***Mittens the Kitten

(a peacemaking play created for our chapel)

(Chairs moved to make cat cage.)
Scene one:
Molly: Let’s get the big cat.
Jonathan: First, we have to get the stuff for the kitten, and then we can bring it home.
Mittens: Mowwwwww!
Molly: Let’s just get that kitten instead.

Scene two: At the Pet Store
Molly: We need cat food, a cat bowl, and a harness and leash.
Jonathan: Don’t you think that is too much to give?
Molly: And one more thing, a sweater!

Scene three: Get in a Fight
Jonathan: I think that is too much to get, and most of the stuff that you got was what YOU wanted. If I don’t get what I want to get for the kitten, then I’m not getting the kitten and we BOTH don’t get it!

Scene four:
Molly: I’m sorry I was hogging all the stuff.
Jonathan: I’m sorry I said mean things to you.
Molly: I have a great idea! Maybe I could get something and you could get something for the kitten.
Jonathan: Okay. Let’s get the stuff AND the kitten.

All: Ephesians 4:29 “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.”
