Got Milk?

Do you want to know
what has been on my mind lately?

What has been
bothering me several times in the past couple weeks?

 Chocolate Milk!

I love Chocolate milk, but it hasn’t been satisfying
lately, mostly because something keeps going wrong in the preparation.

The day started off like any other day, I was craving some
chocolate milk right before I headed to work. Yet this time, during my rush to
pour the milk, squirt the chocolate and get to the car; I forgot a spoon. I
COULDN’T STIR THE MILK!  Then I was
left to drink a whole glass of white milk with some chocolate resting at the
bottom, it would barely come out of the glass!

Last week all we had at home was some non-fat milk
(watered-down milk SICK) and my accidently, newly purchased “Lite� Hershey’s
chocolate syrup. When combining one or the other, in my case both, BEWARE you
will not get chocolate milk! You will get chocolate flavored water…GROSS!

 I mention my mishaps and experiences with my chocolate milk
to give you a snapshot of what my mind has been correlating chocolate milk with
over the past couple weeks.

 

We can receive all the “knowledgeâ€�, the sermons,   the wisdom,
and all the words that we want to. We can be poured into all day and night, yet
if we don’t let it get stirred up inside of us, then it all sinks to the bottom.
Our “color� may change, we may get slightly darker just to be called a
different shade of white, but when it comes to taste. WE WILL TASTE LIKE WHITE
MILK, because we never got stirred up. 

 

Or if we let ourselves be “lite� Christians with out the
real ingredients of LOVE and GRACE, then I doubt people will look at our lives
and say, “wow they are the real deal.� They will call us out for being flavored
water rather than the chocolate milk we were created to be.
