Back to Graceville where God's love is everywhere. It's me, Pastor Anastasia, and I'm so super duper excited that you join me today as we learn more about our best friend, Jesus. Today's special feature comes to us from right here in the United States, where my friend Esther has prepared a beautiful song just for us. Let's listen in! Everything I am, I give it to you, Lord. I give it to you, Lord. And you will think for a song I sing. Every praise I bring, everything I do. It's a gift to you. Everything I am, I give it to you. I give it to you, Lord. And you will think for a song I sing. Every praise I bring, everything I do. It's a gift to you. Everything I am, I give it to you, Lord. I give it to you, Lord. And you will think for a song I sing. Every praise I bring, everything I do. It's a gift to you. Amazing! Boys and girls, remember, if you want to share your gifts and talents for Jesus, please ask your parents or guardians to inbox me. And I'd be happy to share them with our friends. That's my favorite sound because I love that music. It reminds me that it's nature time. And I'm so excited to find out what our friend Ryan from Canada has for us today. Well, if you want to learn more about God's creation with me, you'll just have to come along. Hello, boys and girls, and welcome again to Nature Time at Graceville. Today, we're going to be talking about ants. So let's look and see what amazing creatures they are. Ants are social creatures. This means that they live in group-like communities. They have special jobs to do. The queen ant is responsible for producing more ants. Female ants provide food, and they also protect the colony from enemies. Certain species of ants, like the Messor barbarus, store up seeds for the winter. They are called harvesting ants. Others scout for food during the summer, and the workers take it home back to the colony for everyone. God has given us such a big lesson in these small, amazing creatures. Hebrews 13, verse 16 says, But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. Boys and girls, storing up food is great, and it's also hard work. However, when someone who needs help comes along, let's remember to help them. Bye, boys and girls. Thanks for tuning in. See you next time. Thanks, Ryan. That was so cool. Now, we're on time, so we can check in on Melissa. I wonder how her week went. Let's go. Hey, Pastor Natasha. Have you ever had to make a really big decision, but just not sure what to do? I have. Same. I'm just so stressed out trying to figure out what to do. I get you. Decision making can be really hard to do. Thankfully, instead of stressing, we can just ask God for direction. All we have to do is be willing to listen and obey His voice. Wait a minute. That reminds me of our theme for this week, which simply says, Listen for God's voice. Let me hear my friend, Zay, say it. Listen for God's voice. And our memory verse is found in 1 Samuel 3, 9. And it simply says, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. Let me hear my friend, Tiana, say it. Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. Great job, everyone. Wait. God talks to children, too? I thought God only speaks to pastors or older people. Of course He does. God doesn't discriminate. He loves and wants to talk to us all. That's why today's story is about a little boy who literally woke up out of his sleep when he heard God talking to him. Can you guess who today's story is about? A little boy that woke up out of his sleep? It has to be Samuel. That's right, Maria. Today's story is about Samuel. After a long day of helping priest Eli in the temple, Samuel finally jumped into his bed and drifted off to sleep. Shortly afterwards, he heard a voice calling, Samuel, Samuel. Thinking it was Eli, he ran straight to him to find out what had happened. But to his surprise, Eli didn't call him at all. This happened three times. On the third time, Samuel followed Eli's instructions as he perceived it was the voice of God calling. By responding, Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. From that night forward, Samuel continued talking and obeying God's commands all the days of his life. Samuel became a great prophet in Israel because he listened and followed God's guidance. Wowzers! God talks to children like me! Absolutely! God speaks to us through his word, nature, and in response to our prayers. So let's all listen for the voice of God.
