Shadow Valley

The Good Shepherd

1. Biblical reference: Psalm 23

"The Lord is my Shepherd: I shall not want."

He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside quiet waters.

He refreshes my soul and guides me in straight paths for His Name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil, and my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for the rest of my days.”

Talk show melody

Mișu: Hello, dear viewers and viewers! Today we are in a new location, in the mountains, and I have a really special guest, who has many things to tell us! And one more thing, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart! The show's rating has increased in recent months and this is only thanks to you, those who choose and have chosen today to watch us and be with us!! And now, I know you are waiting impatiently, so let's welcome my guest, Oița Meeedea with applause!!!

Applause

Oița Meeedea: Good morning! Thanks for the invitation! Wow, it's really nice here, at your place!

Mișu: Thank you! Welcome! First of all, so that those who follow us can get to know you better, if you had to describe yourself in one word, what would it be?

Meeedea the Sheep: Hmm, adventurous!

Mișu: Interesting! In all your life's adventures, is there someone who helps you, guides you, encourages you?

Sheep Meeedea: Ooo, YES!! Maybe you're thinking of a friend, a brother or a sister, but no, no! My good shepherd is with me every step of the way!

Awww sound

Mișu: Tell us more! The one you're talking about doesn't seem like an ordinary shepherd! This is where sequence 1 begins - the Shepherd enters with the staff, he signals the sheep to follow him

Piano Sound

Sheep Meeedea: I would really like you to meet him too! He takes care of me in a special way, he pays attention to every detail in my life, he makes sure that I don't lack ANYTHING, even though I was often dissatisfied with what I received! I have never encountered such love in the flock! Imagine the love of a close person in your life and multiply it infinitely! That's how eeee the love of my Shepherd is!

Mișu: Woow! Fascinating! And is it really always there?

Bird sound: Forest river nature

  sequence 2 begins - the sound of running water is heard, birds chirping. The shepherd enters and shows the sheep the path they should take.

Meeedea the Sheep: YES! You can't believe it, can you? And he gives me fresh grass to eat, he leads me to fresh, sweet waters, he goes before me and shows me the way to go, he encourages me whenever I'm sad!!

Mișu: Okay! I understand! In the good times, it's with you, but in the bad times, when you're discouraged, when you're stuck in a thorny bush, when things aren't going well, when you're surrounded by sheep and lambs who want you harm, when a wolf is waiting to eat you, then, is it still there?

sequence 3 begins - The sheep enters and sits scared in the middle, while the enemies run past her. The enemies throw strips of crepe paper - "arrows" at the sheep. The shepherd comes and protects the sheep

Sound Hans Zimmer

Sheep Meeedea: Yes! It's incredible, isn't it? There was even a situation where, once, being distracted by the field full of green grass, I was left behind and when I raised my head to continue my journey, two wolves were approaching me and wanted to eat me! At that moment, I thought I had no escape, that my life would end there!! But, the Shepherd heard my voice, stretched out his staff towards me and the two wolves ran away, not even being seen in the distance!

Mișu: Your pastor is on my guest list! It's impressive what you tell me about Him! begins sequence 4

Piano sound

Sheep Meeedea: And that's not all! - The shepherd enters with his staff, after him the enemies enter one by one and sit down. The shepherd sits at the table with the sheep. (table, glass of oil) He stands before those who are against me, who want to steal my peace and joy! He blesses me abundantly, gives me more than I need sometimes, more than I can carry and than I could ever imagine I would have. His blessings are like a glass that is full of water, but you keep pouring, the water will fall over.

Mișu: You really left my followers wondering! But I announced that I had a guest of honor! sequence 5 begins - the sheep is alone and the Shepherd comes and hugs her and that's how the story ends

Sheep Meeedea: In this whole story today, it's actually not about me, but about my Shepherd, the best shepherd I've ever seen, who is ready at any time, regardless of the situation, to be by my side, with me, to go before me, to help me and to leave kindness upon kindness in my life! This is my Shepherd!

Happy Sound
