Why Didn't It Stick? - Free Puppet Skit


Why Didn’t It Stick?

When My Miracle Fades Away

Marty: Man oh man; I just don’t understand what’s going on at all. I really need someone to
talk to. Let me see, who did I see on my way over from Miss Trudy’s class? Hmmm, oh
yeah. Hey Luxi! Luxi? Are you back there?

Luxi: Marty? Yes, I’m here. How are you doing today?

Marty: Well, I’m… it’s just that, well, I’m not good Luxi, not good at all.

Luxi: Oh really? What seems to be the problem?

Marty: It’s like this, have you ever prayed and asked God for a miracle before?

Marty: Did you see those miracles happen?

Luxi: As a matter of fact, yes I did.

Marty: Cool, so maybe you can relate to this; you see, a while back I was singing at a
concert and I hurt my vocal chords really badly. I mean I went to a doctor who told me
that I might not get to sing ever again; so I prayed and asked for a miracle that would heal
me so that I can sing as good as I used to.

Luxi: Well, I just heard you sing last month so I guess God gave you your miracle?

Marty: I thought He had but after I sang back then my vocal chords gave out on me again
and I haven’t been able to sing with the same intensity since. What I want to know is Why?

Marty: Why is my miracle gone? I mean I know I got that miracle because I really felt
God’s touch in my throat so why did God take it away from me?

Luxi: Well Marty, first off, I don’t believe that God took your miracle away from you, He’s
not like that. I mean God won’t give you something and then turn around and take it back
from you.

Marty: Okay then why did it fade away? I mean did I really get my miracle at all or was it
wishful thinking Luxi?

Luxi: Marty, if you say that you felt God touch your vocal chords then I believe that
you really did get your miracle. As for why it may have faded away hmmm…has your
relationship with God changed?

Marty: What? I’m not sure I understand your question.

Luxi: Well, when you first got your miracle were you spending a lot of time in prayer and
worship and studying your Bible every day?

Marty: Well, yeah, I guess I was. Luxi, I was desperate to let God know how much I love Him
and I was also desperate for a touch from Him. I don’t think that hardly an hour passed by
that I didn’t tell God how much I loved Him.

Luxi: Hmmm, I see. And since you got your miracle? How has it been since you were
healed?

Marty: Well, I mean, idunno… I’ve been really busy trying to get a new CD recorded, and
there’s been lots of rehearsals for the school musical, then I’ve been out with my friends
quite a bit…wow, I guess I’ve kinda let my relationship with God slide to the back of my
priorities.

Luxi: You see Marty, maybe it’s not that God took your miracle away and it’s not that God
moved out of your life, maybe you moved away from God. I think that if we stay in His
presence that it’s impossible for sickness to stay in our bodies. Perhaps you should get
back into His presence?

Marty: Wow! I never thought about it like that before! Hey! I just had a thought! You know
how Miss Cheryl has been talking about Elijah and Elisha? Maybe the reason they had such
awesome miracles is because they got in God’s presence and stayed there?

Luxi: I think that you may be on to something there Marty.

Marty: That’s awesome! I know what I’m gonna do next! I’m gonna get into God’s presence
and I’m gonna do my best to stay there! Maybe after that I can pray for people and do
miracles like Elisha did!

Luxi: I believe that is a remarkable and admirable goal Marty.

Marty: Awesome! Wanna go get some lunch? I’m buying!
