00:03 It's time to share there's world out there,
00:06 looking for a friend like Jesus. 00:09 It's time to share there's a world out there, 00:13 let's tell them that he loves us so, let's tell them 00:17 that he loves us so. Kids time, kids time, 00:23 kids time, kids time. 00:26 Hi! Boys and Girls. Today, I want you to think 00:27 back to when someone told you that 00:29 they appreciated something very special about you. 00:32 Now maybe it was your smile that cheer them up 00:34 or maybe they enjoyed listening you play 00:37 your violin or your piano or trumpet or something, 00:40 maybe your mother said thank you for 00:42 doing such a good job cleaning your room 00:45 or maybe you have saved some of your money 00:47 and send it to the mission field to help by food 00:49 or Bibles for the people there. 00:52 You might have even been extra patient 00:54 with your baby brother or sister. 00:57 Well, the Bible says that every good gift 00:59 comes from our father in heaven. 01:01 Do you know, God has given you special gifts 01:03 and he wants you to use those gifts to bless others. 01:05 Those gifts are called your talents. 01:08 Now they include all that you have, all that you are, 01:12 and all that you can do. Now all those things 01:16 come from God and he wants you to use them 01:18 to help people understand how good 01:19 and how kind and how generous he is. 01:23 Now, why don't you do something for me here. 01:24 I want you to grab a piece of paper and a pencil, 01:26 and I want you to make two columns 01:29 and I will do that right here. First, I'm gonna draw 01:32 a line right down the centre like that 01:35 and I'm gonna write, right on the top, 01:38 talents right here. Okay, now in this column, 01:43 I want you to write down all the talents that God 01:46 has given you, but in this column I'm gonna write uses 01:50 and I want you to write in this column 01:52 all the ways that you might use those gifts 01:56 to help others know Jesus. Well isn't that a good idea. 01:59 Well, our Bible story today is all about using 02:02 our talents for Jesus. 02:05 So let's first before we hear our Bible story 02:07 today let's visit Ranger Jim, aren't you glad 02:11 he is using his talents to help 02:12 you know more about Jesus. 02:21 Hi! Boys and Girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 02:23 to Nature Time. We are at Knoxville, 02:24 Tennessee at Ijams Nature Center 02:26 and we have something special for you today. 02:29 We have something you perhaps have 02:31 never seen before. This is Sakata 02:33 and I have my friend Pam with me, 02:35 who is wildlife biologist here. 02:37 And Pam tell us something about these 02:39 beautiful creatures? Oh! What the first thing 02:41 you will notice when we came up here 02:43 is the sound, this incredible sound 02:45 emanating from the trees and then we keep 02:48 getting dive done by these wonderful insects 02:50 as their wings are drying and they are taking 02:53 their first flight. The very first flight, 02:56 yes, alright could we show the boys and girls that. Yes. 02:58 She has one in her box and she is going to open it 03:00 boys and girls. These came out of holes 03:02 last night, climbed up on the trees, 03:04 their wings are filled out and dried now 03:06 and would you like to fly for us. 03:09 May not, we have to maybe give him a minute or two, 03:11 here he goes to the top. Would you like that fly, okay. 03:14 There we will see, we'll kind of watch him 03:16 maybe as we are, as we're sharing some, oop! 03:18 there it goes first time. There he go, alright fine, 03:21 alright, now tell us about this creature something 03:24 about it about how long it stays in the ground and 03:27 Well, this particular Sakata is called a periodical sakata 03:32 and it comes out either the 13 year and 17 year species 03:36 and they are actually, they are some of our longest 03:38 lived insects. They are under the 03:41 ground as a nymph, which is one form of a 03:44 baby insect and they have legs and mouth parts 03:47 and they feed on tree roots and they spend 03:51 most of their life underground and then 03:53 when the temperature and the timing is just right, 03:56 they emerge, climb up on the trees and there 03:59 exoskeleton splits and they emerge. 04:05 They emerge. Now, these female that will lay eggs, 04:08 how do they place their eggs, 04:10 do their eggs go into the ground or, 04:12 no it's kind, they will actually take and split 04:15 a little tree branch at the very end of the branch, 04:18 make a little split, lay their eggs in it, 04:20 and that weakens the tree branch often in the wind 04:23 and it will tumble to the ground and the eggs 04:26 or the nymphs at that point will then go 04:29 into the ground and remain there for that incredibly 04:32 long period of time. So, in the end of the tip 04:34 of the plant it's protected the egg until it hatches 04:36 the nymph this tiny protected in that, 04:38 when it falls to ground then it burls 04:40 in and now that nymph will, it will be 17 years 04:43 later when it emerges right there. 04:45 17 or 13 right. Now there are annual ones 04:46 that come out later in the summer. 04:48 Every year, children in the eastern 04:50 United States and Canada can see that occurring 04:53 for the annual ones. They are usually little larger 04:55 than these and eyes are darker. 04:57 Oh! The other one that have some of the green 04:58 sheen to, kind of a greenish sheen 05:00 to that as sample. My grandpa used to call it 05:01 dry flies in August and July. Oh! Okay, 05:03 yes that's exactly right. You can hear 05:04 when the tree going raaaaaaaaaack 05:06 Almost a deafening sound. Almost a deafening sound. 05:08 And lot of people think insects are just a problem, 05:11 you know, but they do incredible wonderful 05:14 things for us. Kids like to eat fruits and things 05:17 and grains and food, I mean, 05:18 we wouldn't have a lot of our food and fruit 05:20 without pollinators and you know we have to consider 05:23 insects to be so special to us. Very special to us 05:26 and boys and girls you may notice 05:28 in the background that you hear some sounds 05:29 of other boys and girls, who are here enjoying 05:31 this incredible event and I could show you 05:33 that perhaps Pam and I are the only ones here today 05:36 that are so excited about this was probably 05:41 to observe this about three years ago 05:42 and I got out of my car and hurdled and I said, 05:44 the Sakatas, the Sakatas then one said 05:47 what Sakatas and I said 17 years 05:49 they have been underground. Exactly. 05:51 Eating sap and what and finally they are coming out 05:54 and their wings will dry and they will meet 05:57 and they will reproduce and fly away 05:59 and so only those of us that really studied them 06:01 and know a lot about them are so excited about. 06:04 So if the children add 13 years or 17 years 06:07 to their age right now the next time this happens again, 06:10 don't know what age it will be, 06:11 so you will be able to look for them. 06:12 If you are 10 years old, you will be 27 06:15 and married and have children, 06:18 perhaps are finished college when these the eggs 06:21 from this female hatches, that's what will happen 06:25 boys and girls that's why Pam and I are so excited 06:27 about it. As always, boys and girls, Ranger Jim telling 06:30 you don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him 06:32 because he really does love you. 06:43 All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 06:46 Going therefore and teach all nations, 06:48 baptizing them in the name of the Father, 06:50 and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 06:52 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever 06:55 I have commanded, and behold I am with you always, 06:57 even unto the end of the world, 06:59 Matthew 28:18 through 20. 07:11 Go tell it on the mountains, over the hills and everywhere. 07:19 Go tell it on the mountains, that Jesus Christ is born. 07:26 While shepherds kept their watching. 07:29 O'er silent flocks by night. 07:34 Behold throughout the heavens. There shone a holy light! 07:43 Go tell it on the mountains, 07:47 over the hills and everywhere. 07:51 Go tell it on the mountains, that Jesus Christ is born. 07:58 Down in a lowly manger. The humble Christ was born. 08:06 And God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. 08:16 Go tell it on the mountains, 08:19 over the hills and everywhere. 08:24 Go tell it on the mountains, that Jesus Christ is born. 08:31 That Jesus Christ is born. That Jesus Christ is born. 08:50 Hi! Sanner is making oatmeal patties. 08:52 Now, I know what you're thinking, 08:53 you probably thinking that you have ate oatmeal cookies, 08:55 but these patties you wouldn't need for dessert, 08:58 but they are delicious. Let me read the recipe for you. 09:03 2 cups of quick oats 2 cups of crushed corn flakes 09:09 1 12.3 ounce carton of Mori-Nu Tofu 09:12 1 medium onion diced 09:15 1 tablespoon of oil or margarine 09:20 1 teaspoon of bakon yeast 1 teaspoon sage 09:25 3 teaspoons of McKay's chicken style broth 09:28 and seasoning soy milk 09:30 3 teaspoons of McKay's beef style broth 09:34 and seasoning and 2 teaspoons of Bragg's Aminos 09:39 Let's start this recipe. I've already taken 09:41 my onions and sauté them in a sauce pan 09:44 with little bit of oil just until the onions are clear. 09:47 So, if it is not clear it will be little bit of crunchy 09:50 and it will be too strong in your recipe, 09:51 but to save time I have already done that. 09:52 In this recipe, you can just put them 09:55 in any order you can just put everything in, 09:57 the onions and these are our cornflakes 10:03 and you can use any kind of cornflakes you like 10:05 and these are just already, we just crushed them up 10:07 at a time and so tofu, 10:12 I would like to use mori-nu tofu, 10:14 but you can use any kind of your favorite tofu 10:18 that you like and then our seasonings, 10:25 those in, and then mix that up, you know, 10:37 these patties are so yummy. One thing I really like 10:39 about them is so many different things 10:40 you can do with them. One thing I like to do 10:43 with them is put them in a casserole dish 10:45 with some tomato soup over them and bake them 10:48 or if you don't like tomato soup you can use 10:49 mushroom soup too, another thing you can do 10:52 is you can form them to balls and bake them 10:54 and you can eat them with spaghetti and meat balls 10:56 with tomato sauce. Now, I'm just gonna put 10:59 little bit of soy milk in these to make them 11:01 little bit more moist and the reason there is not 11:03 an actual amount on your recipe is that 11:07 there is not really an actual amount that 11:09 you are supposed to use, you just kind of put it 11:11 until they are moist and put a little bit of soy milk 11:13 in here, mix it up, and look about moist, 11:19 so you are gonna take them and form them in the patties 11:25 and make sure that before you do this you wash your hands 11:27 and your hands be clean. This is round into patties, 11:31 they are round and what you are gonna do is 11:34 you are gonna put them on oiled cookie sheet 11:37 with just a little bit of oils they don't stick 11:40 and you're gonna bake them at 375 degrees 11:43 for about 30 minutes or until they are golden brown 11:46 on both sides you might have to flip them 11:48 in between and I have some oatmeal patties 11:51 already cooked for you. I will show you. 12:00 It is what they like when they are done and you see, 12:02 how nice and golden brown they look on both sides. 12:05 They are really delicious and there are really 12:07 so many ways you can eat these. 12:09 You should give them a try, they are very good. 12:12 Well, it's all there is to it. So, until next time 12:15 keep cooking and eat healthy. 12:27 Oh! Hi! Girls. Oh! Come on in what is this. 12:30 Mother baked you some bread. Oh! Wow, it smells great. 12:36 Have you seen Jesus today. Well as a matter of fact, 12:39 I just got back. He told a great story, 12:43 do you guys want to hear it? Yeah. 12:46 Alright, well sit on down, I will tell it to you. 12:52 This story started a long, long time ago. 12:55 There was rich man and he decided 12:57 he was gonna go on a trip, so he called his servants 13:01 to him and he said servants I'm going on a long trip, 13:04 but I want you to take care of everything while I'm gone. 13:07 So to the first servant, he gave four talents. 13:11 Now talent is type of money, so he gave him some money 13:14 and the second servant he gave two talents 13:17 and then the last servant he gave one talent 13:20 and then he got on his donkey and he went off 13:23 on a long journey. Now the servants talked 13:26 among themselves and they are like well, 13:28 I wonder how long he is gonna be gone. 13:30 I don't know said the first man, 13:32 but I'm gonna see what I can do with the money 13:34 he gave me, so the first man 13:36 who had four talents. He went to the market place 13:39 and he decided that he was gonna invest 13:42 in baskets, so he bought some baskets 13:45 with the money and he sold some and he bought some 13:48 and he sold some and before long he had made 13:51 4 extra talents, so instead of just having four 13:55 he had 8. While the second man saw that 13:59 and he said he has an idea, so he looked 14:02 to his two talents and he decided that he was 14:05 gonna get into jars, so he went to the market place 14:09 and he buy a jar and he sold it and then he bought 14:12 a couple and he sold them and before long he had 4 talents 14:17 instead of just 2. Well the last worker 14:20 was a lazy bum and he said I've just got one talent 14:24 that's not fair, but instead of trying to make 14:27 his talent more, he went out and hide it 14:30 in the ground, he dug a hole and put it there 14:33 and just forgot about it for a while. 14:35 Well the rich business man was gone 14:37 for a couple of years and then he came back 14:40 and he called his servants and the first servant 14:43 whom he gave 4, he came out to him and said servant 14:45 what have you done and so the servant told him 14:48 all about the baskets and all about, all the extra money 14:52 he had been able to make and he said master 14:54 you gave me four and I have doubled it, 14:56 look and he gave the master the money back 14:59 and the master was very pleased and he says wow 15:03 thank you so much. He turned to the second man 15:06 and he said what have you done when I have been gone 15:08 and the second man said master I took the two talents 15:12 that you gave me and I invested in jars 15:14 and look now I have four and the master smiled 15:18 and he said well done my good and faithful servant 15:21 and then he looked at the last man and he said servant 15:25 what have you done, the servant kind of hung 15:28 his head and said well I know you are really hard 15:32 and cruel master, so I don't want anything 15:35 to happen to your money, so I hid it in the ground, 15:38 here is the talent that you gave me. 15:40 And the master was dumb found it, 15:43 he said why didn't you at least put in a bank, 15:45 so that I can collect interest on it, take your talent 15:49 and give it to the man who multiplied his four. 15:52 Now when I first heard the story, 15:54 I was like wow that's really good story 15:57 and then it hit me. God gives us all talents 16:01 like you can sing really good and your mom makes 16:05 the best bread this side of the Jordan river 16:07 and God wants us to give our talents to him 16:11 and then he can multiply it, so what I'm gonna do 16:15 for you guys. I want to give you 16:17 each some money and I want you to go out 16:20 to the market place and see what you can do 16:23 to multiply the money I gave you. 16:25 Now this is a big responsibility, 16:27 so you should pray about it. 16:30 Now, Abigail I'm gonna give you four, 16:35 Hannah you can have three, Sarah you have two, 16:41 and Ruth here's one for you. 16:45 Now remember be wise with the money you have 16:48 and I want you to come back next week 16:50 with some more of your moms bread show me 16:52 what you did with your money. 16:54 Thanks for coming by, you guys have a good day. 16:58 Let's go and double our money. 17:17 Jesus, you're the sweetest name of all. 17:23 Jesus, you always hear me when I call. 17:29 Oh! Jesus, you died and took away my sin. 17:36 You're the sweetest, the sweetest name of all. 17:42 Jesus, how I love to praise your name Jesus, 17:52 you're still the first, the last, the same. 17:56 Oh!

Willie and his grandpa 19:18 are swept away by a rock slide with the car smashed 19:22 into a tree at the bottom of a canyon 19:23 and Grandpa's leg caught in the car door, 19:26 they are trapped. And, no one knows 19:29 where they are! When Willie doesn't 19:31 make at home, the search begins. 19:33 But no one knows that the car is down 19:35 the canyon! Can Willie trust Jesus 19:37 to help them, even when it seems like 19:39 they'll never be found?
