Get The Word Into Your Life
Your word I have hidden in my
heart, that I might not sin against You. Psalm 119:11
When I( the author of the book) was
growing up in the 50s and 60s, it became a high priority to get enough milk to
the young people of America. The importance of calcium for bone development was
increasingly recognized and milk became the means through which this mineral was
distributed.
I loved milk a lot and my mother brought
special non fat milk just for me because I was a little fat back then. I
thought the watered down milk was a little strange, but I drank it anyway because
I wanted to please my mom.
Two rather different milk-related
products that came to back then were concentrated milk and flavored straws. I don’t
know how they did it, but to save room in the refrigerator, you could buy this black
carton of concentrated milk and then add tree parts water to make the proper
consistency. I think it was called three-in-one milk and I remember it sitting
in our refrigerator many times because there were five in the family.
The other product was flavored straws.
Millions of moms packed these strawberry or chocolate-flavored straws in their
kids lunches. As the milk would go through the straw it would pick u the flavor. The straws were not very efficient and sometimes you would get a lot
of flavor and sometimes none.
I really wish that as much time and
effort were put into making products that delivered the word of God into our
lives. Just as we need our daily calcium, we need that daily Word.
Three-in-one milk and flavored straws
were designed to get milk into life. I would like to challenge each of us today
to do whatever it takes to get precious, life nourishing, life-changing Word
into our life and the lives of others today. Getting that spiritual food into
our hearts is no doubt the most important thing we can do each day.
I
would like to hear your experience or testimonials.
