Hey Dana, How do you like my new umbrella? (Holds up small paper umbrella.)
|
| Dana
|
Bobby, you can’t go out in the rain with that!
|
| Bobby
|
Well why not? It’s an umbrella.
|
| Dana
|
Yes, but it is made of paper and it’s really small. It certainly won’t keep you dry.
|
| Bobby
|
But it didn’t cost me anything. It came free in my drink. I think I should use it.
|
| Dana
|
Bobby, If you want to stay dry you need to use the real thing not some fake umbrella. Here you can use mine.
|
| Bobby
|
Well thanks, I’ll just grab my lunch and I’m off.
|
| Dana
|
Wait! That’s not a real lunch.
|
| Bobby
|
What do you mean?
|
| Dana
|
Well, can’t you see that apple is made of plastic. If you eat that you’ll be sick.
|
| Bobby
|
Well it looks good.
|
| Dana
|
Just because something looks good doesn’t mean it’s real. You need to pay more attention. Here, take my apple.
|
| Bobby
|
Thanks, now I’ll just grab my glove for baseball practice after school and I’m off. (Picks up snow mitten.)
|
| Dana
|
Stop! You can’t play baseball with that kind of glove!
|
| Bobby
|
Picky, Picky, Picky what does it matter ?
|
| Dana
|
Well it matters a lot! You have to have the “real thing” to make the game easier. Trying to play with a snow mitten will make your game a LOT harder. In fact you will probably lose!
|
| Bobby
|
I never thought of it that way. So you mean that I need to choose the “real thing” and not just settle for whatever I see first?
|
| Dana
|
Yes, thats right.
|
| Bobby
|
How do you know that?
|
| Dana
|
I learned it from the bible.
|
| Bobby
|
I didnt think they had umbrellas in the bible.
|
| Dana
|
Thats true, but I learned from the Israelites’ who, instead of worshiping our one true God, were worshiping false gods.
|
| Bobby
|
Oh yeah, I remember the story when they melted all their gold to build a huge golden calf. That was cool.
|
| Dana
|
If you think that was cool then you missed the point. God was mad that they were putting their faith in a false god (something they made) instead of worshiping HIM our Sunday school teacher taught us that God wants us to focus on the real thing in everything we do.
|
| Bobby
|
Oh I get it. I shouldnt just settle for anything I need the real thing if I want to be protected by God!
|
| Dana
|
YOU GOT IT God is your protection! He’s the REAL thing!
