                              Puppet Show Written 

                               By: Susan Y Nikitenko February 11th, 2025©

                                    

**Lola the Llama:** (nervously) Whiskers, I have something to tell you... I accidentally spilled water all over your drawing. The one you worked so hard on for the art contest. I'm really, really sorry!

**Whiskers the Cat:** (angry and upset) My drawing?! Lola, that was important! How could you be so careless?

**Ollie the Owl:** (calmly) Let's take a deep breath, everyone. Remember, we all make mistakes. It's important to show love and forgiveness, just like Jesus taught us. Remember how Jesus forgave those who wronged Him.

**Lola the Llama:** (sadly) I truly didn't mean to, Whiskers. Can we practice apologizing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (frustrated) Fine, but you better get it right.

**Lola the Llama:** (thinking) Uh... Whiskers, I'm sorry I... um... "waterized" your drawing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (raising an eyebrow) Waterized? That's not even a word, Lola.

**Ollie the Owl:** (smiling) Keep trying, Lola. You'll get it right.

**Lola the Llama:** (nervously) Okay, okay. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... turned your drawing into a... um... water park?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (sighing) Lola, focus! It was an accident, just say that.

**Lola the Llama:** (embarrassed) Right, right. I'm sorry I accidentally spilled water on your drawing. Can you forgive me?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (thinking) Hmm... Why do you keep licking your paws, Lola?

**Lola the Llama:** (confused) Uh, never mind. Let's get back to apologizing. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... uh... cat-tastrophized your drawing?

**Whiskers the Cat:** (laughing) Cat-tastrophized? That's creative, but not quite right.

**Ollie the Owl:** (chuckling) Apologizing can be hard, but you're doing great. Keep practicing.

**Lola the Llama:** (frustrated) Okay, okay. Whiskers, I'm sorry I... accidentally made your drawing wetter than a fish in the sea.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (trying not to laugh) Well, that's one way to put it. Let's try again.

**Lola the Llama:** (deep breath) Whiskers, I'm really sorry for spilling water on your drawing. I didn't mean to, and I hope you can forgive me. Just like Jesus forgave those who wronged Him.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (softening) Alright, Lola. I forgive you. It was just a drawing, and you're more important to me than any drawing.

**Lola the Llama:** (relieved) Thank you, Whiskers! I'll help you make a new one for the contest.

**Ollie the Owl:** (proudly) That's the spirit! Showing love and forgiveness makes friendships stronger.

**Whiskers the Cat:** (smiling) Yes, let's make an even better drawing together, Lola. Oh, by the way, why do you keep licking your paws?

**Lola the Llama:** (blushing) I... I just get nervous! Let's get back to the drawing!

**Whiskers the Cat:** (teasing) Do llamas even have paws?

**Ollie the Owl:** (laughing) Well, this llama does!

(All three characters laugh together)

**Lola the Llama:** (happily) Thank you, Ollie. Let's get started, Whiskers!

(All three characters start singing and dancing around, to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")

**All together:**

🎶 A-coloring we go, a-coloring we go,

Hi-ho the derry-o, a-coloring we go! 🎶

**Scripture References:**

- "Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye." (Colossians 3:13)

- "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you." (Ephesians 4:32)

- "And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins." (1 Peter 4:8)

**Bible Story Parallels:**

The story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15:11-32) is a wonderful example that parallels the theme of love and forgiveness. In this parable, Jesus tells of a son who asks for his inheritance and then squanders it in reckless living. When he realizes his mistakes and returns home, his father welcomes him back with open arms, showing immense love and forgiveness. This story beautifully illustrates the message of showing love and forgiveness, just as the father forgives his son and rejoices at his return.

When My Daughter Was A Little Girl

When my daughter was a little girl, about your age, she got upset with a teacher that

got onto her about something.  She was very upset with her teacher. As a matter a fact she stuck her tongue out at her in front of everyone.

I was concerned that my daughter would become angry and stay angry.

I wouldn't let her go to bed with anger in her heart.  I refused to let my daughter go to sleep until she was willing to forgive her teacher.  I explained it was important that she not let anger stay in her heart.

  We prepared a gift together so that my daughter would have something to give to her teacher.  We stayed up until my daughter was willing to pray and ask God to help her forgive.  I believe it was one of the most important

things my daughter needed to learn.  I told my daughter she had to apologize. I made her apologize in front of the whole class.  She needed to respect her teacher.

If we do not learn forgiveness, then we will never know happiness.

If we do not learn forgiveness then we will not be forgiven by God.

God will give us the power to forgive when we ask him to help us to forgive.  We need to remember God has forgiven us and we didn't deserve to be forgiven.  

 

The Prodigal Son

 In the bible Jesus teaches us stories which are called parables.  Can you say parables?  The parable we are going to talk about today is about forgiveness.  It is about love.  Even though this is a story about people, this story is used to teach us about

the love of God towards us.  It teaches us about God's forgiveness and how we should forgive others.

There was a father who had two sons.  We do not know what their names were, so we will call the older one, Jim, and the younger one Joe.  Jim wanted to please his father and happily went about doing what was expected of him, but Joe was not happy with his life.  He became more and more discontented until he went to his father.  He told his father he was going to leave and that he wanted his inheritance now. 

His father was very sad that his son wanted to leave, he agreed even though he really didn’t want to.  I’m sure his father tried to talk him out of it, but Joe had made up his mind.  His father gave him half of all his money. Then Joe packed his things, said goodbye to everyone, and started on his way.  

How do you think Joe's brother Jim felt about him leaving? 

Joe went and did things, he was taught not to do.  
He spent all his money on friends and parties.
 Parties that God would not be happy for any of us to go to.

He spent and he spent.  He spent until he didn't have enough to buy

one piece of bread to eat. 

Joe was away from home for many years. 

A famine came upon the land.  He was starving nearly to death.  

He found a job, feeding pigs.   The only food he could find to eat 

was the husks from the pigs slop.

He ate and lived with the pigs.  He became very poor.

He became miserable, He finally cried to God for help.  He felt

sorry about all he had done and also for being unthankful for his family.  

He prayed that God would help him get back home to his

father.  He didn't expect that He would ever forgive him or accept him ever again.  

He decided in his heart to beg, he was broken.  He would go 

back to his father and beg for a servant's job.  The journey home was long

with little or no food, with little or no water.

His father saw him from a distance.  Sudden joy-filled 

his heart as he ran to meet his broken son.  

Joe felt what he had done was unforgivable.  He begged his father

to take him back as a hired servant.  His father instantly forgave him.

"My son, my son."  he cried as he embraced him.

My son was dead and now he is alive.  He called all his servants to prepare

 a dinner to celebrate his son's return.  He gave him clothing and a ring for his hand.

He put shoes upon his feet.  

Jim was working out in the field and heard them celebrating.  

He was told of Joes return.

He became angry at how joyfully Joe was forgiven.  

His father replied,   "Your brother was lost and now he is found."

"Everything I have is yours."   

"It is good that we celebrate  his return."

Just like the father, in the parable, readily accepts and forgives his son. 

God our Father in heaven 

accepts us when we ask forgiveness of our sins.    

Just as the son repented of all he had done.

We should repent of wrongdoing and wrong attitudes.

In the power of love, He defeated all hell, and forgiveness prevailed.

For Older Children

God’s Love Never Fails

 When I think of the power of God, I think of His mighty voice.

For it was his voice that spoke all things into reality.

When I think of the power of God, I think of His great will.

He willed it, all of this world, the sky, the sea, and you and me.

 

The heavens, the sun, the winds, the stars, and galaxies afar.

In the moment He spoke, no joke, all that we see it came to be.

It is a powerful love from our powerful God, to think of people like us.

It is a powerful love from our God above, who gave His life for you and me.

 

When I think of the power of God, I think of the power of His forgiveness.

In his power, He became a tiny babe within the womb of life.

He was born to a virgin, a miracle, Jesus Christ, Our God, came down to us.

What great power, what great love, His forgiveness, His sacrifice.

 

Jesus grew to be a man and fulfilled God’s plan.  He died upon Calvary’s cross.

In the power of love, He defeated all hell, and forgiveness prevailed.

For all who believe, for all who receive, with gladness through faith.

Will know the power of His forgiveness and that God’s love never fails.

God’s love and compassion never fails……

Lamentations 3:22

 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

 The Prodigal Son

The Bible Account

Teacher

Luke 15: 10 - 32

Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.

 And he said, A certain man had two sons:

 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.

 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

4 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.

 And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.

 And he would fain have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.

 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!

 I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

 And am no more worthy to be called thy son: make me as one of thy hired servants.

 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.

 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.

 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:

 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it; and let us eat, and be merry:

 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.

LNow his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard musick and dancing.

 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant.

 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound.

 And he was angry, and would not go in: therefore came his father out, and intreated him.

 And he answering said to his father, Lo, these many years do I serve thee, neither transgressed I at any time thy commandment: and yet thou never gavest me a kid, that I might make merry with my friends:

 But as soon as this thy son was come, which hath devoured thy living with harlots, thou hast killed for him the fatted calf.

 And he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine.

 It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.
