00:01 It's almost time for "Kids' Time."
00:03 We're gonna be late. 00:04 It's time to share, there's a world out there 00:08 Looking for a friend like Jesus 00:11 It's time to share, there's a world out there 00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so 00:24 Kids' time Kids' time Kids' time 00:28 Kids' time 00:31 Hi, boys and girls. 00:32 I want to tell you a story about a girl named Carla 00:35 who felt God called her to be a missionary 00:37 in a faraway country. 00:39 She had peace in her heart 00:41 because she knew she was going 00:42 where God wanted her to go. 00:44 What she didn't know was that God 00:46 had a special surprise for her in that faraway country. 00:49 She met a very nice young man 00:51 who was also there as a missionary 00:53 and they got married. 00:55 Today they have two children 00:56 and they even have a few grandchildren. 00:58 And Carla is very glad that she listened 01:01 when God called her to leave her home 01:03 and be a missionary. 01:05 God may call you to do something like that some day. 01:08 You may not meet your future husband or wife that way, 01:11 but I know God will have some wonderful surprises 01:14 in store for you if you go where He calls you to go. 01:18 In fact, you'll hear more about that in our Bible story today. 01:21 But first let's get ready for Nature Time. 01:32 Hi, boys and girls. Welcome to Nature Time. 01:35 Today we're on the beautiful island of Grand Cayman. 01:37 And we're at Queen Elizabeth II botanic park 01:40 at the Blue Iguana recovery program. 01:42 And I'm with expert Alberto 01:44 and he is an expert on these blue iguanas. 01:47 They are awesome. How are you doing today? 01:49 Very good, very good, excellent. 01:51 You've got a blue iguana on your lap. 01:53 And do you have names for these iguanas? 01:55 This one is Peter. Peter. And how old is Peter? 01:58 Peter is around 6-61/2 years old. 02:00 And how old do these iguanas live? 02:02 Around 70 years. 70 years old. 02:05 So this is just a little one? This is a little baby. 02:07 Boy, kids, I tell you, for 6 years old, 02:09 this little Peter is minded pretty well, huh? 02:13 Now I see cages in the background. 02:15 What are they all for? 02:17 Okay, this is a breeding facility. Okay. 02:19 Eventually every one is gonna be released into the wild. 02:22 These cages that you see in the back here 02:25 are the ones that are going to be released this year. Okay. 02:29 In fact, next month, 02:31 I would say that they will be released into the wild. 02:32 And how many are there back there 02:34 that you're gonna release? 02:36 Between 115 and 126. 02:38 Has-blue Iguanas, are they from all over? 02:42 No, no, this blue iguana is found only in Grand Cayman. 02:46 No other place on the earth. Only in Grand Cayman? Wow. 02:48 Now have these always- 02:50 have there always been a lot of blue iguanas? 02:52 I know there's a lot of different kinds, 02:53 but what about the blue iguana? 02:55 Tell me a little bit about it. 02:56 Okay, before humans came here, 02:58 there were a lot of them in the island. 03:00 Okay. But since humans are here now 03:03 with dogs, cats, and other things, 03:08 we did a count around 12 years ago 03:11 and there were less then 20 in the wild. 03:15 This is one of the reason we have this program 03:17 and this is a breeding facility. 03:20 And the cages you see in the back are the ones 03:25 that are going to be release this year. 03:28 So they are in cages not to put these in cages 03:32 but to protect them, so you can let them out, 03:34 so that this is not in an endangered species? 03:37 Well, what- let me ask you a question. 03:38 How many of them are out right now? 03:40 With this year release, 03:42 we're going to have more- over 600. 03:48 Six hundred, kids, isn't that amazing? 03:50 From 12 all the way up to 600. 03:52 Now do you have a goal? 03:53 I mean, how many do you want around these islands? 03:55 Our goal is a thousand, or a little over a thousand, 03:58 so it would take us out of the list. 04:02 Wow, kids, from 20 to 600 and your goal is 1000? 04:07 That's right. That is amazing. 04:08 Now is this as large as iguanas get the blue iguana? 04:11 No, they get a lot larger, probably 41/2 foot, 04:18 and 9 kilos to 10 kilos. That's amazing. 9 kilos. 04:22 Now if a male gets that big, 04:24 do they like being in cooped up places or do they need space? 04:27 No, no. They are- a dominant male controls 04:31 an area of 15 to 20 acres. 04:34 Can you imagine that, kids, 15 to 20 acres? 04:36 That's a big space. And why is that? 04:38 They just, they like to roam around? 04:40 They're roaming animals? They're very territorial. 04:42 They control their own space. 04:43 They try to, you know, get as many females... 04:49 As they can. That they can. 04:50 So they don't mind a bunch of females around, 04:52 they just-not another male? Not another male. 04:55 Wow, so I know is that when I was looking at this, 05:01 that some of the skin was shedding. 05:02 So do they shed how often? 05:04 I would say two to three times a year. 05:06 Oh, they shed two to three times a year. 05:08 Yeah. Wow, that is amazing. 05:10 Especially the female after breeding season, 05:14 she does a lot of shedding. 05:15 Does a lot of shedding. 05:17 Alberto, thank you so much for being with us today. 05:19 Kids, wasn't that exciting, learning about blue iguanas? 05:23 Never forget, nature is God's second book. 05:26 Get out there and take look. 05:27 Alberto, I want to see one of those great big iguanas. 05:30 Okay. Let's go. Let's go. Okay. 06:16 It's learning time! 06:18 Hey, thanks for joining us today. 06:20 I'm glad that you're with us. 06:21 I've got a special question for you. 06:23 Do you like music? Yes! 06:26 Well, today it's all about sounds 06:28 and frequencies of sounds. 06:29 And I'm gonna need some helpers. 06:31 I've got Matthew over here. 06:32 Matthew, do you play an instrument? Yes. 06:34 Well, what do you play? Piano. A piano. 06:37 Hey, that's a nice instrument. 06:39 And then we've got Sarah. 06:41 Now, Sarah, what's the very favorite place 06:44 you like to go to visit? 06:46 Florida, and see my grandma. 06:47 Oh, that's cool, isn't it? 06:49 And we have Ann Marie over here. 06:50 Now, Ann Marie, do you have a hobby that you like to do? 06:54 I like to draw. Draw. Drawing is fun. 06:57 Hey, let's get our helpers over here. 06:59 Let's see what we've got over here. 07:00 First of all, what are we gonna put on? 07:03 Safety glasses! Okay, here we go. 07:05 Why don't you take a pair? And you take a pair. 07:07 Let's put our safety glasses on 07:08 'cause you know what we're gonna do, 07:10 we're gonna use some things that are very interesting. 07:12 And, yeah, you can just stand over here. 07:13 Check this out. Can you see that? 07:15 What is this stuff? 07:16 It's actually cornstarch in water. 07:20 Now you can make this at home and it's really, 07:21 kind of, fun to play with. 07:23 And if I put my fingers in there real quick 07:24 like that and just jab it in there 07:26 they don't go inside. 07:27 Here, check that out. Can you do that? 07:29 Just put them real quick, just like, like that, 07:30 there you go. Okay, all right, now, okay. 07:32 Now what I want you do is, kind of, 07:34 just hold your finger in there and see what happens. 07:37 What does it do? What does it do? 07:39 What's going on? The fingers sink. 07:41 They are sinking in there, they are sinking in. 07:43 If you jab it real quick it just- 07:46 it's like hard and your fingers don't go in. 07:48 But if you hold your fingers there, what happens? 07:51 They sink. Okay, here well, here's a paper towel for you. 07:54 Oh, okay, here you might want to dry your hand off right here. 07:57 And here's one for you. 07:59 Okay, let's get one for you right here. 08:00 Now that's what we call cornstarch in water. 08:03 It's really fun to do. 08:05 Well, hey, what do we gonna use this for? 08:06 Well, we could play with it and that's always fun. 08:08 But what I'm gonna do today is I have a speaker right here. 08:11 This is an audio speaker, like you have in a radio 08:14 or television or whatever you've got. 08:17 We have to vibrate the sounds, we have to vibrate the air. 08:21 Now, what I'm gonna do here is 08:22 I put some of that cornstarchy stuff 08:25 right in my speaker right here. 08:26 And we're gonna set up some different frequencies of sound 08:29 and it's going to vibrate that cornstarch and water. 08:34 And it will vibrate it through different frequencies. 08:36 So here, let's check it out. Let's get our little- 08:38 actually, have a tone generator right here. 08:41 And let's put some different patterns... 08:44 Now, that is a very, very low frequency. 08:46 A lot of people can't hear that sound, 08:48 but what's happening to- yeah, you can move up 08:51 a little closer, check it out. 08:53 Can you see it vibrating? Yes. 08:55 Look at that it's vibrating, it's making different patterns. 08:58 Now I'm going to go a little higher frequency. 09:00 Let's go a little higher frequency. 09:03 Then we'll go up even higher and higher. 09:05 And it vibrates. 09:06 And now we're gonna come way back 09:08 down to that frequency right there. 09:10 And let's go ahead and turn the volume up. 09:12 And we're going to get some very, 09:15 very interesting things happening. 09:17 I'm gonna take and just kind of disturb 09:19 that a little bit with my finger. 09:24 What's going on? Whoa, look at that. 09:30 Look at that, look at that. 09:34 Whoa, did you see that? 09:37 Look at that. It looks like it's alive, doesn't it? 09:41 Ah, that's interesting. Oh, my goodness. 09:45 Now we're gonna slow it down a little bit, 09:47 we're gonna slow it down to some lower, 09:50 lower, and lower frequencies. 09:53 Well, isn't that interesting? I mean, isn't that interesting? 09:59 But, you know, there are some sounds 10:01 that you and I can't hear with our ears. 10:03 And by the way, how many of you 10:04 have cats and dogs at home? 10:07 Well, you know, certain animals can hear 10:09 frequencies that we cannot hear. 10:11 Do you know that a little house cat can hear 10:14 a little mouse walking on your carpet? 10:17 Can you hear a mouse walking on your carpet? 10:19 No. I can't hear that. 10:21 But God created certain animals' ears 10:23 to hear very low frequency sounds 10:25 and then some sounds are so high frequency, 10:27 we can't hear it but some animals can. 10:30 Like a dog. Have you ever heard your dog 10:31 just barking, barking, barking 10:33 and you can't hear any sounds yourself? 10:35 Has that ever happened to you? Yes. 10:37 That's because certain high frequencies 10:39 bother their ears and that's why 10:40 they are good watch dogs 10:41 or that's why they're good watch cats. 10:43 How about that? Well, you know what? 10:45 God created those animals to hear different frequencies. 10:49 But you know what? 10:50 We can hear the frequency that God wants us to hear 10:53 and then when He talks to our hearts, 10:55 He talks to our minds. 10:57 And He wants to come into us. 10:59 And I think that is so cool, don't you? 11:01 Yes. Well, to be tuned into God's frequency. 11:05 Well, every time we learn something new 11:08 and interesting about science, 11:10 we learn more about our creator, God. 11:23 I am very excited about this year's barley harvest. 11:27 Why is that? As you can see, profits are up 30%. 11:30 I've cut costs, paid off all my debt. 11:33 It's a good year for me so far. 11:35 Oh, awesome. Oh, this is gonna be 11:37 a great year in Bethlehem for a celebration. 11:40 Indeed. Oh, excuse me. Naomi? 11:46 Mecca! My dear friend Mecca. 11:50 But call me Naomi no longer, 11:53 for I have been dealt very bitterly with. 11:56 My dear husband Elimelech. Yes. 11:59 He has died. Oh. 12:01 And my sons Mahlon and Chilion are both dead. 12:07 I left here full and I have returned empty. 12:12 Oh. Mother, I will never leave you. 12:15 You won't be alone. Oh, who is this? 12:19 This is my dear daughter-in-law Ruth. 12:23 She has come with me. 12:25 You left the land of Moab to come here, 12:29 to Israel, to Bethlehem? 12:31 Yes, for Naomi's people are now my people 12:35 and her God is my God. 12:36 Did you hear that? Wonderful. 12:39 She is part of us. Welcome, welcome, Ruth. 12:43 Thank you, thank you. 12:46 You will have a lot to do to get settled. 12:48 I'm gonna come and help you 12:50 because no one has been 12:51 near your home since you left. 12:53 Oh, Mecca, you are so such a dear friend, thank you. 12:59 Come with me. Let's go to our new home, dear. 13:01 But there is a lot that is happened in Bethlehem 13:03 since you have been here. Oh, what has happened? 13:14 Oh. I better shut the door. No, leave it open. 13:19 Yeah, leave it open so we can have a little bit of light. 13:23 Oh, look at this. 13:26 Oh, it does look like it's been many years. 13:29 Oh, but it brings back so many memories, 13:35 wonderful memories. 13:38 Elimelech built this house with his own hands. 13:41 In fact, he was gonna add on to it, 13:45 make it larger so the boys would have more room to play. 13:48 I remember how much they loved this place. 13:51 Mahlon use to tell me all about his childhood home 13:54 and-I always wanted to see it, 13:56 because it's so much different from the ones we have in Moab. 14:00 Oh, dear, it looked a whole lot better 14:03 back then than it does now. 14:05 Well, we'll get it fixed up. 14:07 It'll look like a home in no time. 14:10 How are we gonna do that? We have no money. 14:14 We have-we don't even have money for food. 14:18 Here's some supper for you. 14:21 Mecca, you have just remained the best friend. 14:25 I'm just glad to have you back in Bethlehem, Naomi. 14:28 You know, it is good to be back 14:31 but how are we gonna make a living here? 14:35 I have an idea. I have an idea. 14:38 When we arrived in Bethlehem, 14:40 I saw that they were harvesting barley in the fields. 14:43 Yes. Is it permitted for people to glean after the reapers? 14:48 Well, they always used to. 14:50 Mecca, do they still allow that? 14:52 Oh, yes. In fact, it's encouraged. 14:54 Well, Mother, let me go. 14:56 Perhaps I'll find favor in someone's eyes 14:58 and they'll let me glean in their fields. 15:00 Oh, you are so good to me. 15:03 Oh, but you're gonna need a basket. Okay. 15:06 Now when we left, we couldn't take everything 15:09 and I left a basket. 15:11 Let me see, where did I leave- 15:12 Well, I don't think this one is gonna work. 15:13 Oh, wait, wait, wait. I think I know where I left it. 15:16 Well, find one somewhere. 15:17 Oh, look, look it's here, its right here. 15:21 Naomi always did have a good memory. 15:23 Well, take it. It's dusty, but here. 15:27 I'll take at once. There, use that. 15:28 I'll go and I'll be back 15:30 as soon as I can and we'll have food. 15:32 Oh, bless you, my daughter, bless you. 15:36 God has blessed you with a wonderful daughter-in-law. 15:41 God is good. He is good. Oh, Mecca. 15:47 We have work to do. Come on, let's get busy. 15:50 Oh, what would I do with you? It won't take us long. 15:54 Well, we don't need this anymore. 16:04 Hello, may I work here with you? Sure. 16:07 There's plenty enough for all of us. 16:09 Thank you. 16:10 I've never seen you here before. Who are you? 16:13 My name is Ruth, 16:14 I'm the daughter-in-law of Naomi, Elimelech's wife. 16:17 We just came here afrom Moab. 16:20 You see, Elimelech died and so did my husband 16:23 and my brother-in-law. 16:25 So we decided to come here to Bethlehem 16:28 because we heard that there was bread again. 16:30 How come you didn't stay in your father's house and remarry? 16:32 I know, Naomi made you come. No, she didn't. 16:36 I came here by choice. I love Naomi and I promised 16:40 that I would take care of her all the days of my life. 16:43 Better you than me. 16:45 I wouldn't want to take care of my mother-in-law. 16:49 Look, there's Boaz, the owner of the field. 16:52 He's really rich. 16:57 Quite handsome, too. 16:59 Oh, whose young woman is that? 17:02 That's Ruth, Naomi's daughter-in-law. 17:05 Oh. 17:14 Good day, Ruth. 17:15 I'm Boaz, the owner of the field. 17:18 You are truly blessed among women. 17:21 I've heard how you've taken care of your mother-in-law 17:24 since the death of your husband. 17:26 And also how you've been willing to leave 17:28 your mother and your father 17:30 and come live here in Israel amongst the people 17:33 that you do not know. 17:36 Please, feel free to glean from my field 17:39 until the harvest comes. 17:41 Make sure you stay next to the servant girls 17:43 for your own protection. 17:45 And if you become thirsty, 17:47 please drink from the jars of water 17:49 that the men have drawn. 17:54 Allow me to give you some grain to take back to Naomi. 18:02 Thank you. 18:05 And you have been most gracious to me even though 18:08 I'm not one of your servants. 18:10 Please, go back to Naomi now and may God be with you. 18:14 Thank you, sir. Thank you. 18:25 Wow, did you see that? Yes. 18:27 Boaz was quite taken. 18:29 I've never seen him act like that before. 18:31 Yeah. 18:35 Mother, mother, I'm back. 18:37 Oh, my God. Where did you get all this? 18:40 Let me explain. 18:41 I was gleaning in the fields, okay? 18:43 And I was gleaning there and all of a sudden 18:45 this man named Boaz came and gave me all of this 18:48 and told me to give it to you. 18:49 Did you say Boaz? Yes. 18:52 Boaz is one of Elimelech's next of kin. 18:56 Really? Yes. 18:59 He was always so kind and so generous. 19:03 And he spoke very kindly to me. 19:05 And I can he's still generous. 19:07 Oh, Ruth, do you know what this means? 19:11 What? You could be Boaz's wife. 19:17 His wife? Me? 19:20 Yes, God has a special plan for your life, Ruth. 19:28 Well, I trust God's perfect plan. 19:31 I knew you would. Now, come let's eat. 19:34 Okay. Mecca left us supper and tell me more about your day. 19:38 Oh, I have so much to tell you. 19:40 I was gleaning there and Boaz was very, very nice 19:43 and he let me work by them and all of a sudden, 19:46 Boaz just came out there and telling me 19:48 I was blessed among women. 20:00 Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go 20:05 Anywhere He leads me in this world below 20:10 Anywhere without Him dearest joys would fade 20:15 Anywhere with Jesus I am not afraid 20:20 Anywhere, anywhere, fear I cannot know 20:26 Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go 20:31 Anywhere with Jesus I am not alone 20:36 Other friends may fail me, He is still my own 20:41 Though His hand may lead me over dreary ways 20:46 Anywhere with Jesus is a house of praise 20:52 Anywhere with Jesus I can go to sleep 20:58 When the gloomy shadows round about me creep 21:03 Knowing I shall wake and never more to roam 21:08 Anywhere with Jesus will be home, sweet home 21:13 Anywhere, anywhere, fear I cannot know 21:19 Anywhere with Jesus I can safely go 21:39 Hi, boys and girls. 21:40 It's time for Miss Brenda's Book of the Day. 21:43 And today's book is called "Prayer Promises for Kids." 21:47 Guess who it's by? 21:49 That's right, Miss Brenda 21:51 and my good friend Dr. Kay Kuzma and I got together 21:54 and we wrote this book to help you boys and girls 21:57 learn how to pray claiming Bible promises. 22:00 It's an incredible book that is filled with over 22:02 a hundred different things 22:03 that you would want to pray about. 22:05 Maybe it's-you're afraid of the dark or maybe there 22:08 are some bullies or maybe you having trouble 22:10 with your homework or making new friends. 22:14 There is all kinds of things in here 22:17 that you can go to the Lord and pray about 22:19 and claim a Bible promise to help you with that need. 22:22 Now there are many, many promises in the Bible. 22:26 And did you know God put those promises 22:28 in the Bible for a reason. They are there for us to claim. 22:31 And so, boys and girls, I want you to really- 22:34 when you talk with Jesus, go to the Bible, 22:37 claim those promises when you're praying 22:39 and you'll have a closer walk with Jesus. 22:41 Well, I want to share some letters with you today. 22:44 I love getting letters from you, boys and girls. 22:47 And I've had some pretty funny ones, 22:49 I've had some good heart touching ones, 22:51 and I've had some really inspiring ones 22:53 when I hear what you're doing to share Jesus. 22:56 And let's look and see what some of those letters say today. 23:00 I wish I had time to read all of them to you, 23:02 but of course I don't. 23:03 But let's see- well, there is one right here 23:06 and it's from Ontario, Canada. 23:10 And let's see what you have to say. 23:13 And it's from Josie. 23:14 And, Josie, you've sent me a picture. 23:16 And I especially love getting the pictures, too, 23:18 because I like to see what you look like. 23:21 This one says, "Dear, Miss Brenda, 23:23 my name is Josie and I am 8 years old 23:27 and I love to watch Kids Time on TV. 23:30 And I like to be kind and polite to everyone." 23:34 It said, "I know that I would like to be 23:36 a member of your Kids club please. 23:38 Would you please send me an activity book 23:41 and also one for my brother Jordan. 23:44 I like to share Jesus by making bookmarks 23:47 and giving them to people everywhere I go. 23:50 Love, Josie."
