Hi kids, it's time for Sabbath
School. Grab your Bibles and
00:00:01.36\00:00:03.33
let's go.
00:00:03.37\00:00:04.70
Hello boys and girls. Welcome
back to Sabbath School. I'm so
00:00:31.16\00:00:33.76
glad you're here with us.
I'm Miss Ruthie and we have an
00:00:33.80\00:00:37.97
exciting program for you today.
During our sharing time we have
00:00:38.00\00:00:42.74
a really interesting nature
story. Yeah. And our Bible story
00:00:42.77\00:00:48.91
today is going to be on some
friends of Jesus. So before we
00:00:48.94\00:00:55.22
get to our Bible story and our
sharing time let's start with
00:00:55.25\00:00:59.45
some singing.
00:00:59.49\00:01:01.36
Hey everyone. Welcome back. I am
so excited that you are able to
00:04:53.66\00:05:00.00
join me (Miss Katie) today. I am
in Bryce National Park. Now that
00:05:00.03\00:05:05.03
is in the southwest corner of
Utah. And as you can see behind
00:05:05.07\00:05:09.80
me there are some amazing rock
formations. Now I want to show
00:05:09.84\00:05:14.74
you some of the really cool
things that we saw on our hikes
00:05:14.78\00:05:17.88
and when we came to overlooks
and to different vistas. We were
00:05:17.91\00:05:21.95
able to see some really fun
things that God created. Now you
00:05:21.98\00:05:27.79
know many times people will say
things like they were made over
00:05:27.82\00:05:31.69
millions and millions of years.
But if you believe the Bible and
00:05:31.73\00:05:35.76
you read the Bible you
know that guess who created it.
00:05:35.80\00:05:39.43
God created it. And what caused
a lot of erosion really dramatic
00:05:39.47\00:05:44.94
erosion, that's where you
can kind of see it looks like
00:05:44.97\00:05:48.54
fingers in the background.
Well what caused this dramatic
00:05:48.58\00:05:51.91
erosion? Well the flood and
the ice age that came after the
00:05:51.95\00:05:56.72
flood and then it became what we
see today. Now the wind and the
00:05:56.75\00:06:02.99
rain and the sun and the ice and
the snow, they all cause lots of
00:06:03.02\00:06:08.90
erosion and so slowly over time
it does erode more. Now as I'm
00:06:08.93\00:06:15.74
here and as I'm enjoying all the
beauty that's all around all the
00:06:15.77\00:06:21.21
nature and all the rocks and all
the bushes and the trees and the
00:06:21.24\00:06:25.08
flowers you know what it reminds
me of? It reminds me of God and
00:06:25.11\00:06:30.12
how much He loves us and
how much He cares for us and how
00:06:30.15\00:06:33.66
vast it is. If you look at those
mountains that are behind me
00:06:33.69\00:06:37.46
those mountains are a long ways
away. Well I was reading in my
00:06:37.49\00:06:42.33
Bible Isaiah chapter 40 verse 28
You know what it says? It says:
00:06:42.36\00:06:47.64
Have you not known, have you not
heard the everlasting God, the
00:06:47.67\00:06:53.64
Lord, the Creator of the ends of
the earth neither faints nor is
00:06:53.68\00:06:59.25
weary.
00:06:59.28\00:07:00.62
He created this vast, beautiful
world for us to enjoy, for us to
00:07:00.65\00:07:04.95
get out and explore and to
see His creation. I know I am so
00:07:04.99\00:07:10.73
thankful that I get to explore
God's creation and share it with
00:07:10.76\00:07:15.63
you. And I hope that you
are able to get out wherever you
00:07:15.66\00:07:19.33
live, whether it's in the city
or in the country. Find a park
00:07:19.37\00:07:23.91
that you can go and discover
God's nature or go for a hike or
00:07:23.94\00:07:27.34
go find a national park or
some place where you can see the
00:07:27.38\00:07:31.58
wonders of God's handiwork, how
much he loves us and cares for
00:07:31.61\00:07:35.75
us and the beauty that he
creates for us. All right. We'll
00:07:35.78\00:07:39.35
see you later.
Take care. Bye bye.
00:07:39.39\00:07:41.59

00:07:41.62\00:07:58.87
Wow! The end of this month is
looking really busy. Mmm, not so
00:07:58.91\00:08:02.31
much, isn't, nope not really
anything planned that much. Oh
00:08:02.34\00:08:05.85
Oh, hey everybody you
just caught me in the middle of
00:08:05.88\00:08:09.78
scheduling my very busy life.
Do you guys use a little planner
00:08:09.82\00:08:13.99
Maybe your parents or
grandparents do to keep
00:08:14.02\00:08:15.66
their lives going in order.
Today we're going to learn about
00:08:15.69\00:08:18.86
someone in the Bible who really
liked things to be a certain way
00:08:18.89\00:08:21.96
and was really busy a lot.
Hmm. I wonder who that could be?
00:08:22.00\00:08:26.43
Let's get started and let's pray
00:08:26.47\00:08:28.54
Dear heavenly Father,
we thank you and praise you
00:08:28.57\00:08:30.64
for being here
00:08:30.67\00:08:32.01
with us today. Please send your
Holy Spirit to guide our minds
00:08:32.04\00:08:35.11
and to help us learn new things
about you. In your name we
00:08:35.14\00:08:38.58
pray, Amen.
00:08:38.61\00:08:40.38
Before we get started with
today's story, let's review a
00:08:40.42\00:08:43.22
little. You see Jesus' mission
to this earth was to make men
00:08:43.25\00:08:50.03
whole and to show them what God
was like. His rescue mission was
00:08:50.06\00:08:53.70
really to rescue us from our
sins and to save us for heaven.
00:08:53.73\00:08:59.20
Right? Now Satan really wanted
Jesus to mess up you see. He
00:08:59.23\00:09:07.24
tempted Jesus in every way that
he could think of. He tried to
00:09:07.28\00:09:10.45
get him to make bad choices at
every turn but if Jesus had made
00:09:10.48\00:09:15.25
but one mistake the entire
plan of salvation would have not
00:09:15.28\00:09:19.85
worked. It would have been
cancelled. Right? And I am so
00:09:19.89\00:09:24.23
thankful that Jesus did not fall
prey to Satan's temptations.
00:09:24.26\00:09:29.66
Satan went even further. He
started to put wrong ideas into
00:09:29.70\00:09:34.34
people's minds. I mean, he
started that with Eve, right,
00:09:34.37\00:09:36.67
in the garden of Eden. But he
started to tell people in their
00:09:36.71\00:09:40.71
minds what the Messiah would be
like. Right? Not what the Bible
00:09:40.74\00:09:44.45
and not what prophets like
Isaiah prophesied. He told them
00:09:44.48\00:09:48.38
the wrong ideas about what the
Messiah would be like. He was
00:09:48.42\00:09:50.89
hoping that they would not
recognize Jesus when he came.
00:09:50.92\00:09:53.42
Now some people when they
listened and saw Jesus, they
00:09:53.46\00:09:57.56
believed. They couldn't help but
believe. Others still doubted.
00:09:57.59\00:10:01.33
And even his disciples doubted
sometimes. Even his family
00:10:01.36\00:10:07.20
doubted sometimes. Wow!
His mother watched him all
00:10:07.24\00:10:13.11
throughout his ministry, all
throughout his life and yet she
00:10:13.14\00:10:15.34
still wondered why things
weren't happening the way she
00:10:15.38\00:10:19.11
had been taught as she grew up,
by the Pharisees and the priests
00:10:19.15\00:10:23.52
Right? Mmm. How sad that was
for Jesus and how lonely he was
00:10:23.55\00:10:28.49
to not have any people, not very
many at least, people on this
00:10:28.52\00:10:32.79
earth who truly believed
and understood his mission and
00:10:32.83\00:10:35.80
trusted him. Jesus had a best
friend though. His best friend
00:10:35.83\00:10:39.83
was His heavenly Father and He
knew that God was always there
00:10:39.87\00:10:44.17
with him. Now you know the
Pharisees and the rulers, they
00:10:44.21\00:10:48.54
decided not to follow Jesus
at all and they always tried to
00:10:48.58\00:10:52.31
cause some problems for Him. And
we're going to talk about that
00:10:52.35\00:10:56.05
some in our story today and even
more for our story for next week
00:10:56.08\00:10:59.35
Do you have a home? I know. I am
very thankful for the home that
00:10:59.39\00:11:04.29
we have. And if we do have a
home we can be very thankful for
00:11:04.33\00:11:08.36
that. But there are many people
who don't have a home and if
00:11:08.40\00:11:12.53
you're one of those people know
that there are a lot of people
00:11:12.57\00:11:15.34
that share that with you. In
fact, I was curious because the
00:11:15.37\00:11:19.37
lesson said many people but
I was curious about how many
00:11:19.41\00:11:22.91
people there are that don't
have a home. Now that doesn't
00:11:22.94\00:11:25.48
necessarily mean that they're
living out in the street.
00:11:25.51\00:11:27.78
It could mean that they're
living in a homeless shelter or
00:11:27.82\00:11:30.05
maybe they're living with family
or relatives until they can get
00:11:30.09\00:11:32.85
back on their feet again. Or
maybe they are living, hopefully
00:11:32.89\00:11:37.13
in a warm climate, but outside.
Now I looked it up and over
00:11:37.16\00:11:42.56
one half million people
are experiencing homelessness
00:11:42.60\00:11:45.90
and that's just in the country
where I live, in the United
00:11:45.93\00:11:49.04
States of America. Isn't that
sad? And the crazy part though
00:11:49.07\00:11:53.88
was when I was reading today's
lesson it said that Jesus was
00:11:53.91\00:11:57.85
actually homeless. Wow! Jesus
was homeless. You see he was
00:11:57.88\00:12:02.18
always going from place to place
and he had to rely on others to
00:12:02.22\00:12:06.45
help him have food to eat and a
place to sleep at night. Right?
00:12:06.49\00:12:10.19
In fact, in Matthew 8 verse 20
Jesus actually talks about it.
00:12:10.23\00:12:15.63
He didn't try to hide the fact
that he was homeless. He said
00:12:15.66\00:12:19.90
this in Matthew 8 verse 20:...
Foxes have holes and birds of
00:12:19.93\00:12:24.17
the air have nests, but the Son
of man has nowhere to lay his
00:12:24.21\00:12:29.01
head. So Jesus was among the
homeless population in our world
00:12:29.04\00:12:33.28
The Pharisees, like I said, were
always trying to trick Jesus.
00:12:33.31\00:12:37.25
But there was one home where
Jesus felt safe. He always felt
00:12:37.29\00:12:42.42
welcome there and he knew that
the people who lived there truly
00:12:42.46\00:12:46.90
believed and trusted in him.
What a welcome place. And I hope
00:12:46.93\00:12:50.33
that that's the way your
home feels like as well. A place
00:12:50.37\00:12:53.27
where you feel safe. Now this
home was in the town of Bethany.
00:12:53.30\00:12:57.47
It was about a mile and a
half from Jerusalem, so a super
00:12:57.51\00:13:00.01
convenient location and three
siblings lived there. Siblings
00:13:00.04\00:13:04.65
means what? Brothers and sisters
right? There was the brother
00:13:04.68\00:13:07.82
Lazarus and the sisters, Mary
and Martha. And they knew Jesus
00:13:07.85\00:13:12.65
was the Messiah, like for sure.
Mary, in fact, had experienced
00:13:12.69\00:13:17.83
for herself Jesus's power
through His heavenly Father.
00:13:17.86\00:13:23.03
Right? You see sadly Mary
had been tempted by Satan and
00:13:23.06\00:13:28.44
trapped into doing many, many
wrong things and making some
00:13:28.47\00:13:32.67
really negative choices in
her life. And when she met Jesus
00:13:32.71\00:13:35.81
that first time she wanted
to change and he could see that.
00:13:35.84\00:13:39.91
But once you start making bad
choices is it easy or hard to
00:13:39.95\00:13:45.42
stop? I'm thinking about things
like maybe telling a lie or
00:13:45.45\00:13:49.79
stealing or other things. In
fact, sometimes when we start
00:13:49.82\00:13:52.06
making bad choices we have to
make more bad choices to cover
00:13:52.09\00:13:55.23
up the bad choices that we made.
And the same was true for Mary.
00:13:55.26\00:13:58.50
Jesus will help us though.
He's the only way that we can
00:13:58.53\00:14:01.90
overcome bad choices that we
make that Satan tries to tempt
00:14:01.94\00:14:05.37
us to make. Right? And Jesus
helped her again and again and
00:14:05.41\00:14:10.68
again. In fact, do you know how
many times he helped her to free
00:14:10.71\00:14:13.58
her from Satan's temptations?
Seven times. Each time when she
00:14:13.62\00:14:18.95
came back and she'd explain to
Jesus what had happened again,
00:14:18.99\00:14:21.62
and she had fallen back into
temptation. He didn't judge her.
00:14:21.66\00:14:24.83
In fact, he prayed for her and
sometimes he was so sad and he
00:14:24.86\00:14:29.16
was so like he just felt it
in his heart so much that he was
00:14:29.20\00:14:32.03
actually crying when he was
praying for her. And he would
00:14:32.07\00:14:35.44
encourage her and finally after
seven times she was free at last
00:14:35.47\00:14:42.18
How happy her siblings must have
been. Right? To see their sister
00:14:42.21\00:14:45.48
making better choices through
the power of Jesus Christ. He
00:14:45.51\00:14:49.95
can do that for us too, kids.
Now Mary, Martha and Lazarus
00:14:49.98\00:14:54.09
were very different. I'm sure
that you guys are not exactly
00:14:54.12\00:14:56.93
like your siblings. I know my
brother and I are different in
00:14:56.96\00:14:59.59
many ways, and same in some
ways too. Right? But they had
00:14:59.63\00:15:03.33
one thing in common. That was
that they all loved having Jesus
00:15:03.37\00:15:06.20
over to their house. I love
having guests and that's one
00:15:06.23\00:15:09.67
that's been really hard for
me because I really enjoy having
00:15:09.70\00:15:12.37
people over to my house. Now
when Jesus would come Mary and
00:15:12.41\00:15:19.55
Martha had two different
strategies and they kind of
00:15:19.58\00:15:22.42
represent in a way the two
different people that are on
00:15:22.45\00:15:25.25
this planet. Maybe two different
personalities. When Jesus came
00:15:25.29\00:15:29.56
Martha busted out these real
quick and was hoping that he'd
00:15:29.59\00:15:33.60
be a little distracted, and
did some last-minute mopping and
00:15:33.63\00:15:35.96
some last-minute sweeping.
Right? And then after that she
00:15:36.00\00:15:38.77
would go into the kitchen
and she would make the most
00:15:38.80\00:15:41.60
fantastic meals of fresh fruit,
breads, who knows what all.
00:15:41.64\00:15:46.64
And she would spend all of
her time making Jesus' stay Mah!
00:15:46.68\00:15:51.21
Beautiful. Right? Wonderful.
Mary, on the other hand, had
00:15:51.25\00:15:56.69
another strategy. They were both
so excited to see him. Mary,
00:15:56.72\00:15:59.39
however, went straight to his
feet and just like a child, just
00:15:59.42\00:16:02.96
like you might do at bedtime
stories. I know my son likes to
00:16:02.99\00:16:05.36
stand up beside me and listen
to bedtime stories. I think he's
00:16:05.39\00:16:08.06
trying to... He's in denial
maybe that he actually has to go
00:16:08.10\00:16:11.63
to sleep soon. Anyway. And
she would sit at Jesus' feet and
00:16:11.67\00:16:15.10
listen and listen. Now
this annoyed Martha. I kind of
00:16:15.14\00:16:19.17
understand that. Because when
I have my planner out and I have
00:16:19.21\00:16:21.04
things that I have to do I can
kind of tend toward being like
00:16:21.08\00:16:24.75
Martha. I mean like how
come other people are not doing
00:16:24.78\00:16:26.72
what they're
00:16:26.75\00:16:28.08
supposed to do too. Right?
Now in Luke chapter 10 is where
00:16:28.12\00:16:30.85
we're going to pick up this
story. Luke chapter 10 verse 38
00:16:30.89\00:16:36.02
is where we're going
to start. Luke 10:38:
00:16:36.06\00:16:39.23
I love reading it right from the
Bible. I don't know about you
00:16:39.26\00:16:42.40
but I think it's really cool
to hear exactly what happened.
00:16:42.43\00:16:46.20
Now it happened when they
went that he entered a certain
00:16:46.23\00:16:51.11
village and a certain woman
named Martha welcomed him to her
00:16:51.14\00:16:53.11
house. And she had a sister
called, [you got it] Mary who
00:16:53.14\00:16:57.85
also sat at Jesus' feet and
heard his word but Martha was
00:16:57.88\00:17:00.38
distracted with much serving and
she approached Jesus and said,
00:17:00.42\00:17:03.08
Lord, do you not care that my
sister left me to serve alone.
00:17:03.12\00:17:06.59
Therefore, tell her to help me.
And Jesus answered and said to
00:17:06.62\00:17:10.76
her, [What is Jesus going
to say. Right?] Martha, Martha,
00:17:10.79\00:17:15.06
you're so worried and troubled
about many things but one thing
00:17:15.10\00:17:21.84
is needed and Mary has chosen
the good part which will not be
00:17:21.87\00:17:27.21
taken away from her.
00:17:27.24\00:17:30.25
This was a rebuke. This
was Jesus saying you're wrong
00:17:30.28\00:17:33.82
Martha. Right? But he said it
in such a kind way. Did you hear
00:17:33.85\00:17:36.79
that? I can just imagine how he
said it with his tone of voice.
00:17:36.82\00:17:40.06
Right? And the good part, what
is that? I think that the good
00:17:40.09\00:17:44.76
part is starting with Jesus,
being with him, sitting at his
00:17:44.79\00:17:48.90
feet, listening to him through
reading our Bibles, through
00:17:48.93\00:17:52.67
praying and through learning
our Sabbath School lesson and
00:17:52.70\00:17:54.87
memory verse. Those are all
great ways that we can choose
00:17:54.90\00:17:57.27
the good part. Now our
lesson study talks about how is
00:17:57.31\00:18:02.84
breakfast or worship more
important? Hmm. That's a good
00:18:02.88\00:18:05.78
question. Right? And the answer
that they gave I liked because
00:18:05.81\00:18:08.65
it said both of them are really
important and we need to find a
00:18:08.68\00:18:12.45
way to fit them both in. How
can we prioritize to make that
00:18:12.49\00:18:16.93
happen? There's many things that
you can do and maybe this is
00:18:16.96\00:18:19.86
something you could talk about
as a family. I know from my
00:18:19.89\00:18:22.86
family one of the things that
I enjoyed or enjoy is finding a
00:18:22.90\00:18:29.00
worship book or a story from
the Bible or a book of the Bible
00:18:29.04\00:18:31.64
that we're all really in to.
Because that makes us excited to
00:18:31.67\00:18:35.21
have that worship in the morning
My son and I are reading right
00:18:35.24\00:18:38.38
now from this book. It's one of
our favorite books. It's called
00:18:38.41\00:18:42.12
The Jesus Storybook Bible. And I
just love how it tells the story
00:18:42.15\00:18:46.42
of Jesus. And I'm so excited
every morning to read it.
00:18:46.45\00:18:49.59
I like can't wait. Right?
Or here's another one of our
00:18:49.62\00:18:53.43
favorites. We have so many I
couldn't bring them all, they
00:18:53.46\00:18:55.23
were too heavy. But another one
of our favorites is called The
00:18:55.26\00:18:58.00
Incredible Journey, A Daily
Devotional. And this one's for
00:18:58.03\00:19:00.40
a little bit older kids. But it
has a little devotional each day
00:19:00.44\00:19:03.57
and there's lots of different
devotional books that your
00:19:03.61\00:19:05.27
family could choose from. Or
maybe you want to read straight
00:19:05.31\00:19:07.51
from the Bible. Maybe you have
a favorite Bible character like
00:19:07.54\00:19:10.58
David or Esther or I don't
know Paul and you want to read a
00:19:10.61\00:19:15.02
book of the Bible together.
That's awesome. Find something
00:19:15.05\00:19:18.65
that really motivates you
and you want to do it and that
00:19:18.69\00:19:21.72
really helps. Also your lesson
brought up, which is a good
00:19:21.76\00:19:24.73
point, if we try to get a little
bit more sleep at night then our
00:19:24.76\00:19:27.50
mornings won't be so hectic
because we won't be running so
00:19:27.53\00:19:30.10
late because we'll feel
refreshed and ready to wake up.
00:19:30.13\00:19:32.50
That's one thing Miss Michelle
needs to work on because I'm
00:19:32.53\00:19:34.67
definitely a night owl. Now
Sabbath morning is another time
00:19:34.70\00:19:39.37
and all of this really has to
do with, and this is for parents
00:19:39.41\00:19:41.94
right now and kids though.
You can help your parents make a
00:19:41.98\00:19:44.71
cool routine. A routine is like
how you do things every day or
00:19:44.75\00:19:47.92
most days. So my son and I, we
have a morning routine. We have
00:19:47.95\00:19:51.55
a bedtime routine. We have a
Sabbath routine for what we do
00:19:51.59\00:19:54.79
every Friday night and then
during the day on Sabbath. And
00:19:54.82\00:19:57.23
if you set that routine in
place and I'm talking about like
00:19:57.26\00:20:00.06
writing it down and putting it
on your refrigerator or printing
00:20:00.10\00:20:03.37
it and putting it on the wall or
something so that you can refer
00:20:03.40\00:20:05.97
to it. When you have that
routine in place it really helps
00:20:06.00\00:20:08.60
to stay on track for
prioritizing the good part
00:20:08.64\00:20:11.81
and that is being with Jesus.
You see we need busy people, we
00:20:11.84\00:20:15.98
need helpful people like Martha
don't we? But busy people also
00:20:16.01\00:20:20.42
need to take time to be with
Jesus every day. And I'm saying
00:20:20.45\00:20:23.89
that to myself in a big way.
I liked how the lesson put it.
00:20:23.92\00:20:27.59
My Bible first said we need
to be Mary in the morning and
00:20:27.62\00:20:31.16
Martha throughout the day. Isn't
that great? Now I think that the
00:20:31.19\00:20:35.50
greatest goal would be to be
a combination of Mary and Martha
00:20:35.53\00:20:38.07
all day long and start each
moment with Jesus. Don't you?
00:20:38.10\00:20:42.34
You see, one thing is needed and
Mary chose the good part which
00:20:42.37\00:20:45.74
will not be taken away from her.
Thanks for listening and tagging
00:20:45.77\00:20:49.78
along on this Bible adventure.
We'll see you again next week.

Hi this is Ruthie Reeves with My
Bible First. I am so excited to
00:21:03.89\00:21:07.50
introduce you to some of
the new resources that My Bible
00:21:07.53\00:21:11.03
First has just released. The
first one I want to show you is
00:21:11.07\00:21:15.04
God's Creation Declared. And
this book is a devotional book
00:21:15.07\00:21:19.81
for kids that has a daily nature
nugget that they can read.
00:21:19.84\00:21:24.21
But what I really like about it
is that it has a Your Turn and
00:21:24.25\00:21:28.22
that Your Turn is a way for them
to apply it throughout their
00:21:28.25\00:21:33.46
day and throughout their lives
so that they can remember the
00:21:33.49\00:21:36.36
lesson that they learned that
morning. The second thing I want
00:21:36.39\00:21:40.43
to show you the new and revised
My Bible Studies. Now this is a
00:21:40.46\00:21:45.97
great resource to share with
others especially for those who
00:21:46.00\00:21:50.14
don't really understand what the
Bible is. It goes through the
00:21:50.17\00:21:53.21
Bible in 26 lessons from Genesis
to the second coming and it has
00:21:53.24\00:21:59.01
beautiful illustrations and it
tells the stories of the Bible
00:21:59.05\00:22:03.15
in simple English for children.
The third thing I want to show
00:22:03.18\00:22:07.99
you the Learning About series
and this is a beautiful series
00:22:08.02\00:22:13.73
on the Bible doctrines. It
explains it in language that
00:22:13.76\00:22:18.83
kids can understand so that they
understand who the center of the
00:22:18.87\00:22:22.90
doctrines is and also what
they are. So these are three new
00:22:22.94\00:22:28.54
resources that My Bible First
has just released or has just
00:22:28.58\00:22:31.88
revamped and I know that you
will enjoy them. You can look
00:22:31.91\00:22:36.45
for these and more at
mybiblefirst.org. You can find
00:22:36.48\00:22:41.36
them; there's a catalog. You can
see these resources and so many
00:22:41.39\00:22:45.93
others that you
can find for your kid.

Tammy, what time is it?
00:24:29.83\00:24:31.17
It's memory verse time!
00:24:31.20\00:24:32.53
It's memory verse time! Let's
say it together. Luke 10:42:
00:24:32.57\00:24:36.27
One thing is needed...
00:24:36.30\00:24:37.64
and Mary has
chosen that good part...
00:24:37.67\00:24:39.97
which will not be
take away from her.
00:24:40.01\00:24:42.24
Luke 10:42.
00:24:42.28\00:24:44.31

00:24:44.35\00:24:59.43
My grandfather told me lots of
stories about when he sold Bible
00:24:59.46\00:25:04.43
books. (Uncle George) He had
children's stories and he had
00:25:04.47\00:25:08.37
books for adults and they all
talked about Jesus. One day he
00:25:08.40\00:25:14.24
was going back to the territory
where he was supposed to go that
00:25:14.28\00:25:18.05
day. And as he was driving,
something happened. He missed
00:25:18.08\00:25:23.72
the turn and he turned some
place that he wasn't supposed to
00:25:23.75\00:25:27.29
turn and his car ended up right
in front of a house that he had
00:25:27.32\00:25:33.06
already visited several days
before. And he said what am I
00:25:33.09\00:25:38.77
doing here? I'm supposed to
be over there. But Jesus said to
00:25:38.80\00:25:44.67
him, Go into that house. So he
got out of the car and he walked
00:25:44.71\00:25:49.34
up to the front door and he rang
the doorbell and the lady came
00:25:49.38\00:25:53.35
to the door. And he said I'm
not sure why I'm here. I already
00:25:53.38\00:25:58.39
delivered your books but I
ended up driving here and I
00:25:58.42\00:26:02.76
don't know-how. Is everything
okay? Can I help you with
00:26:02.79\00:26:07.73
something? And she said I am so
glad you're here. I have been so
00:26:07.76\00:26:14.04
depressed, I was going to kill
myself, but Jesus sent you to
00:26:14.07\00:26:20.24
encourage me. And indeed,
Grandpa was able to pray with
00:26:20.28\00:26:25.15
her to remind her of Jesus' love
and her life was saved because
00:26:25.18\00:26:29.95
Grandpa followed where the Holy
Spirit led him, even when it was
00:26:29.98\00:26:35.29
a bit of a surprise to him. I'm
glad Jesus leads us to be able
00:26:35.32\00:26:40.50
to help others too.

Our Father in heaven, thank

00:27:42.46\00:27:46.29
Thank you that you help us to
choose the good things. I pray

that that you will help us in
our lives to always choose, just
00:27:50.67\00:27:53.84
like Mary did, to start with you
to choose you always and to have
00:27:53.87\00:27:58.17
you as first thing and the best
thing in our life. We love you
00:27:58.21\00:28:03.78
and we thank you. I pray that
you'll forgive us for our sins
00:28:03.81\00:28:06.25
and we pray that you will help
us to be lights to those around
00:28:06.28\00:28:10.45

to everyone we meet. We love you
00:28:10.49\00:28:14.32

in your name. Amen.
