As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow.  (1 Peter 2:2)

“Cindy, how did your school trip to the farm turn out yesterday?” Dad passed the breakfast cereal and reached for the milk.

“It was all about milk, Dad.” Cindy pointed to the milk jug in Dad’s hand. “We got to the farm just in time to watch Farmer Brown and his workers milk the cows with a milking machine. That was really neat. Then one of the girls showed us how they separate the cream from the milk, and you know what? She gave each of us a glass of fresh cool milk with some cookies.”

“Sounds good. Was that it?”

“Oh, no. A truck came to the farm and we watched them pump the milk into a big tank on the truck. Then we scrambled into the school bus and followed the truck to the Creamery.  They showed us how they pasteurize the milk, and how they put the milk into paper cartons.”

“Very interesting!” Dad replied.

“Then we went to a big grocery store.” Cindy stopped to catch a quick breath. “We watched the store clerks put the cartons of milk on the shelves for the people to buy.” She raised the carton of milk from the breakfast table and said, “the store manager gave each of us one of these to take home.”

“Great. Now drink some. Helps you grow,” Dad said.

“Can I say the prayer this morning?” Cindy asked.

Dad nodded - and Cindy prayed.

Prayer: Dear loving Lord, thank You for everybody who worked so we can have milk to drink this morning. Amen.
