Hey You're Good

Script

(1 enters stage, noticing 2.)

1: What’s this, 2, you gone into fencing? You are very good!

2: Fencing? No, what makes you think I’m into fencing?

1: Well, the (mimes fencing) parry and thrust thingie kinda clued me in.

2: You thought I was fencing? No, no, just practicing my footwork, I’m going dancing tonight.

1: Dancing? Those are dance moves?

2: Yep, see... (mimes fencing, hums along) da dum da da da da dum. Nice slow waltz.

1: Well, it looks a lot more like fencing to me.

2: Do I strike you as the type to go out for fencing?

1: Well, likely more the fencing type than the dancing type. Your two left feet seem like they would be a prime giveaway.

2: Now, that’s not nice! Why, I mean...

(3 & 4 enter stage, miming rowing a boat.)

2: Wow, you guys are good!

3: Well, we have been practicing soccer skills for a long time, and, like you say, it shows.

4: 3 is especially good at heading the ball.

1: What are you talking about, soccer? You guys are rowing a boat.

4: I don’t think so! Soccer, that’s our game.

3: Besides, I get seasick in a bathtub.

2: But that’s not the way you play soccer, you use your feet, not your hands when playing soccer.

4: Your feet? You mean like when we (mimes rowing), like this... that’s not right for soccer?

3: And I have to get used to using my feet?

1: ‘Fraid so.

3: That’s a bummer.

2: Well, if you want to be good, that’s what you’ve gotta do.

4: Well, we do want to be good.

2: Something tells me that none of us are all that good at what we are trying to do. Guess we have to work a lot harder to show people our goodness at our activity.

1: Makes sense. No one can show goodness without a lot of practice.

3: Well, what about God? Isn’t He always good?

4: Well, maybe I guess God is always good, but what has that got to do with anything?

3: Well, just thinking... God’s goodness never ends, we can always count on Him for our many blessings.

1: He is always there, blessing us, isn’t He?

2: Isn’t it awesome? Every time, no matter what, He is always providing His blessings.

4: You know, we just finished our stewardship campaign, and I remember thinking at the beginning, wow, we will never make it. But we did.
