00:01 Hello there.
00:03 I've created Grandma's House so I could be a
00:05 loving Christian grandma to every child I meet.
00:07 You're gonna meet some real kids who come
00:10 every week for love and Christian mentoring.
00:12 Many of them are hearing about Jesus for the first time.
00:16 My hope and prayer is that you will be inspired to
00:19 open your arms and heart to your neighborhood children.
00:23 Welcome to Grandma's House!
00:37 This is Grandma's House!
00:40 Hi there, kids!
00:42 I'm so glad to see you
00:44 I've really missed you
00:45 since the last time we got together.
00:46 So today I've got something really extra special here.
00:50 You see, I've got a couple of boxes
00:53 Well, you probably can't guess what's in them.
00:55 But " Nope no animals!"
01:00 Remember that I told you
01:02 that I'm just an antique little girl?
01:04 Well, what do little girls have?
01:05 They have
01:07 Toy boxes!
01:09 So these are my very own toy boxes.
01:12 I thought I'd share some of my
01:13 favorite toys with you this morning.
01:14 Shall we do that?
01:16 Lets see what's in my toy box, you can peek now.
01:17 This is my granddaughter, Jordan.
01:20 She's been dying to get into these boxes.
01:23 Let's see what's inside - look at all the pretty paper!
01:28 Oooooo! PINK!
01:29 Take one, let's see what it is!
01:33 A toy!
01:35 Do you know how to make it work?
01:37 Just wind it up a little bit, and listen see what she does
01:40 That's one of your favorites! Miss Kitty
01:41 That's the wrong way, turn it this way. There ya go.
01:46 Put her on the table
01:48 Whee look at her go! Here's another one!
01:51 Let's unwrap this one. Shall we see what this one does?
01:55 Isn't that fascinating how those work?
01:57 Whee - she's going off the table!
01:59 Ok, wind this one up and send it off.
02:02 Oh, this is one of my favorites.
02:05 Hi guys, come on in.
02:07 Wanna help me play with my toys?
02:09 Yeah! You guy's like it?
02:11 What do you think about that one?
02:13 What do you got there, Alex?
02:15 Kate, come on over here to see.
02:17 You going to let that one go?
02:19 What do you got?
02:21 Oh, he's got the pig that skis!
02:23 What have you got?
02:24 Do you want one?
02:25 Yeah, grab right in there and find one.
02:27 Oh, that's one of my favorites, I love the pig that goes skiing.
02:33 Oh, and this has to be my all-time favorite!
02:36 This is Mr. Frog, watch the action on this one!
02:42 Check this out, guys! "ooop"
02:46 Oh, and I love those, put those out
02:49 there so all the kids at home can see them, too.
02:51 Oh, one more.
02:52 Let's see, where can I put this box?
02:55 Isn't that awesome?
02:57 A monkey! Monkey! Look at what he does!
03:00 Wind him up!Keep winding these up and see if
03:04 we can get them all moving at once
03:05 - at the same time!
03:08 Oh, look at that!
03:11 Oh, wait, wait wait!
03:16 Do you know what is in this box?
03:19 This is my toy box, too.
03:21 In this box, it doesn't look much like
03:23 a put-together toy, does it?
03:25 But what do you think?
03:28 You know! Do you ever wonder about who makes all these toys?
03:31 Do you wonder how there made?
03:32 You ever thought of making one yourself?
03:35 Well what I thought was..
03:36 I hear a lot about evolution, you know?
03:39 I thought maybe I can make a toy without actually making it.
03:44 I didn't have to actually make it!
03:45 What if I put all the pieces in here,
03:48 this is just like the rabbit that he has.
03:51 If I put him in here - all
03:54 these pieces - and shake it up, shake up the box
03:57 Would somebody like to shake up the box for me, Kate?
04:01 Shake it up real hard.
04:03 And now open the lid to see what's in there.
04:04 What's in there? A taken-apart toy...
04:07 A taken apart toy! Well, that's no good
04:11 - put it in there and let's try it again.
04:14 Who wants to shake it up, Michael shake it up?
04:17 Check and see, what do we have?
04:21 A broken toy. a broken toy!
04:23 Well, I don't know that doesn't seem
04:25 to be working real well, does it?
04:26 Hey grandma, the new kids are here!
04:29 Oh, hey guys, you wanna go meet some new kids? OK!
04:33 Why don't we all go outside and meet the new kids?
04:34 We can just leave the toy's here and come back later.
04:36 OK! Let's go! You want to meet some new kids?
04:39 You can take that with you, let's go!
04:41 Come on!
04:50 Do you want to go right through here? Oooh!
04:52 Come on!
04:54 There are the new kids! What do you think? Look!
04:56 Come on! come and meet them.
04:59 Ohhh! Do you know what those are?
05:03 They're little goat kids. Yea!
05:07 And there names are, uh, I forget, tell me again, Dave.
05:11 Felicia and Lily.
05:14 Yeah, get acquainted with them, aren't they cute?
05:15 What do you think, Jordan?
05:22 These are some of my favorite animals!
05:27 No, they don't eat your clothes. Baaa!
05:32 Oh, aren't they darling?
05:33 When they're even full-grown, they're
05:34 not an awful lot bigger than this.
05:36 These are pygmy goats. Yes! these are pigmy goats.
05:38 Kids! That's why I call them kids, that's what name them
05:42 Want to come and meet him George?
05:45 Come on in put your hand right here,
05:47 touch him softly on the head.
05:49 Oww!
05:52 Did he step on you?
05:53 He stepped on me toes.
05:56 And you know, this one has
05:57 the same first name as your middle name.
05:59 Her name is Lily.
06:03 Aren't they sweet?
06:06 I've wanted some of these goats fors such a long time.
06:09 No! They're not mine, but I wish they were.
06:12 We don't have a place to keep them but!
06:15 We borrowed them for
06:16 today so you can meet the new kids.
06:19 The new kids on the block.
06:20 The new kids on the block, that's right!
06:24 So how do you think the goats got here?
06:27 Hmmm! A trailer. A trailer? That's a good answer.
06:31 What do you think? A truck?
06:34 A car? OH! They were walked over.
06:42 Did somebody make these goats?
06:43 Yeah, God.
06:45 Absolutely - goats don't just happen, do they?
06:49 Nope.
06:50 No, no more than people do.
06:53 This is awesome, do you see their little eyes?
06:56 Aren't they sweet? Ahhh!
07:01 Well, while you guys continue to get acquainted with the new
07:05 kids, I think maybe I should go back
07:07 inside and put the toys away.
07:09 Do you like the new kids?
07:11 I sure do.
07:12 While I go put my toys away, I think
07:15 you have time to write down my address.
07:18 You know I especially want to hear
07:20 from you guys if you've made
07:21 a toy of your own, or created something
07:24 oh, I'd just love to see that.
07:27 So if you're all ready, get your pencil,
07:30 and your paper, and here's my address!
07:32 Hey kids, Grandma
07:34 Neal would love to hear from you.
07:36 She loves to get pictures and drawings,
07:38 and anything else you may want to send her.
07:40 She also answers each one of your letters, so
07:43 get your pen ready and write down her address, ok?
07:45 If you want to write her a letter address it to.
08:03 Grandma also loves to get emails...
08:15 She'd love to hear from you...
08:19 Wasn't it fun to see my toy box?
08:21 Did you ever imagine that a grandma would
08:24 still have her own toys after so many years?
08:27 Lots of us older folks are full of
08:29 surprises, you just can never tell about us!
08:32 I like wind-up toys because they're all made up of lots of
08:36 the same parts, and yet they all do such different things.
08:41 It took talent, imagination,
08:43 ingenuity and creativity to make all
08:45 those different parts and to
08:48 figure out how to put them together.
08:51 Do you know where we get our talents?
08:54 We inherit them.
08:55 We inherit them from our Father, God.
08:58 He's the ultimate Creator.
09:00 Everybody knows that toys don't just happen.
09:03 They don't just fall out of the sky,
09:06 somebody has to design and make them.
09:08 When I go into the toy store, I don't find a
09:11 bunch of gears, levers, wheels and feet in a big
09:15 mish-mash waiting for a tornado or an earthquake to
09:18 come along and make all the parts fall into place.
09:23 I like pygmy goats, too.
09:25 They are so much more complex than
09:28 a wind-up toy, and yet, some people
09:30 will try to convince you that goats,
09:33 and even people, just happened.
09:36 A little accident her, a little bump there, a
09:38 strike of lightning, millions of years, and
09:40 voila- life just appears!
09:43 Common sense tells us this not true.
09:47 There is a law in nature called the Law of Entropy.
09:51 Basically it says that things tend to
09:55 become less organized, rather than more so.
09:57 What if you left your room in a big mess?
10:00 Let's say that you left your dirty
10:02 clothes scattered all over the place.
10:04 Your toys and books are everywhere, and
10:06 your homework's in the middle of your bed.
10:08 Sheets and blankets are on the floor.
10:10 Now what if you were gone for five years, and
10:13 while you were gone there had been an earthquake?
10:17 Do you think an earthquake would put
10:19 your toys and books back on the shelves?
10:21 Suppose there had been a windstorm with lots
10:24 of rain, and a branch had broken your window?
10:27 Would that have washed your
10:28 clothes and hung them up for you?
10:30 I don't think so, honey!
10:32 Then why do some people think that life
10:35 just happened as the result of accidents?
10:37 God is the reason everything exists.
10:40 He created the stars, the air, the animals,
10:43 and especially you.
10:45 Especially you!
10:47 He made you to be just like Him.
10:49 You know what I love to do?
10:52 Find a little patch of ground about
10:54 - oh, this big.
10:55 Lie down on my stomach, and just watch for
10:58 a long time to see what's going on there.
11:00 You can make a list of everything
11:02 you discover that's alive.
11:04 It's really fun.
11:06 You could follow an ant around to see what
11:08 he's doing, or watch a spider makin' a web.
11:10 How big is a spider's brain, anyway?
11:13 Who taught him how to spin?
11:15 Remember about the toy store, and the pygmy goats.
11:19 Remember that complicated things don't just spring out of chaos.
11:24 Remember that you take after your heavenly Father.
11:28 And your Grandma Neal - that's me.
11:30 Us three were made for each other.
11:33 I love you so much.
11:35 Please come back again real soon.
11:37 We'll have lots of adventures together.
11:40 Good-bye till then!
11:48 My favorite wind-up toy would probably be the snail.
11:52 I think they're pretty cool
11:54 - I liked the chickie because I'd wind
11:58 him up and he'd jump off the table.
12:00 Goats have four stomachs, no three stomachs!
12:06 The sure do have bad breath, though!
12:08 I wonder why she had a broken-up,
12:10 fuzzy white rabbit in a box?
12:12 Grandma explained that evolution
12:14 is like this broken toy in this box
12:16 - no matter how much I shake it, it's just going to stay broken.
12:19 Maybe if I shake it like this...
12:22 Maybe if I shake it like this...
12:35 Still broken.
12:36 Evolution is something that people
12:39 have just kind of made up over the years
12:43 where they think something just kind of
12:47 happened after a long period of time...
12:58 Please don't let my friends be watching this!
