| Summary: In preparation for her high school reunion, Grace has bought a new dress to "wow" a former classmate. However, she needs to lose a few pounds to get into the dress, so she is relying on the "God's grace" diet: she prays, eats whatever she wants, and doesn't worry about exercise, thinking God's grace will be enough to help her shed the unwanted pounds. When her friend, Marie hears what Grace is up to, she helps Grace realize that perhaps this was not what God had originally intended when he said, "My grace is sufficient for thee." | |
| Excerpt: This is a sample from the middle of the skit.. Marie:
(disappointed) Gracie! Grace:
Look Marie, this losing weight stuff is hard for me! Marie:
It’s hard for everyone, Grace, but how do you expect to lose any
weight if you don’t exercise and if you continue to eat all this junk
food? Grace:
(pause, as if thinking) Through God’s grace. Marie: I’ve never heard of that diet plan before. How does that work exactly? Grace:
Well, I’ve been praying about it a lot.
I figure God knows how hard all this dieting stuff is for me so I
thought He’d give me a little grace to get me through it. Marie:
So, because you set a goal to lose a few pounds, and because God
knows how hard it is for you, you thought just by praying… Grace:
(interrupts) …and God’s grace. Marie:
Right, by praying and God’s grace, that you’d lose the extra
weight? Grace: Basically, yeah. Marie: (flabber ghasted) Now, just to be clear: you want to eat as much junk food as you want, not exercise, and then pray for God’s good grace to help you shed pounds. Is that what you’re telling me? Grace:
Yes. Marie:
That’s crazy! Grace:
Why? Doesn’t God say “my grace is sufficient for you, for my
power is made perfect in weakness”? Well, I definitely have a
weakness for junk food so His grace should be sufficient for me! Marie:
I don’t think that’s what He had in mind! Grace:
Why not?
