Be A Blessing on Mother's Day!

Mother’s Day Surprise

Susan creeps on stage. She is dressed in camo and covered with squirt guns and supersoakers. As she stealthily looks around, Susan comes up and taps her on the shoulder.

Susan: Hi, Susanna. What are you doing?

Susanna: (Jumping.) AUUUUUGGGHHH!

Susan: Watch out! It’s just me.

Susanna: Sorry. I’m looking for Nick. This is it. I’m finally getting him back.

Susan: With squirt guns?

Susanna: Oh yeah. This one has ketchup. This one has mustard. And this one? Maple syrup. I can’t wait.

Susan: But Susanna, how could you do that on Mother’s Day?

Susanna: I’m not doing it to my mom. I’m doing it to Nick. And anyway, it’s perfect. He’ll never see it coming on a holiday like today.

Susan: You shouldn’t do that to your mom on Mother’s Day.

Susanna: She’ll look back in a few years and laugh about it.

Susan: But don’t you think it will make her Mother’s Day a lot harder? She’ll have to correct you, and she’ll have to keep Nick from getting you back, and it just won’t bless her at all to have her two kids fighting.

Susanna: Oh. I never thought of that.

Susan: Remember Timothy in the Bible? He was so thankful for his mother and his grandmother. They took care of him.

Susanna: My mom takes care of me.

Susan: They made him food.

Susanna: My mom makes me food.

Susan: They gave him clothes.

Susanna: My mom gives me clothes.

Susan: They told him about God.

Susanna: My mom tells me about God, too. (Starting to sniffle because she’s so touched.)

Susan: Don’t you want to bless and honor your mom on Mother’s Day after she’s done all for you?

Susanna: (Pretend crying) I feel so awful. I can’t believe I was going to do that to my mother. (Blows nose with honking sound.)

Nick: (Walking past.) What’s wrong with her?

Susanna: Oh, nothing. She’s just having a great Mother’s Day.

Nick: Right. (Keeps walking)

The Bible says a lot about giving, and a nugget of truth in each class period will go a long way in preparing children to be blessed as adults because of a lifetime of sowing good seed.

Seed Time Game Show, Part 2

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Game Show with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Bobby: Thank you! Thank you! You know they all came just to see me! It’s so great!

Chloe: Oh, please, Bobby. Can you just be realistic for a minute?

Bobby: (Not phased by this info and still with a million dollar smile.) I am so real it’s not even funny. Thank you! Thank you! Let the fun begin!

Chloe: (Big sigh) Boys and Girls, we want to welcome you to the Sow Your Seed Game Show.

Bobby: The show where we sow!

Chloe: You said that last week, Bobby. Anyway, are you all ready to win some kid cash by answering questions about sowing? Great!

Bobby: Here we go!

Chloe: And remember kids, you have to raise your hand to answer so you don’t get disqualified.

Bobby: Tell me what is missing from this statement: The Bible says whatever a man sows, that will he also ___(fill in the blank)___. Can you tell me what belongs? Your choices are A) reap, B) eat, or C) a buy at the store? (Children respond.) And the correct answer is, A. Whatever you sow is also what you will REAP! Great job!

Chloe: My turn. My question is, where does a seed have to go in order to grow? Your choices are A) the library, B) the mall, or C) the ground. (Children respond) Right! The answer is C. Your seed has to go into the ground. It doesn’t matter how much seed you have in your hand. Until you plant it, it will not grow.

Bobby: Now for the final question. What is a good seed to plant? A) donut seed, B) money seed, or C) weed seed. (Children respond) Correct! The answer is B. You have to be very careful about what you sow. Donuts can’t grow, and no one wants weeds. But when you plant your money in God’s kingdom, it will grow and bless others and you too!

Chloe: That’s all we have time for today, kids. Remember to keep on sowing.

Bobby: And keep on sowing.

Chloe: Why do you always say that?

Bobby: (Million dollar smile for the cheering crowds) Because I’m just so me! I love you all! Thank you! Thank you!

Offering Skit—Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr, part 1

Most curriculums don't contain offering messages for children, so I'm including some on this blog. It's very important to teach children the power behind their giving, and that it's a system set up by God so each person can reap a future harvest. Teaching this to children will prevent them from becoming adults who have limited themselves from experiencing all the blessing God has provided for them by being fearful in the area of giving. Instead, they will understand that giving is designed by God to bless them on the earth.

Giving is a seed that produces a double harvest: seed for more sowing (so we can continue to be a blessing to others), and bread for food (so our own needs can be met). Giving honors God. It helps keep our hearts on Him. And giving is just plain fun! I hope you enjoy all the skits and object lessons that I put on this blog.

Seed Time Game Show, Part 1

Voice: Welcome to the Sow Your Seed Gameshow with your favorite hostesses and mine, Bobby Bling and Chloe Starr!

(Enter to cheering audience and game show music.)

Bobby: Thank you! Thank you! They love me. Thank you!

Chloe: They’re cheering for me too, Bobby.

Bobby: (Not phased by this info and still with a million dollar smile.) Who cares. Thank you! Thank you! On with the show.

Chloe: (Big sigh) Boys and girls, we want to welcome you to the first ever Sow Your Seed Game Show.

Bobby: The show where we sow!

Chloe: Clever, Bobby. Anyway, we’re going to ask some questions, and you’re going to answer them. If you’re right, you win Kid Cash!

Bobby: Cool! Let’s play!

Chloe: Remember kids, you have to raise your hand to answer so you don’t get disqualified. Here’s the first question: If you sow a seed, what do you get? Your choices are A) nothing, B) a back ache, or C) a harvest? (Response from kids) And the correct answer is, C. You get a harvest when you sow seed.

Bobby: My turn. My question is, if you sow a carrot seed, what kind of harvest will you get? A) watermelons, B) carrots, or C) donuts. (Response from kids) Right! B) Carrots is the correct answer. You’re going to get the same thing you planted every time, so watch out for the seed you sow!

Chloe: Now for the final question. When does seed time actually work? A) as long as the earth remains, B) sometimes, or C) just on Tuesdays. (Response from kids) Correct! The answer is A. God promises that as long as the earth is here, we will have seed time!

Bobby: These kids are sharp!

Chloe: That’s all we have time for today, kids. Remember to keep on sowing.

Bobby: And keep on sowing.

Chloe: I already said that.

Bobby: (Million dollar smile for the cheering crowds as Chloe pulls her off stage.) Whatever! Bye! Thank you! Thank you! They love me! Bye!
