00:00us all to be worshipers. He is spirit and he is truth. He is the safest place that I could ever
00:06be. I'm God and I'm sovereign. God is still working something out even if I can't see it.
00:11Ask me how I know. The word of God is alive and active. I can do all things through Christ who
00:15strengthens me. There's some things you're only going to see when you're on your knees. God has
00:19put something in you to carry and all of us are to carry the power of the whole spirit.
00:30Hi kids. Welcome to Sarah's Stories. I'm Sarah and I have some great stories to share with
00:39you today. So get ready. It's story time.
01:00Welcome back kids. Do you like to hear stories?
01:27I thought so. Today we're going to finish hearing about Hermie the Common Caterpillar.
01:34Do you remember what was going on in the garden?
01:39Oh, look at that.
01:43Wow. Oh boy.
01:46Hi, Hermie.
01:48Oh, hello.
01:49Oh, wow.
01:51How would you describe me?
02:04Ordinary. You look pretty ordinary to me, Hermie.
02:11God, are you awake?
02:14Always, Hermie.
02:16Good. I have a question.
02:19Yes, Hermie?
02:20Well, why did you make me so common? I mean, other caterpillars have stripes. Some have
02:27spots. You know, I even saw one with stripes and spots, but I, I don't have anything. I'm
02:34just Hermie.
02:36Oh, I see.
02:38And I'm just Wormie.
02:40There's got to be a way. Something that we can do that'll make us stand out.
02:45Um, we wanted to ask you a question. You've made so many special creatures. Uh, spiders
02:52that spin webs and, uh, bees that make honey, you know, that, and, uh, crickets that make
02:57that, uh, music, uh, and lightning bugs that light. Uh, thank you.
03:04Uh-huh. Uh, you're welcome. Uh, and we were wondering, um, what about us? Uh, we don't do
03:13anything that's wow, or, uh, whoopee, or even, uh, look at that. We're, we're just
03:20common, uh, everyday caterpillars, and, uh, well, um, so we want to be different.
03:28Hello?
03:29Hello? Now you've done it.
03:32Shh. Don't worry. I'm not finished with you yet. I'm giving you a heart just like mine.
03:38I'm on clean-up duty today. My colony is just down the path. A lot of traffic will be going
03:50through here soon.
03:56Wow.
03:58My, you're a strong one.
04:00Thanks. I can carry up to 50 times my weight.
04:04Oh.
04:06How do you carry such a big load?
04:09I don't know. I guess it's how God made me. He made me strong.
04:17You know what, Wormy? It'd be great to be strong, wouldn't it?
04:21Ah, that would make us different.
04:23Sure, but come on. I have a plan.
04:27Do you think this is such a good idea?
04:29Oh, don't worry. Most great ideas seem terrifying at first.
04:35All you have to do is jump, land on the end of the stick, send a pine cone into the air
04:40so it will fall into my arms.
04:42Then I'll hold the pine cone up and show everybody how strong I am.
04:47Got that?
04:48Okay. Here it goes.
04:51Ah!
04:54Whoa.
04:54Uh-oh.
05:10Incoming!
05:13Ow, ow, ow, ow.
05:15Hey!
05:18Hey!
05:18Hey!
05:19Hey!
05:20Hey!
05:22Hey!
05:23Hey!
05:24Hey!
05:24Hey, guys, some storm we're having.
05:34You just, huh?
05:36It's dry over here.
05:38Greetings and salutations.
05:41Looks like you need to get out of the rain.
05:45Yeah, not kidding.
05:46We're getting soaked.
05:48I'd invite you in, but there's not enough room.
05:52You should have a house like I have.
05:55That's your house?
05:57Sure is.
05:58Watch.
06:02Nice and dry.
06:06All the comforts of home.
06:09I take my house with me wherever I go.
06:13Umbrella?
06:15Uh, no thanks.
06:17This is very nice.
06:19This is just like having a little trailer.
06:22What kind of mileage you get?
06:25You ready, Wormy?
06:26No, not really.
06:29Oh, don't worry.
06:30It'll be fine.
06:31Look, when I say go, you release the vine, which will drop that beehive on my back.
06:37Then I'll take it with me wherever I go.
06:39And maybe this isn't such a good idea.
06:42Ready?
06:42Ready?
06:43Go!
06:46It's working!
06:50It's not working!
06:54Oh, God!
06:55Sorry, we're not home right now.
07:04Leave a message at the sound of the thud.
07:09Hi, you guys.
07:13Wow.
07:14You are beautiful.
07:17Gee, guys, thanks.
07:19But I'm married.
07:21No, no, no, no, no.
07:22Your spots, they're so, so gorgeous.
07:27I'm having a severe case of been there, done that.
07:30This will be different.
07:31Trust me.
07:32Look, all you have to do is drop a blueberry on me.
07:36The stain from the juice will give me those bright purple spots which everyone will admire.
07:41Are you ready for the rest of the story?
08:11Me, too!
08:26Hermie!
08:28Come back!
08:30Come on back!
08:39Hermie!
08:41Hermie!
08:45Hermie!
08:50Hermie!
08:53Hermie!
08:55Oh, leave me alone.
08:58Hermie, what are you doing?
09:00Hiding so no one sees my common face.
09:03Ow!
09:13Why'd you do that?
09:14You can't stay in there forever.
09:16Who would even notice?
09:17I would.
09:20I'm sorry, Wormie.
09:22I caused so much trouble.
09:24Well, it's not me.
09:25You have to apologize, too.
09:27Uh, we're sorry, God.
09:33Uh, we know you're good and wise, but we don't understand why you made us like this.
09:42Uh, we're so very...
09:43We're so very...
09:44Common.
09:45Uh, yeah.
09:46Yeah, yeah, common.
09:48When are we going to be special?
09:50Hermie.
09:51Who made the ant?
09:53You.
09:53Who made the snail?
09:55You.
09:56Who made the ladybug and the butterfly?
09:59Uh, you!
10:01Uh, where are you going with this?
10:02Who made you?
10:04Oh, well, um, you know.
10:07If I made all those creatures special, then there must be something special about you.
10:14Do you think I made a mistake when I made you?
10:17Well, uh...
10:18Oh, Hermie.
10:19Oh, Wormie.
10:21Isn't it enough that I love you just the way you are, even though you don't love the way you are?
10:28Oh, okay.
10:29But remember, I'm not finished with you yet.
10:36Hmm.
10:39Are you okay?
10:40Hmm?
10:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:42It's, uh...
10:44I'm just a little sleepy.
10:47Been a long day.
10:49I feel like I could sleep a long time.
10:52Then we'd better make you a bed.
10:54Mm-hmm.
10:55Oh.
10:56Oh, this is good.
10:58Oh, thank you, Rabbi.
11:00This is...
11:01This is so soft and nice.
11:05Oh, thanks.
11:06You go to sleep.
11:08I'll be here waiting for you when you wake up.
11:11Uh, Wormie.
11:12Yes, Hermie?
11:14It's tiring trying to be something you're not.
11:17It sure is.
11:19Night, Wormie.
11:21Thanks for being my friend.
11:23Oh, God.
11:34It's okay that I'm a common caterpillar.
11:39I have a great God.
11:41And that makes me special.
11:42Oh, God.
11:43Oh, God.
11:45Oh.
11:47Hey.
11:48Oh.
11:53Oh.
11:54Oh, dear.
11:55Oh, dear.
11:55Oh.
11:55Oh, dear.
11:57It's your own life, but it's so hard to see
12:01That sometimes things aren't what they seem to be
12:05They change
12:09Nothing ever really stays the same
12:15And like the winter that turns into spring
12:20There's hope and promise of what it may bring
12:26No change
12:29But only with a little bit of rain
12:34Before you know it, the changes appear
12:41You spread your wings and suddenly you see
12:45God's purpose is clear
12:48And like the seed becomes a tree
12:52There's a plan that you can't see
12:54Your story's not true
12:56Don't you ever forget
12:59When it seems your hope is gone
13:02There's promise of what God
13:04You've got to have faith
13:06To know that God's not finished with you
13:09And now you see it
13:14The changes are here
13:16You spread your wings and suddenly you see
13:20God's purpose is clear
13:23There's a plan that you can't see
13:29Your story's not true
13:31So to ever forget
13:33So to ever forget
13:34When it seems the hope is gone
13:37There is promise of the dawn
13:39You've got to have faith
13:41To know that God's not finished with you
13:45Yeah
13:46You've got to have faith
13:51To know that God's not finished with you
13:57Yeah
13:58Hello
14:14Is it still night?
14:19What's going on?
14:21Who turned out the lights?
14:23Oh boy
14:24I'm stuck in here
14:26Get me out
14:28Hermie?
14:30Wormie?
14:31Is that you?
14:34Hermie?
14:35Hermie?
14:36You've got to get me out of here
14:38Now
14:38I don't like this
14:40Come on now
14:41Quit getting around
14:42Oh
14:43No
14:45Hermie?
14:48No
14:48I'm flying
14:50Wormie?
14:52Look at me
14:53I'm flying
14:54I'm a butterfly
14:57Hermie?
14:59Hermie?
14:59You're a butterfly
15:00Oh

15:03I'm flying

15:27Hello ant
15:30Whoa

15:35You look like an ant
15:36Ha ha
15:37Hiya snail
15:38Look at you
15:41You are so big
15:45Hello ladybug
15:46Oh well
15:48Hermie
15:49You are the most beautiful butterfly I've ever seen
15:53Oh oh oh
15:54Sorry
15:55You're married
15:57Oh hi guys
16:00Hermie?
16:02Hermie
16:03Mwah
16:04You know
16:06God was right
16:07He wasn't finished with me yet
16:10I've never seen another butterfly like you Hermie
16:12You're stunning
16:14Hey
16:15Hey
16:15What are you doing?
16:16I'm putting puppy down
16:18Oh
16:18Oh
16:19You know what Wormie?
16:24I'm not an ant
16:25I'm not a snail
16:26I'm not a ladybug
16:28But I'm special
16:30You need
16:31You know
16:32God was not finished with me yet
16:34And if he's not finished with me
16:36He's not finished with you
16:37Ha ha
16:38You really think so?
16:40I know so
16:42Oh boy
16:43Oh this is great
16:45Oh
16:47Oh
16:47Wormie
16:48It's beautiful up here
16:50I'm starting to feel a little sleepy too
16:57Hey Hermie
17:09Why are you slowing down already?
17:11Let's go
17:12The end
17:28Wasn't that a great story?
17:31Sometimes we all feel plain and ordinary
17:33Just like Hermie and Wormie did
17:35We wonder
17:36Why did God make me this way?
17:39But just like we found out in our story
17:41He has something wonderful planned
17:44No
17:45He's not going to turn us into butterflies or anything
17:48But you can be sure that he has something spectacular waiting for us
17:52I think it's time for another story
17:59What do you think?
18:02I agree
18:03Our next story is titled
18:05A Child Sees Jesus
18:07There was a great excitement in the village
18:20Jesus was coming to town
18:23Most had never seen him
18:26But everyone had heard of him
18:28Jesus
18:29The one who had healed the sick
18:31Opened the eyes of the blind
18:33And the ears of the deaf
18:35Was actually coming to their village
18:38Do you think we'll see him?
18:41Rebecca asked
18:42I sure hope so
18:44Levi said
18:45Rubbing his eyes
18:46Well
18:48At least you could see him
18:50Levi had been blind since an accident
18:53When he was only three years old
18:55Rebecca squeezed Levi's shoulder reassuringly
18:59Six months ago
19:01Rebecca had been dying of a terrible disease
19:04When Jesus had healed her
19:05He healed me
19:08I just know he can heal you too
19:10Rebecca's mother
19:13Rachel
19:14Watched the children through the window
19:16Her mind wandered back to that day
19:20When Jesus had healed her daughter
19:22She had run out of the house shouting
19:25Desperately trying to get the attention of this man
19:28The son of God
19:30The one who healed
19:31She smiled to herself
19:34As she recalled his smile
19:36Full of such love and understanding
19:39She thought
19:41I do hope Jesus will heal Levi
19:44Like he healed my Rebecca
19:45When Rebecca came inside
19:49She and her mom made a plan
19:51They would round up all the mothers and children in the village
19:55And they would all go to Jesus together
19:57The mothers became very excited
20:00A touch from Jesus
20:02Some wanted healing
20:03But all wanted blessings for their little ones
20:06When the day came at last
20:09The village awoke early
20:11The parents prepared to take their children to Jesus
20:15So that he would bless them
20:17Everyone was busy
20:19Delicious smells were coming out of the houses
20:22Where women were busy baking yummy breads
20:25Little girls put on their special dresses
20:28And the boys allowed their mothers
20:30To wash behind their ears without a complaint
20:33The morning was almost over
20:36When someone shouted
20:37Look!
20:39A group of men are coming down the road
20:41It must be Jesus and his disciples
20:43At first the women and children held back a little
20:47While the men went forward and started chatting
20:49Jesus was so friendly
20:51In his laugh
20:53No one could resist laughing with him
20:56Rachel stood watching from a distance
21:00Her heart started to thump
21:02Would he remember them?
21:05She straightened her shoulders
21:06It was not the custom for women to be so forward
21:10But this was different
21:11She told herself
21:12She took Rebecca's hand
21:15And started walking towards Jesus
21:17Calling to the other mothers and children to follow
21:20Jesus turned
21:23And when he saw Rebecca
21:25He grinned
21:26Knelled and opened his arms
21:28Rebecca let go of her mother's hand
21:31And gave Jesus a huge hug
21:33How are you Rebecca?
21:36It's wonderful to see you again
21:38Happy and well
21:39I'm just fine
21:41Rebecca said
21:42I have never felt better in my whole life
21:46Did I ever thank you?
21:48I am so happy
21:49And it's all because of you
21:51Jesus looked up
21:53Hello Rachel
21:55Who have you brought with you?
21:57He turned to the many mothers
21:59Who were approaching with their children
22:00But before the group could reach Jesus
22:03The disciples stepped in
22:05Jesus is very hot and tired
22:08One of the disciples said rudely
22:10And he is hungry and needs a rest
22:13Another added
22:14Jesus does not have time for all these children
22:16Why don't you all go home and leave him alone?
22:20Now Jesus
22:21Who is usually very kind and understanding
22:24Spoke sternly to the disciples
22:26Let the children come to me
22:29Do not stop them
22:30Because the kingdom of God belongs to those like them
22:34Anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child
22:39Will never enter it
22:40Then he took the children in his arms and blessed them
22:44Not one person got left out that day
22:47Jesus blessed each child who was brought to him
22:50He loved them and listened to them
22:53Many troubled children shared their problems with Jesus
22:57And found to their amazement that he already knew about them
23:01More importantly, he truly cared
23:04Levi was standing nearby his mother
23:07He couldn't see but listened very closely to everything that was going on around him
23:13Suddenly, Levi sensed that Jesus was standing right by him
23:18Would Jesus heal him?
23:20Faith grew in his young heart
23:22Yes, he will
23:24I know he will
23:25Levi
23:26Levi
23:26Levi was startled
23:30You know my name?
23:32Jesus took him by the hand and said
23:34Levi, I know all about you
23:37I knew you before you were born
23:39I know what's happened in your life
23:42And I even know what will happen in your future
23:45Today, Levi, you will receive a miracle
23:48You will be able to see again
23:51With that, Jesus gently touched his eyes
23:55I can see! I can see!
23:58Levi suddenly shouted
23:59How beautiful the world is!
24:02I can see the sky, the birds, and the trees
24:05He ran back to his mother and gazed into her face
24:09Mother, I can see you!
24:12He turned and ran towards Jesus
24:13And looked right into his warm, loving eyes
24:17He knew he was looking into the eyes of God
24:20Oh, thank you, Jesus!
24:25He exclaimed with tears running down his cheeks
24:27Levi smiled at Jesus one more time
24:32Then ran off with his friends
24:34Matching their faces with the voices he knew so well
24:37Word of the miracle got around quickly
24:40And everyone came to meet the blind child
24:43Who could now see
24:44As the whole village gathered
24:46The women brought out the goodies that they had prepared
24:49Everyone ate and laughed
24:52It was the perfect end to a wonderful day
24:55After the picnic was over
24:58Jesus and his disciples left
25:00Smiling and waving goodbye
25:02To their new friends
25:03The children stood there
25:06Waving until he was out of sight
25:08The last ones to leave were
25:10Rebecca and Levi
25:11Two friends whose lives would never be the same
25:15Because they met Jesus
25:25The end
25:28Can you imagine what it would be like to meet Jesus
25:32And give him a hug?
25:34What would you say to him?
25:37Well, we might not be able to give Jesus a hug right now
25:39But we can still talk to him
25:41That's what prayer is all about
25:44We won't be able to hear God's voice either
25:47He speaks to our heart
25:48Talk to Jesus every day
25:51And build a relationship with him
25:53He's waiting to hear from you
25:55I can't believe it
26:01It's time for me to go
26:02But before I do
26:03I'm going to use my super duper extra special magnifying glass
26:08To see who joined me today
26:09Hmm, I see
26:13Madeline
26:14And Jason
26:16And hi Maria
26:18And there's Jennifer
26:20Thank you everyone for joining me today
26:24I hope you had as much fun as I did
26:26And I can't wait to work together again
26:28Until next time
26:29Remember that God loves you very much
26:32And I'll see you soon
26:33Bye
26:34Bye
27:34Before the ribbons were untied, before our hearts filled with excitement, before the lights, the twinkles on Christmas trees.
27:44It's the most wonderful time of year.
27:46Before seven colors and several colors, and the joyful laughter visited our homes.
27:52You have been so wonderful.
27:54Before the carols rang in grand cathedrals, before the dance moves, the weird moves, before snowmen and stockings, before choirs and candlelight.
28:07I got you.
28:08Before we learned to celebrate this day, there was a silent night, a humble stable, a world in waiting.
28:18And then, he came.
28:22But he became more, so much more.
