00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus, 00:10 it's time to share there's a world out there. 00:13 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:17 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:20 Kids Time, Kids Time, Kids Time. 00:24 48, 49 and 50, hi boys and girls, 00:28 do you see this jar. This jar is a special jar 00:31 for two reasons. One, because my girlfriend 00:34 Marie gave it to me and I like to keep all 00:38 my coins in there. We actually have a joke 00:40 about shoes and can you see all the shoes 00:43 on here and this says right there look at all 00:46 those shoes and this says shoe shopping, 00:48 but you know what, this money isn't going 00:51 for shoes. This money is going for mission work. 00:54 You know there was a young man named 00:56 John D. Rockefeller and Rockefeller senior 00:59 who become a millionaire when he was in his 20s. 01:02 Now by the times Mr. Rockefeller was 50 01:04 he was known as the richest man in the whole 01:07 world but was he happy? No, he was miserable 01:12 and he became so sick that the doctor told 01:15 them he had only a short time to live. 01:17 Mr. Rockefeller's greed was destroying his life, 01:20 so you know what he did he decided to give 01:23 his money away to the churches 01:24 and the hospitals. Many advances in medical 01:27 research were made because of that money. 01:29 And guess what happened to Mr. Rockefeller, 01:32 his health improved and he lived to the ripe 01:34 old age of 90, that's right 90. 01:38 You know generosity probably saved his life. 01:40 Our Bible story today is about a generous father 01:44 and a greedy son. The father showed 01:46 his generosity not only by giving money 01:48 but also forgiveness. And forgiveness is worth 01:52 a whole lot more than money isn't it. 01:54 Before we hear our story though, 01:56 lets visit with Ranger Jim for a few minutes. 02:05 Hi boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying 02:07 welcome to Nature Time. We're glad you could 02:09 join us today. We're at Knoxville, Tennessee, 02:11 a place called Ijams Nature Center 02:13 and it is a beautiful place with many, many, 02:16 many, many flowers and we have our friends 02:18 Peg with us today and Peg is going to tell us 02:20 something about these beautiful flower. 02:22 Peg, tell the boys and girls about what 02:23 you have here. Well Ranger Jim thanks 02:26 for coming to Ijams. We really appreciate you 02:28 being here. We enjoy it here. 02:29 Thank you, I've got a few different native 02:31 wild flowers here, I've got a yellow coreopsis 02:35 and a blanket flower, purple phlox 02:38 and beardstongue, they're all natives to 02:41 East Tennessee. They all are naturally developed 02:44 here over time and they're used to our 02:46 conditions. They're used to the hot weather 02:48 and the cold weather. They last through 02:50 the winter, they come out every year, 02:51 they die back in the Fall, they Spring out 02:53 in the Spring and these are some of our 02:55 first really spectator blooms here 02:57 in the Spring. With the coming of this spring. 02:59 Now tell me about them as an individual, 03:02 what it likes are the soil type maybe. 03:05 Right, well the coreopsis this little 03:07 yellow one here is probably the most 03:09 hardy, it has, it can take sun, it can shade, 03:13 it really likes living in the poorest of soils. 03:16 Around in East Tennessee we have lot of red clay 03:19 soil and this little flower loves that kind of soil. 03:22 It doesn't have to be like a rose, 03:23 I grow roses, you have to pamper them, 03:25 you have to feed them just right, right. 03:27 Give them water if you don't it will say 03:28 I am not gonna grow, this guy grows anywhere. 03:30 This is one tough little flower yeah, 03:32 it will grow just about anywhere and like it said 03:35 if you have place that's really sunny it does well. 03:38 If you have a place that's little bit of shade 03:39 or little bit of sun does really well. 03:41 If your place is all shady, this is a good 03:44 one to plant. Wonderful, it's a wonderful plant. 03:46 And when it dies back you can pull off to 03:49 the seed head, save that and plant yourselves 03:51 thousands of others because in the seed 03:53 head down in here. I can see. 03:56 There are thousands of seeds. 03:57 Wonderful. So each flower would produce 03:59 a thousand other flowers. Wonderful now 04:01 what was the name of this one, 04:02 that's a beautiful flower? This little white 04:03 one is called beardstongue and we have several 04:06 different varieties of this. Oh I see inside. 04:08 It's related to snapdragons who lots 04:10 are familiar with that. Right, that's white color, 04:12 it looks something like that. 04:13 And they're closely related it's another one 04:15 that really, really likes the hot, hot sun, 04:17 if you got a place that doesn't get much shade, 04:20 this is great plant for that it doesn't drupe 04:22 you know some times in the summer, right. 04:24 You have flowers that drupe down, 04:25 this little flower stays standing up right 04:29 in the hottest of temperatures. 04:30 Yeah, and boys and girls you perhaps have seen 04:32 in the garden you may have seen things 04:34 like squash plants or something like that. 04:36 Yeah. If it gets hot they begin to wilt back, 04:38 but this guy can take the hot sun. 04:39 Loves the hot sun. That's why he's good here 04:41 in this part of Tennessee, you mean 04:43 it gets hot here? Just a little. Just a little hot 04:46 I imagine so. Yeah, yeah. Alright now, 04:47 well what about the, we haven't talk about 04:50 this one. This is phlox, a lot of folks are 04:52 familiar with phlox as what's call a creeping 04:56 plant, it looks like a blanket. Right it runs 04:58 along. But there are different varieties, 05:00 this particular variety is a stand up variety gets 05:02 2, 3 sometimes even 4 feet tall and just creates 05:06 a huge pink blanket around your yard. 05:09 So it's very, very pretty. If you have 05:12 a lot of grass and you have a place you wanna 05:14 just put a little bit of color this is a great 05:16 thing to plant. Now this is just a few that we have 05:19 that we're showing in the show. 05:20 Around the nature center there are many, 05:23 I notice when I came in there were some 05:25 Dutch clover. Yes, the honey bees love that 05:29 this time of year that's where they get a lot 05:31 of there pollen to pass on to other plants and 05:34 it's where they get their nectar to make honey. 05:35 That's, and I was thinking when you were talking 05:38 about this plant that grows in almost any 05:40 conditions back where I am, I am a beekeeper, 05:43 and we have plants like that. We have one that's 05:47 known as knapweed and the knapweed 05:49 boys and girls has this characteristic the same 05:51 as this plant. It grows almost anywhere, 05:54 it doesn't, you don't have to pamper it, 05:55 you put it out, it grows, it grows wild, 05:58 fills in all the dead spaces and it's just gives 06:00 his pollen and it gives his nectar for all the 06:05 insects that come and everything and as I said 06:08 before some of the flowers, going get tough, 06:10 no I am not gonna do it any way like that so. 06:12 Thank you Peg, it's was wonderful learning about 06:14 this boys and girls learning about these 06:16 beautiful flowers. So Ranger Jim as always 06:18 saying boys and girls don't forget to tell Jesus 06:20 that you love him because he really does love you. 06:33 Have you ever done something you knew 06:36 you shouldn't do, sometimes it is hard to do 06:39 what is right, but if we ask Jesus he will help us 06:43 to be a Christian in our hearts? 06:54 Lord, I want to be a Christian 06:59 in my heart, in my heart, 07:03 Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart, 07:12 in my heart, in my heart 07:20 Lord, I want to be a Christian in my heart. 07:29 Lord, I want to be like Jesus 07:33 in my heart, in my heart, 07:37 Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart, 07:45 in my heart, in my heart, 07:53 Lord, I want to be like Jesus in my heart. 08:01 Lord, I want to be more loving 08:05 in my heart, in my heart, 08:09 Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart, 08:17 in my heart, in my heart, 08:25 Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart 08:33 Lord, I want to be more loving in my heart. 08:52 Welcome to Learning Time say have you ever 08:56 wanted to fly, have you ever wanted to fly? 08:58 Yes. Yeah, I've got Christian to help me 09:02 today, and I've got Alison. Let me ask them 09:04 a question or two alright. Hey Alison, 09:07 have you ever flown, have you ever wanted to fly. 09:11 Oh I like to fly but you know what when I go 09:14 like this I don't fly at all but what does fly 09:18 is an animal that God made what animal it? 09:21 Bird. Oh its bird, that's right Christian 09:24 have you ever flown. No. 09:25 Oh today we are gonna look at flight. 09:27 Now we are gonna give a peace of paper to Alison 09:31 and Christian, why don't you hold that just 09:33 like this. We're going look at some of the 09:35 forces that cause airplanes and birds 09:38 to fly. Now we can take that piece of paper 09:40 just like this and if you're at home 09:42 watching, you can take a little piece of paper, 09:45 and you can do this experiment too, 09:47 it's really interesting. Now we're gonna blow on 09:49 top of our strip of paper. Go ahead 09:51 and let's see what happens to this paper. 09:55 It flies doesn't it, it lifts right up just like 09:59 that and it flies. Any time we have fast 10:02 moving air, that fast moving air creates low 10:05 air pressure and so high air pressure just 10:08 does this, it lifts the paper right up 10:10 in the air, and if you were an airplane 10:12 or a bird you would be flying. Hey, 10:16 that is great, you did a good job. 10:18 Now I've got another thing for them to 10:20 figure out. We have a ball and a cup, 10:23 now these are little ping-pong balls, 10:25 I can take a ball and I can pour it and dump 10:27 it in to the cups and I want you to try that, 10:30 okay. And Alison you can have two here, 10:32 put your strip of paper down. 10:34 Can you put one ball into the other one, 10:37 just I mean take one cup and pour that 10:39 ball out. Hey, they're doing a great job. 10:41 How you doing at home with this. 10:43 Now, it's going to get harder and this is 10:46 really interesting. Okay, stop what you are doing. 10:48 Now let me take yours Christian. 10:50 Now here is the problem for you to solve. 10:54 I want the ball in your one cup to end up 10:57 in the other cup, but you can't pour it, 11:00 you just can't pour it like this and you can't 11:02 reach in and take it out with your fingers, 11:03 you can't do that either, and you can't jump up 11:06 and down likes with them, so go ahead 11:08 and solve the problem. You can't tilt the cup, 11:10 you just can hold them just like that, 11:12 right beside each other, can you get that 11:13 ball into the other cup. No you can't bounce 11:16 them up and down, you can't pour them, 11:18 you can't lift one and lower the other one, 11:21 I wonder how they're gonna solve this problem, 11:23 can you do that? Can you do it? 11:26 Can you do it? Hey, let's use that formula, 11:29 the formula for flight, shall we try that. 11:32 Hey, let's use Bernoulli principle, 11:35 that's what that's called. I am gonna use 11:37 Alison's, I am gonna take her cup, 11:40 I am gonna make some fast moving air go 11:42 right over the top of her cup, we're gonna 11:45 create low air pressure and the high air 11:48 pressure is gonna lift that ball Christian right 11:50 out of the cup and it just might end up 11:52 in here with a little practice. Are you ready 11:54 to try this at home too? Let's try it, 11:56 I'm gonna blow straight across the cups; 11:58 let's see if we can do this, here we go. 12:02 And it landed on the floor, I get to try 12:04 this again. Let's try this, takes a little 12:06 practice but the ball lifts right out of the 12:08 cup doesn't it. Oh! This is so interesting, 12:10 lets try it again here we go, oh I almost 12:13 caught it, how about what you can try the 12:15 same thing Christian, Christian gonna do it 12:17 over there. Oh almost got it, I tell you what 12:21 I am gonna give up on that one right here 12:23 you can blow on this cup because I have had 12:25 that cup by mouth right here, why don't you 12:27 try that. Can you get that cup to blow right 12:29 out of that, that's interesting to me. 12:32 Every time we learn something 12:34 new about science, we're learning something 12:37 about our creator God. 12:56 I'm not happy about this, I just want you to know. 12:58 Why, why, why, it's something that we must do. 13:01 Why would we go to a feast to serve somebody 13:04 who just ran off and left his father. 13:06 He's not a good friend to you, 13:07 what kind of friend is that? 13:08 You don't just go to people when they do good 13:10 things you also support them when 13:12 they've come back from a long way 13:13 like this young man has done. 13:14 Well you know what if he ripped his father off, 13:16 he will rip you off too and I am not gonna 13:18 have it, I'm just not going to deal with 13:19 that kind of thing. Wife, you ought not be so 13:21 judgmental about this young man. 13:22 Judgments, now I'm judgmental, I'll tell you. 13:28 Hey, what are you doing? Look this is money 13:31 that we work hard, so you are not going 13:33 to give to some beggar man. 13:34 I am sure he is a no different than a 13:36 prodigal son. I'm just tired of you helping out 13:38 these people who can't even help themselves. 13:40 This is our money now we work hard. 13:42 Wife, wife, wife. We're good Christians, 13:44 we do what suppose to do, 13:46 I am not having it, I am not having it. 13:47 Wife, listen, would you listen wife. 13:48 Please forgive us sir, my wife she is not mean, 13:52 she is just misguided about something 13:54 that happened to some friends. 13:55 Misguiding, now I am misguided. 13:56 Listen to her. Here is our story, 13:59 some good friends of ours, a dear friend 14:01 of ours, a young man, very greedy, 14:04 very selfish says to his father. 14:07 That is true. Says to his father, 14:09 father give me half of what is mine, 14:12 half of your property, so that I may go 14:15 in to the city and become rich. 14:18 His father sold half of everything that he had 14:20 and he gave the money to his son and 14:23 his son ran away to the city, he lived in. 14:26 He ran off with his father's money and now 14:29 he wants to know, and busy and celebrate 14:32 then coming back. As far as I am concerned 14:34 the family would have done better if he just 14:36 would have stayed where he was at, 14:37 sinners should not, I have no forgiveness 14:40 for sinners, no. We are good Christian 14:42 people I tell you. The man did do wrong, 14:44 he did go away, he did waste his father's money. 14:47 We went to a far away country. 14:48 He waste his father's money, 14:52 spent it on women, strong drink, 14:56 on his friends in gambling venues, 14:59 doing horrible things you are exactly right. 15:02 After that there was a great famine 15:05 in the land and he had wasted all of his 15:07 father's money and there was nothing 15:09 that he could do. Here he was in a 15:12 strange land, no money, nothing to do, 15:14 no one to love him, all of his so called 15:17 friends were gone. That's what he deserves, 15:18 that's what he deserves. However this is not a 15:21 story about the son as many of you 15:24 all think it is. It's really a story about 15:27 the loving father. After wasting all of his 15:30 father's money after running all around 15:33 the country doing horrible things he should 15:35 not have done, this young man had to eat 15:39 from a pig's trough in order to survive. 15:43 When he had his face in the pig's trough, 15:47 eating the pig's food, he looked down 15:49 and said don't my father's servants eat 15:53 better than this. Are they not treated better 15:56 than this, so the young man goes back 16:00 home to his father. You would think that 16:04 his father would not accept him. 16:06 Right. For his horrible behavior, 16:09 you would think his father will kick him out, 16:12 but the father was so happy that his son 16:15 was simply alive that he ran, he embraced 16:20 his son, took the special ring off his finger, 16:25 the coat off of his back put it on his son 16:29 and welcomed him back home. 16:32 The story of the feast that we are going 16:34 to is not about a son who sins, 16:36 but about an ever loving, ever lasting father 16:41 who always remembers and takes care of his child. 16:45 And he came home. And he came home, 16:48 and his father accepted him with open arms, 16:51 so that's what why we're going to this feast, 16:53 that's why it's a happy occasion, 16:55 not a sad occasion, and that's why our heart 16:58 should not be hard but they should always 17:00 be open to a loving God 17:01 who takes care of all of his people. 17:03 Oh you're right honey, you go 17:06 and have a good time okay. 17:07 You are right. Alright, God bless you. 17:13 We're going to the feast. 17:34 The Lord is good, the Lord is good. 17:41 And blessed the world who puts his trust in Him 17:46 The Lord is good, the Lord is good 17:51 Taste and see that the Lord is good! 17:57 The Lord is good, the Lord is good 18:03 And blessed the world who puts his trust in Him 18:08 The Lord is good, the Lord is good 18:14 Taste and see that the Lord is good! 18:19 Taste and see that the Lord is good! 18:36 Hi boys and girls, I have my friend Caleb 18:38 with me today.

Yes, we're gonna introduce what, 18:46 the book of the day, that right. 18:49 And boys and girls this is such a wonderful 18:52 book its call 'The Palomino by 18:54 Katy Pistole. It's the sunrise farm series 18:56 and its book one. Listen to this, it says 19:00 Jenny Thomas has her heart set on one thing, 19:02 a golden palomino all her own. But it seems 19:06 like the only horse she will ever have is the one 19:08 in the poster on her bedroom wall. 19:10 At least there's horse camp to look forward 19:13 to she thought, so if she can earn some money. 19:16 Jenny's week at Sonrise Farms is pure heaven! 19:19 Her natural talent in the saddle and hard work 19:21 cleaning the stalls leads to a dream job 19:24 and the happiest summer of her life. 19:26 Along with lessons in horsemanship, 19:28 Jenny learns to trust God more and more. 19:30 And with her dad's help, she commits her heart 19:33 and her life to Jesus. Her growing faith 19:36 and maturity will serve Jenny well in the 19:38 life-and-death challenges she will face with 19:40 her beloved horses. It says an auction 19:45 and a jumping competition become the ultimate 19:47 tests for Jenny's skills, and her faith as well. 19:50 Oh I can't wait to hear more about this you wanna 19:53 read this book boys and girls, The Palomino 19:55 by Katy Pistole.
