dear in the beginning God made the world and everything was dark but God likes things to look bright so the first day he made the light on the second day God made the sky but there was water everywhere and God wanted some things to be dry so on the third day God made the land and the Seas and the grass and the trees then on the fourth day God made all the things in outer space he made the moon he made the Sun and then he said this is fun so then he put in lots and lots of pretty shiny stars and all the planets like Jupiter and Mars and God looked at all the things he had made and he said that's good and on the fifth day God began to make living things and first he made things with wings so they could fly through his SK and then he made some leaping things and swimming things and creeping things creeping things God made everything according to his plan and on the sixth day before he rested God made [Music] man he made Daddy he made mother why he even made me he made me me he made me he made me that's good this must have taken you a long time to learn that song jot oh the story is in the Bible but the song is mine well it was lovely dear now I'll sing the rest of the Book of Genesis [Music] come on [Music] John [Music] well what do you want to do t h I don't know what do you want to do let's play the piano I'll play the piano you sing what do I sing oh just make up something like we did in choir you know when we sang and talk to music think about the rain no I'm the flood yeah Noah the other people on Earth are mean so build an ark for your family and for two of every kind of animal on the earth then when you are safe inside I will send a blood and destroy this wicked Earth so Noah and his sons built an ark then they loaded in all the different kinds of animals there were two [Music] elephants two tigers two rabbits uh two [Music] turtles two birds snakes worms bees DS Pats dogs then God shut the door [Music] and the rain came down and the rain came down over field and town over field and town for 40 days and 40 nights the rain came down all the animals 2 by two made the ark look like a zoo and they floated there for 40 days and nights till at Le the rain was through and still they floated on till the floods were almost gone then they saw the mountain they were headed toward and the people for and the Animals roared and they all down in the then God said I will never cover the Earth with water again we remember God's promise when we see his rainbow in the sky so we thank you God [Music] come on [Music] John [Music] we are happy with the child let us share with one another by sharing with our [Applause] [Music] brother [Music] sharing with brother we happy with [Music] each with another [Music] brother we we are happy with each other

guess he does look they're everywhere wow it's like a whole choir like in church yeah well sort of only they're singing in their own language what do you think they're singing about I don't know probably about how they feel or what makes them happy I bet they're thanking God that they can sing sure that's it and they're thanking him for the flowers and the [Music] trees for the hills yeah and for the sky too and the Sun and well for everything you're right tat they're thanking God for all the beautiful things around them you know something what I think it'd be fun to be a bird a bird why oh cuz birds can seem so pretty and I'd like to be able to see how I feel about God and about things I like you don't have to be a bird to do that t you can sing to God right now and in your own way

yes sir I mean no I mean I didn't know it was getting so late it's not only getting late jot but you were not where you told your mother you would be we were afraid something had happened to you you're growing up jot each time you show that you can be trusted with a responsibility like being homeown on time or being where you're supposed to be then your mother and I know that you're ready for a bigger responsibility like visiting grandmother by yourself or going to Camp you know son there's a Bible verse that says it all very well whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much I I understand dad and I'm sorry I can see that you barant and I understand how you can be having so much fun with t that you forget but if you are to grow up in a way that you can be trusted you have to remember I will Dad I know I will do oh do we were so worried I know but you won't be again I promise good now come on both of you it's time for dinner thank you God for giving me such good [Music] [Music] Parish come on [Music] [Applause] [Music] job hey wow where did you get all that money selling things we were door to-door salesman today what did you sell oh toys books records all kinds of junk $985 gee I'm going home to see what I can [Laughter] [Music] sell that's a lot of money toau where did you boys get it we earned it mother what did you do we sold things old things what old things dear oh uh some old books I didn't want and some old toys yes and that old record PL player in the garage chot that photograph belonged to your great-grandfather but it didn't work that's true but it could be repaired but I thought it was just junk oh J what else did you boys sell we just sold old [Music] [Laughter] things you didn't ask much for a broken clock did you but it was a good deal mother it was a pretty clock besides Mrs putter didn't know it doesn't work now just a minute fellas I really admire you two for wanting to earn your own money but there is a principle involved here which has to do with every business even selling old things it's probably in the Bible you mean God even tells us how to run a business that's right listen the lord requires fairness in every business deal he established this principle but we work fair mother aren't you supposed to get the most you can out of anything not if someone doesn't know the truth about what they're buying Mrs putter should know that the clock doesn't work then if she wants to pay what you ask for it that's fine but you must not let her think something that isn't true I see what you mean and we should have asked you about the phonograph that's right Tad it was not yours or jots to sell it belonged to my grandfather and that made it very special to me you know some things money cannot buy or replace like me yes dear you know one of my favorite Bible verses says a good name is rather to be chosen than great riches your names are at stake when you don't conduct your business fairly that's right Mrs pter will think we cheated her chot we'd better give some refunds in our business right tat let's start with the photograph yeah then we can go to Mrs Putter's house where you going now you selling those things too no Pig we needed to give some refunds sometimes good for business you know and pick before you sell anything there are a few um uh business principles you'll need to know there are we'll be back in a minute to tell you all about them okay thanks fellas I'll be [Music] [Applause] waiting come on [Music] JN hi CH can I play with chips too shoot T throw the ball

looked everywhere for him don't worry jot I'm sure that tip will show up in the morning he couldn't have wandered very far I hope so mother good night son say you still worried about tip I just hope nothing has happened to him hey there don't cry yet yet I know how you feel son there's still one thing we haven't done what's that we haven't asked God to take care of tip wherever he is and then to help us find him I was just thinking about that dear you know jot there is one thing to do that is really the most important of all this is what the Bible says don't worry about anything instead pray about everything tell God your needs and don't forget to thank him for his answers if you do this you will have God's peace which will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet as you trust in Christ Jesus daddy would you please pray for tip and for me sure will son father we thank you for the promise to give us your peace if we trust in you please protect jots dog tip from all harm and return him to us if it is your will we pray for jot that you will help him sleep peacefully as he trusts in you thank you for answering our prayers in Jesus name I pray amen good night dear good night son what's the matter Jos tip is lost I can't find him anywhere well let's think the last time I saw him we were getting the ball out of the tree right and the last time I saw him was when I got the rake P you were in the shed all the time what do you know I guess you didn't hear him bark it doesn't matter now we found you tip do I hear tip barking yes mother we found him in the shed he got locked in when jot put the rake away I'm so glad you found him oh tip I love you so much thank you God for keeping tip safe and for helping me to find me [Music] come on [Music] [Applause] John I hate him jot is that you I hate him I hate him who what happened dear tug that new boy down the street he calls me names and the other kids too but he picks on me the most jot I saw him talking to you what did he say this time I wouldn't repeat it I didn't do anything to him if I used words like that my mother would give me the spanking of my life I was just going to mail your birthday invitations jot and I didn't see tug's name on any of them is this the reason you didn't invite him yes I wonder what makes the boy act like that he's certainly not making any new friends that's for sure you boys start thinking we'll just have to find a way to help tug feel friendlier got your invitation jot see you at your party jot thanks for inviting me J the Bible tells us if anyone can control his tongue it proves he has perfect control over himself in every other way a tiny Rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot wants it to go even though the winds are strong so also the tongue is a small thing but what enormous damage it can [Music] do and so God's word says little children let us stop just saying we love people let us really love them and show it by our actions then we will know for sure by our actions that we are on God's side and our consciences will be clear start thinking boys happy birthday chot I'm early hey what you got a present a present you giving yourself a gift no T it's for tug I'll be back for me for you what for I haven't done anything a give it here let me see what it is what's that for that's the rudder you can make the boat go where you want it to by controlling the direction of the rudder yeah that's like your tongue tug if you could control it you'd get somewhere with the rest of us we'd be your friends hug you've just got to stop using bad words no one likes to be called names it it it it just isn't kind it's a little late but [Music] here here John I didn't have time to thanks tug I didn't have one you did some good thinking job hi Tug come in we're glad you're here happy [Applause] [Music] [Music] birthday come on on [Music] [Applause] [Music] J Chad do your folks talk about much sure what do they say oh they talk about what God wants him to do about something or how God works something out what do you mean well um we talk to God a lot about everything and sometimes God works out a problem for us like what um one time I remember remember Daddy was having trouble with our car and we needed to have some work done on it but we couldn't do without it long enough to have it fixed what happened we asked God to help us get the car running again and well it was funny what happened a day or two after that our neighbor asked daddy to take care of their house while they were out of town so that was the funny part they left their car at home and asked my daddy to drive it some so that strangers would know they were gone [Music] neat and that's how we got our car running [Laughter] again I remember another time tat my grandmother fell and broke her hip and God made that hip well so fast great but later she got real sick didn't you pray for her oh yes but we also asked God to do what he thought was best she was very old what happened she died oh but that was all right Tad mother said God knew what was best she would be happier with him and she would never be sick again after all we did ask God to do what he thought best J how do you know God did all that because tat I mean why do your parents think God works all these things out like that because mother keeps reminding us what the Bible says we know that all that happens to us is working for our good if we love God and are fitting into his plans do your folks really believe that yep and I do too come on race it to the house [Music] [Applause] come on [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Jos [Music] John over here look I hope we don't get flamed for that we won't if we don't stay around see you next week guys see bye bye um uh NE I was wondering if you saw somebody do something bad to something that didn't belong to them what would you do I'd probably remind them they shouldn't bother something that isn't theirs is that what you mean I guess I mean if something doesn't belong to you you have no right to use it without permission that's what we call respecting another person's property oh but suppose the people you saw were bigger than you and and suppose you didn't know them and they were ruining something and you were afraid you'd get blamed for it if you hung around what would you do then I see fellas you can't always be responsible for what other people do but you are responsible for what you do always respect other people's property but when you see someone who isn't you have to make the best decision you can at the moment and then don't worry about it just remember a life of doing right is the wisest life there is understand yes nail thanks thanks a lot [Music] [Applause] are you hurt pck no that dumb wagon had a loose wheel on it you shouldn't be writing it if it isn't yours who say we do we saw you take it it shouldn't be left in the middle of the sidewalk some little kid probably forgot it well here little kid take it back to [Music] him there they are mother they took my wagon but we didn't take it we're just bringing it back you boys should be ashamed taking another child's wagon out of his yard but it wasn't it look the wheels off they broke my wagon we didn't break your wagon but we'll try to fix it never mind his father will take care of it you boys should be ashamed of yourselves they didn't believe us but we did what was right Tad don't worry about [Music] it would you believe that he says we're known for getting into Mischief on this street and he thought we might have scratched up his car always respect other people's property but when you see someone who isn't you have to make the best decision you can at the moment and then don't worry about it just remember a life of doing right is the wisest life there is why does Neil say that jot he's always saying that it's Neil's favorite Bible verse Tad Neil says anything you read in the Bible is true my dad say that too right [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] n hey jot did you know we have a new teacher no what's her name I don't know I know her name is [Applause] missua now class these are the students who will be in charge today returning reading books to the Shelf Tish collecting all papers mat Hall Duty jot now if you will pass your spelling papers to Matt you may return the reading books to the shelf and go to the library quietly please just a minute pck in a row please quietly didn't you hear Miss Sweta stay in line pck quietly please John I really like Miss Sweden but nobody listens to her or to me or even you yes she is nice and the kids take advantage of her well I hope she doesn't ask me to do anything tomorrow miss sweetest said quietly please don't worry tat Miss SW is sweet but she's also smart she'll catch on just wait let's see pick why don't you oversee the books today and you [Music] take [Music] is something wrong I think all of you need to see me back in the room please children I am very disappointed don't you realize that a person who's been placed in authority over others cannot do what he's supposed to do if those under him don't cooperate we're all dependent upon one another when I give someone the responsibility of seeing that the books are stacked a certain way those who stack them must do as he says otherwise the job is not done and we are all unhappy with one another right yes M you know the Bible teaches that we should be respectful and obedient to those who are over us that includes our parents our teachers even a friend if he's in charge this is the way we learn to live together happily now I'm counting on each of you to do the right [Applause] thing um I'm sorry pck I'm sorry too it was my fault we'll do better next time uh Miss s yes you're a very good teacher why thank you Tish I'm proud of you too all of [Music] [Music] you [Music] you shall have no other gods before me you shall not make for yourself an idol you shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God remember the Sabbath day by keeping itly Kids the first four of God's 10 commandments are about God the next six tell us how we are to act towards one another I your father and your

it's too much now go outside and play yes ma'am come on John it's time for cowboy Bob hey fellas where were you anyway we waited and waited we know come on in [Music] Matt Mr Young said to remind you to know the meanings of the Ten Commandments tomorrow oh I almost forgot can I go over them with you H oh sure go ahead Matt well the first commandment says you you shall have no other gods before me H what does that mean J um it means it's want to let anything become more important to you than God like going fishing on Sunday instead of going to church or or staying home from church to watch TV yeah things like that I guess if you like anything more than you love God and it keeps you from doing what he wants you to do it's wrong isn't it I guess so boys are you watching TV again turn it off tat and leave it off watching TV has become too important to you that's it that's it what they're making a God out of it a man well he's right we were tat we've watched TV all day except for eating and playing it's as if that's all we want to do I guess we really didn't even want to go visiting with our Sunday school class or even learn the meanings of the Ten Commandments but now we know what the first one means right you shall have no other gods before me I'm proud of you boys now you have an excellent example for Mr Young right come on fellas oh
