🌙 Scene 1: The Sad Night
(Riley Rabbit sits under a tree with a moon prop above. Riley sniffles and wipes eyes.)
Riley Rabbit:
(sighs) I miss my sister. She went to heaven last year. Some days I feel okay… but tonight, I just feel really sad.
Ollie Owl:
(softly) That’s okay, Riley. Feelings are real. God knows them all. The Bible says, “Tears may endure for the night…”
Milo Mouse:
But what if the night feels super long? Like it never ends?
Fiona Fox:
I know it’s hard, Milo. But God promises that “Joy comes in the morning.” It might not be tomorrow morning—but it will come.
Riley Rabbit:
Even when I cry during prayer?
Ollie Owl:
Especially then. Talking to God is how we find strength. He listens to every tear.
(Lights dim or characters pretend to sleep.)
☀️ Scene 2: The Joyful Morning
(Sun prop rises. Riley stretches and looks peaceful.)
Riley Rabbit:
I still miss her. But this morning, I remembered something—God is with me. And one day, there will be no more tears.
Fiona Fox:
That’s right! Morning reminds us of God’s promises. Heaven is coming. Joy forever.
Milo Mouse:
So even when it’s hard to smile, God’s joy is still inside?
Ollie Owl:
Yes, Milo. Joy isn’t just a feeling—it’s a forever gift from Jesus. It stays with us, even on the hard days.
All Together:
“Tears may endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning!” (Psalm 30:5)

Narrator or Riley Rabbit:
Some kids feel sad and don’t know what to do. That’s okay. Talk to God. Read His Word. Cry if you need to. God’s comfort is real. And joy will come—because He promised.
