Flowers Fade

Rosie: I am so hot! Wow, that sun is a real scorcher. If I could sweat I would be dripping wet!

Posie: Here, let me cool you off. (Shows picture of an umbrella.) An umbrella keeps the sun off so you're not so hot.

Rosie: It's going to take more than an umbrella to cool me off.

Posie: (Make blowing sound)

Rosie: Whoa! You got bad breath.

Posie: Is that anyway to treat someone that's just trying to help you?

Rosie: Thanks, but no thanks!

Posie: (Shows picture of a fan.) How's that, feel any cooler?

Rosie: Come on a picture of a fan won't cool me off.

Posie: It will if I fan you with it. (Moves the picture back and forth.)

Rosie: Hey, that does feel better. Thanks. I was wilting from the heat.

Posie: Well, you know the old saying . . . "the grass withereth and the flower fadeth.

Rosie: That's not an old saying, the Bible says that.

Posie: You mean we're in the Bible. (Hold up picture of Bible)

Rosie: God was trying to tell people that things are gonna pass away, but God's Word will never pass away.

Posie: (Hold up "Never" sign.) Never?

Rosie: Never!

Posie: Not ever? But I've seen lost and torn up Bibles before.

Rosie: God wasn't saying you can't tear up a Bible. He was saying no matter what changes, His words will never change. He doesn't change His mind. He doesn't change how He feels about things. God never changes. He will do exactly what He says He will do. Just like the sun is gonna rise in the East every day and it's gonna set in the West everyday. That never changes.
