MY
TWO FATHERS

SANDY
Hey, Rocky, would you like to hear a song
that our church choir
has been
practicing?

 

ROCKY
Well, I guess so, Sandy!

 

SANDY
The song is “This is My Father’s World.”
(Sandy sings the song)

 

ROCKY
That’s a nice song, but like the other songs you sing, I
don’t
understand this one either!

 

SANDY
What is it this time?

 

ROCKY
The song goes, “This is my father’s world.”  Doesn’t it
belong
to a lot of fathers?

 

SANDY
Oh, I see what you’re saying!  This song is about our
Heavenly
Father, who is God in heaven!

 

ROCKY
Are you trying to say that we have two fathers?

 

SANDY
Yes!

 

ROCKY
And all this time, I thought we had one!

 

SANDY
Actually, if you’re a Christian, then, you have an earthly
father
and a Heavenly Father!

 

ROCKY
Oh, I never thought of it like that before!

 

SANDY
What’s really neat is that God wants to “father” us by helping
us
with our needs and I believe that He can do much more
than
what our earthly father can do!  John 16:23
says, “Whatever ye
shall ask the Father in my name, He will give it
you!

 

 

 

 

ROCKY
Are you saying that when we talk to God, our Father, in
Jesus’
name, that He gives us things that we ask for, better than
what
our earthly father can do?

 

SANDY
Well, can our earthly father do miracles?

 

ROCKY
Well, Mom thinks he can!

 

SANDY
What do you mean by that?

 

ROCKY
One time, when Dad came home early, he cleaned up the
house.
Later that day, when mom came home
and saw what he did, she
raised up her hands and said, “It’s a miracle!”

SANDY
Rocky, that’s not the kind of miracle I’m talking about, at least,
not the kind that God wants to do for His Christian
children!

 

ROCKY
God does more than miracles for us, doesn’t He?

 

SANDY
Yes, He helps us throughout life as we ask Him to, even in
the
little things.

 

ROCKY
You know what, Sandy?  I’m gonna start praying to God
just
like He is my Father!

 

SANDY
That sounds like a good thing to do!  This reminds me of
another song . . .

 

ROCKY
Oh, it’s time to go, bye!  (Rocky quickly
exits)

 

SANDY
I wasn’t gonna sing . . . Oh, never mind!  (Sandy turns to
the
audience) See y’all later, bye!
