09.60\00:12:12.57
The people are coming to
me in a state of shock that I,
00:12:12.60\00:12:15.93
Elizabeth, wife of
Zacharias, the aged priest.
00:12:15.96\00:12:19.79
I've had a beautiful
baby boy at my old age.
00:12:19.82\00:12:23.68
And when they see with their
own eyes that all they have
00:12:23.71\00:12:27.07
heard about me
and my baby is true.
00:12:27.10\00:12:29.80
They ask in utter amazement,
00:12:29.83\00:12:32.03
what manner of
child shall this be?
00:12:32.06\00:12:36.89
Come, and let me
tell you my story.
00:12:36.92\00:12:39.59
As a young girl I was
very blessed to be brought up
00:12:39.62\00:12:42.54
in a home that loved
and served our great God.
00:12:42.57\00:12:46.39
As a matter of fact,
my family were descendants
00:12:46.42\00:12:49.01
of the house of Aaron
and I was given the honor
00:12:49.04\00:12:51.78
of being named after
Aaron's wife, Elisheba.
00:12:51.81\00:12:56.36
And do you know
what my name means?
00:12:56.39\00:12:58.66
It means "my God is abundance."
00:12:58.69\00:13:02.42
And oh, how I love
that for it's so true.
00:13:02.45\00:13:07.23
And as a young
woman I met and married
00:13:07.26\00:13:09.60
a very godly
man named Zacharias,
00:13:09.63\00:13:12.44
who served reverently
as a priest in the temple.
00:13:12.47\00:13:15.73
Our lives together was so
happy except for one thing.
00:13:15.76\00:13:20.82
We both wanted to
have a baby so desperately
00:13:20.85\00:13:24.15
and for years I
prayed earnestly for this,
00:13:24.18\00:13:27.47
but it seemed like God
had other plans for us.
00:13:27.50\00:13:31.11
Then one day the
impossible happened.
00:13:31.14\00:13:34.41
My husband was performing
duties of bringing incense
00:13:34.44\00:13:37.13
in the temple, pleading there
for the pardon of Israel's sins
00:13:37.16\00:13:40.98
and for the
coming of the Messiah.
00:13:41.01\00:13:43.09
Suddenly, the mighty
angel Gabriel appeared to him.
00:13:43.12\00:13:47.62
Zacharias was naturally very
fearful, but the angel Gabriel
00:13:47.65\00:13:51.31
reassured him with the
words, "Fear not, Zacharias.
00:13:51.34\00:13:54.80
For thy prayer is
heard and thy wife Elisheba,
00:13:54.83\00:13:58.86
Elizabeth shall have a son
00:13:58.89\00:14:01.89
and thou shall
call his name John,
00:14:01.92\00:14:05.25
for he shall be great
in the sight of the Lord.
00:14:05.28\00:14:08.17
And shall be
filled with the Holy Ghost
00:14:08.20\00:14:10.54
from his mother's womb.
00:14:10.57\00:14:12.08
He shall make the people ready
for the coming of the Lord."
00:14:12.11\00:14:16.10
My husband was in
shock, even disbelief.
00:14:16.13\00:14:18.66
He asked the
angel, how can this?
00:14:18.69\00:14:20.89
Are thee sure of this?
00:14:20.92\00:14:22.35
For I'm an old man and
my wife is also very old.
00:14:22.38\00:14:27.59
The angel then told him
that because he did not believe
00:14:27.62\00:14:30.47
the words of God that he
would not be able to speak
00:14:30.50\00:14:33.91
until all the words
spoken had come true.
00:14:33.94\00:14:37.06
So after Zacharias' week of duty
at the temple was completed,
00:14:37.09\00:14:40.93
he returned to our home
00:14:40.96\00:14:42.65
up in the hill
country of Palestine.
00:14:42.68\00:14:45.62
You can imagine
how shocked I was.
00:14:45.65\00:14:48.26
When I-- when he came
home and was unable to speak
00:14:48.29\00:14:51.56
a single word to me,
I had so many questions
00:14:51.59\00:14:55.58
to ask but he could not talk.
00:14:55.61\00:14:57.90
He could only use sign language
00:14:57.93\00:15:01.01
or write his
thoughts on a writing tablet.
00:15:01.04\00:15:03.52
But oh my, my heart
leapt for joy when he told me
00:15:03.55\00:15:07.17
that the angel Gabriel had said,
"That I would have a baby."
00:15:07.20\00:15:12.29
I must be honest with
you when I heard these things
00:15:12.32\00:15:15.39
I was overwhelmed and just
had to be alone for a while
00:15:15.42\00:15:18.42
to ponder the
miracle and wonder of it all.
00:15:18.45\00:15:21.66
I, Elizabeth was going to
have a baby in my old age.
00:15:21.69\00:15:25.81
His name was to be John.
00:15:25.84\00:15:27.55
A name very unheard
of in all my family.
00:15:27.58\00:15:30.35
He was going to be the
one who would actually,
00:15:30.38\00:15:32.36
announce the
coming of the Messiah.
00:15:32.39\00:15:35.19
Then the time for the
Messiah was here just like
00:15:35.22\00:15:37.87
God had revealed to us in
our studies of the Scriptures.
00:15:37.90\00:15:41.48
And if I'm to be the mother
of such a great prophet of God,
00:15:41.51\00:15:45.20
how am I to raisehim
up? How should I teach him?
00:15:45.23\00:15:48.75
How shall I protect him
from the evil all around me?
00:15:48.78\00:15:53.63
The more I prayed the more
God showed me that I was to live
00:15:53.66\00:15:56.89
a quiet and a simple life
away from the noise of the city,
00:15:56.92\00:16:00.71
teaching him also
from the Scriptures
00:16:00.74\00:16:02.66
and from the many
lessons of nature.
00:16:02.69\00:16:04.98
I was to remind him
often of his miracle birth
00:16:05.01\00:16:08.34
and how God had given
him a special anointing
00:16:08.37\00:16:11.11
to prepare the whole
world for the Savior's coming.
00:16:11.14\00:16:14.87
This guidance from God
brought me great peace.
00:16:14.90\00:16:19.10
Then in the sixth
month of my pregnancy
00:16:19.13\00:16:21.50
the most blessed event happened.
00:16:21.53\00:16:23.91
My young cousin, Mary
whom I loved very deeply
00:16:23.94\00:16:27.56
who had studied the prophecies
about the coming of the Messiah
00:16:27.59\00:16:30.80
with me came to
visit Zacharias and myself.
00:16:30.83\00:16:34.70
When I heard Mary's greeting
I could plainly feel the baby
00:16:34.73\00:16:38.84
in my womb leap with
joy and at the same time
00:16:38.87\00:16:43.08
I felt the most
powerful anointing
00:16:43.11\00:16:45.61
of the Spirit of
God descend on me.
00:16:45.64\00:16:48.41
With joy and keen
awareness of God's presence
00:16:48.44\00:16:51.41
I began to
speak in a loud voice,
00:16:51.44\00:16:53.95
words of praise and
thanks giving to God.
00:16:53.98\00:16:57.86
All of a sudden, God revealed
to me that my very cousin,
00:16:57.89\00:17:02.25
Mary was pregnant
with the Son of God,
00:17:02.28\00:17:05.54
the Messiah was actually here.
00:17:05.57\00:17:08.13
The Messiah was
actually in my house.
00:17:08.16\00:17:11.55
Oh, how honored I was and oh,
00:17:11.58\00:17:14.04
how blessed of all women
was my little cousin, Mary.
00:17:14.07\00:17:17.99
She knew that the life in
her womb was the very Messiah
00:17:18.02\00:17:21.98
and she just had to come
and share that great news
00:17:22.01\00:17:25.35
with me because
Gabriel actually told her that
00:17:25.38\00:17:29.46
I was pregnant with the prophet
00:17:29.49\00:17:31.92
that would
prepare the way for Him.
00:17:31.95\00:17:35.58
Oh, for the next three
months Mary stayed at my home.
00:17:35.61\00:17:39.08
It was a great blessing to get
up every morning and know that
00:17:39.11\00:17:42.50
the Messiah and His great
prophet were present with us.
00:17:42.53\00:17:46.84
Mary and I prayed
much together and shared
00:17:46.87\00:17:49.86
so many thoughts and feelings.
00:17:49.89\00:17:52.51
Then came the time
for my baby to be born,
00:17:52.54\00:17:56.05
all my family and
friends were eagerly waiting.
00:17:56.08\00:17:58.68
Some of them just to see,
if it really was going to be
00:17:58.71\00:18:01.64
a boy like we said
it was going to be,
00:18:01.67\00:18:03.82
and others were very
concerned for my well being
00:18:03.85\00:18:06.71
since I was so old
having my first baby,
00:18:06.74\00:18:09.75
but I knew God was with me
and all would turn out well.
00:18:09.78\00:18:13.83
Zacharias was
equally excited and very glad
00:18:13.86\00:18:17.08
that that day of
the return of his speech
00:18:17.11\00:18:19.67
would soon be here.
00:18:19.70\00:18:21.07
And sure enough, God blessed
us with a healthy baby boy.
00:18:21.10\00:18:27.19
Then on the eighth
day after his birth,
00:18:27.22\00:18:29.39
we took the baby to the
temple to be circumcised
00:18:29.42\00:18:31.82
as was the
requirement of the law.
00:18:31.85\00:18:34.81
Every one present wanted
him to be called Zacharias
00:18:34.84\00:18:37.75
after his father, but I
quickly spoke up and said,
00:18:37.78\00:18:40.03
"Not so, he
shall be called John"
00:18:40.06\00:18:42.98
so they turned to my
husband who could not yet speak
00:18:43.01\00:18:45.95
and handed him a writing table.
00:18:45.98\00:18:49.10
Zacharias simply
wrote, "His name is John."
00:18:49.13\00:18:55.19
Right then, an
amazing thing happened
00:18:55.22\00:18:57.78
Zacharias' mouth was opened.
00:18:57.81\00:19:00.38
His tongue was loose
and he began to talk again.
00:19:00.41\00:19:04.05
And oh, how
abundantly he praised God.
00:19:04.08\00:19:07.90
So boys and girls, oh,
look, look who's coming,
00:19:07.93\00:19:13.62
it's my baby John.
00:19:13.65\00:19:15.66
Thank you, Rhoda.
00:19:15.69\00:19:17.06
Oh, hi, Johnny.
00:19:17.09\00:19:18.93
I love you.
00:19:18.96\00:19:20.33
I love you.
00:19:20.36\00:19:21.73
So boys and girls, you can
see from my story that John,
00:19:21.76\00:19:26.08
that God has a plan and a
timing for all that He does.
00:19:26.11\00:19:30.10
And that with Him
nothing is impossible,
00:19:30.13\00:19:33.55
we only must believe God's word
00:19:33.58\00:19:36.60
and desire His
will for our lives.
00:19:36.63\00:19:39.50
Then all things will
work together for our good.
00:19:39.53\00:19:44.48
My Johnny, yeah,
did you have a nap?
00:19:44.51\00:19:49.12
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:05.02\00:20:08.95
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:08.98\00:20:12.78
Little ones like
me, Sat upon His knee,
00:20:12.81\00:20:16.63
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:16.66\00:20:20.41
Jesus loves the little
ones like you, you, you.
00:20:20.44\00:20:24.18
Jesus loves the little
ones like you, you, you.
00:20:24.21\00:20:28.00
Little ones like
you, Jesus loves them too
00:20:28.03\00:20:31.88
Jesus loves the little
ones like you, you, you.
00:20:31.91\00:20:35.68
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:35.71\00:20:39.36
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:39.39\00:20:43.27
Little ones like
me, Sat upon His knee,
00:20:43.30\00:20:47.14
Jesus loves the
little ones like me, me, me.
00:20:47.17\00:20:51.18
Thank you for that beautiful
song that was Holly Greer's
00:20:59.78\00:21:02.53
group from Collegedale,
Tennessee and thank you so much.
00:21:02.56\00:21:06.30
Boys and girls, I would like
00:21:06.33\00:21:07.97
to have you meet a
special friend today.
00:21:08.00\00:21:09.79
Her name is Camille.
00:21:09.82\00:21:11.19
Hi, Camille.
00:21:11.22\00:21:12.59
She's waving to
you, boys and girls.
00:21:12.62\00:21:14.39
Now Camille, you
recently shared Jesus
00:21:14.42\00:21:16.59
with this friend at your church.
00:21:16.62\00:21:18.66
Can you tell us about that?
00:21:18.69\00:21:20.52
You had a friend that
went to church with you.
00:21:20.55\00:21:23.89
And we took her to our house.
00:21:23.92\00:21:26.75
Now why did you
take her to your house?
00:21:26.78\00:21:29.99
Because we're going to
invite her to eat lunch with us.
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.97
After church.
00:21:34.00\00:21:35.37
Now when she comes to church
00:21:35.40\00:21:36.77
does she have all pretty dresses
00:21:36.80\00:21:38.20
and come all
fancy to church. No.
00:21:38.23\00:21:40.45
No. What does she
usually dress like?
00:21:40.48\00:21:44.04
She used to have
just pants on and--
00:21:44.07\00:21:47.65
Her play clothes. Yeah.
00:21:47.68\00:21:49.48
So when you brought her
to your home after church
00:21:49.51\00:21:53.21
and you were gonna get
ready to eat your lunch.
00:21:53.24\00:21:55.95
You told me you took
her up to your bedroom
00:21:55.98\00:21:57.94
and why did you do that?
00:21:57.97\00:21:59.34
Why did you do that?
00:21:59.37\00:22:00.98
I took her into
my clothes and said,
00:22:01.01\00:22:03.40
"You can pick
any dress, you want."
00:22:03.43\00:22:05.75
Any dress she wanted?
00:22:05.78\00:22:07.28
Now let me ask
you, did she choose
00:22:07.31\00:22:09.14
the ugliest dress there? No. No.
00:22:09.17\00:22:11.94
What did she choose?
00:22:11.97\00:22:13.34
The prettiest one.
00:22:13.37\00:22:14.74
She saw the prettiest one.
00:22:14.77\00:22:16.14
Was it your
favorite one? Mm-hmm.
00:22:16.17\00:22:18.49
It was your favorite one.
00:22:18.52\00:22:19.89
And did she pick
just one dress? No.
00:22:19.92\00:22:22.83
How many did she pick?
00:22:22.86\00:22:24.23
Three. Three dresses.
00:22:24.26\00:22:25.75
And did you tell her oh, no,
00:22:25.78\00:22:27.15
you can't have those,
those are my favorite.
00:22:27.18\00:22:28.93
You just get to have the ugly
one, is that what you told her?
00:22:28.96\00:22:31.48
No. No. What did you tell her?
00:22:31.51\00:22:33.99
I told her, "You can
have any dress, you wanted."
00:22:34.02\00:22:36.29
And did you give her all three?
00:22:36.32\00:22:38.82
You did. Why? Did
that make you really sad?
00:22:38.85\00:22:42.34
It made me really happy.
00:22:42.37\00:22:43.93
It made me really happy.
00:22:43.96\00:22:45.92
How could that
make you really happy?
00:22:45.95\00:22:47.32
You just lost your
three best dresses.
00:22:47.35\00:22:50.63
Kind of sharing Jesus.
00:22:50.66\00:22:52.89
Sharing Jesus
always makes us happy,
00:22:52.92\00:22:55.20
doesn't it, boys and girls?
00:22:55.23\00:22:57.07
You know, Camille when
she had Jesus in her heart.
00:22:57.10\00:22:59.84
She opened up her closet
and said you can have anything.
00:23:00.00\00:23:03.38
And that's what Jesus
does with us, doesn't He?
00:23:03.41\00:23:05.57
He just wants us to share--
00:23:05.60\00:23:07.07
He fills our heart
with that kind of love.
00:23:07.10\00:23:09.58
And He wants us to
just share that with others.
00:23:09.61\00:23:11.82
So you really did share Jesus.
00:23:11.85\00:23:13.60
Well, I wanna share some letters
with you, boys and girls.
00:23:13.63\00:23:16.18
This one says,
"Dear Miss Brenda,"
00:23:16.21\00:23:18.31
and it's from
Johannesburg, South Africa
00:23:18.34\00:23:21.65
said, "My name is Lisa
and I'm four years old.
00:23:21.68\00:23:25.10
I cannot write so my sister
is writing this letter for me.
00:23:25.13\00:23:28.06
I've been watching Kids Time
for the past three years now
00:23:28.09\00:23:30.96
and I'm glad to tell you that
I enjoy the music so very much
00:23:30.99\00:23:34.41
and the Cooking
Time. I love Miss Katie.
00:23:34.44\00:23:37.48
I will send my photo next time
00:23:37.51\00:23:39.45
because my mom
is looking for one
00:23:39.48\00:23:41.20
that's big
enough to show on T.V.
00:23:41.23\00:23:43.28
I share Jesus by
sharing my food with others
00:23:43.31\00:23:46.02
and my mom helps me
give out all my clothes
00:23:46.05\00:23:50.02
that I outgrow to those
who are in need of them.
00:23:50.05\00:23:53.00
And on Saturday, I ask my dad
00:23:53.03\00:23:55.04
to pick my friend
up on our way to church
00:23:55.07\00:23:57.46
so they can have
transportation to church.
00:23:57.49\00:23:59.76
Well, see Miss Brenda,
I have a lot to tell you
00:23:59.79\00:24:02.51
but my sister is
getting tired of writing
00:24:02.54\00:24:04.76
so please send
me an activity book.
00:24:04.79\00:24:06.75
Until next time,
goodbye, your friend Lisa."
00:24:06.78\00:24:09.47
Well, thank you,
Lisa for your letter.
00:24:09.50\00:24:11.27
And I look forward to
hearing from you again
00:24:11.30\00:24:13.52
and when you send your pictures
00:24:13.55\00:24:14.92
so that I can show the
boys and girls at home,
00:24:14.95\00:24:17.28
what you look like, okay.
00:24:17.31\00:24:19.51
Here I have
another letter from Melissa
00:24:19.54\00:24:22.15
from New Bronx, New York.
00:24:22.18\00:24:24.60
And Melissa did send a picture,
00:24:24.63\00:24:26.23
can you hold up that
picture for me? Right there.
00:24:26.26\00:24:29.41
And it said, "Dear Miss Brenda,
00:24:29.44\00:24:31.21
I share Jesus by praying
for my family and the old people
00:24:31.24\00:24:34.80
that are so sick
and need help walking.
00:24:34.83\00:24:37.25
My family loves
praying about Jesus
00:24:37.28\00:24:39.72
and waiting for
Him to come again soon.
00:24:39.75\00:24:42.33
Please pray for my
family too. From, Melissa."
00:24:42.36\00:24:45.52
Well, thank you, Melissa.
00:24:45.55\00:24:46.92
And thank you
forsending your picture.
00:24:46.95\00:24:48.32
And keep sharing Jesus
00:24:48.35\00:24:50.20
and yes, we'll say a
prayer for Melissa's family.
00:24:50.23\00:24:52.84
Won't you, boys and girls?
00:24:52.87\00:24:54.24
You'll help me pray
for Melissa's family.
00:24:54.27\00:24:56.13
Then we have, let's see,
00:24:56.16\00:24:57.71
oh, we have so many letters
don't know which to choose from.
00:24:57.74\00:24:59.64
I love this one.
00:24:59.67\00:25:01.04
See, it's all
decorated with stickers
00:25:01.07\00:25:03.00
and this one is from
Hungry Horse, Montana.
00:25:03.03\00:25:06.79
And no picture in
this one, I don't think.
00:25:06.82\00:25:10.10
Nope, says, "Dear Miss Brenda,
00:25:10.13\00:25:13.37
My sister and I would
like to join Kids Club,
00:25:13.40\00:25:15.98
can you join up right
away? Kayla and Megan."
00:25:16.01\00:25:19.78
Yes, Kayla and Megan.
00:25:19.81\00:25:21.19
You can join Kids
Club. Thank you for writing.
00:25:21.22\00:25:23.89
And boys and girls, if
you want to join Kids Club.
00:25:23.92\00:25:27.09
It's not too late.
00:25:27.12\00:25:28.64
Just write to
me and let me know,
00:25:28.67\00:25:30.56
make sure you give
me a good return address
00:25:30.59\00:25:32.42
so we can get the
lessons to you, right away.
00:25:32.45\00:25:34.56
And this one is from
Beaver Town, Michigan.
00:25:34.59\00:25:37.76
And it says, "Dear Miss Brenda,
00:25:37.79\00:25:40.14
I share Jesus when I go
visit my brother Nathan,
00:25:40.17\00:25:43.51
when he asks me to
play video games on Sabbath.
00:25:43.54\00:25:46.06
I say, no, because that's
not what Jesus wants me to do.
00:25:46.09\00:25:49.30
My name is Jacob and
I'm almost 10 years old
00:25:49.33\00:25:52.42
and I really like Kids
Time. Sincerely, Jacob."
00:25:52.45\00:25:55.99
Well, Jacob, thank you so much.
00:25:56.02\00:25:57.64
You know what,
you do set an example.
00:25:57.67\00:25:59.39
You share Jesus
when you set an example.
00:25:59.42\00:26:01.20
When you're doing the
right thing it does share Jesus.
00:26:01.23\00:26:04.45
And I'm glad to hear that
you did share Jesus that way.
00:26:04.48\00:26:07.55
Let's see if I
have one more time,
00:26:07.58\00:26:09.25
this is from
Florida, Apopka, Florida
00:26:09.28\00:26:12.90
and it says, "Dear Miss Brenda,
00:26:12.93\00:26:15.02
My name is Tommy and I
want to be on Kids Club member.
00:26:15.05\00:26:19.78
Love, Tommy."
00:26:19.81\00:26:21.18
Well, Tommy,
you're in Apopka, Florida.
00:26:21.21\00:26:23.00
I'll be happy to sign you up
00:26:23.03\00:26:24.61
and I thank you
Camille for being on Kids Time.
00:26:24.64\00:26:27.70
That's all the time we
have today, boys and girls.
00:26:27.73\00:26:30.13
I want you to
remember wherever you go,
00:26:30.16\00:26:32.51
whatever you do, it's
Kids Time to share Jesus.
00:26:32.54\00:26:36.83
