Walking in cream

One of the most poignant laments in the Bible is Job's account of the "good old days" in Job 29:1-6. He speaks of the months gone by when he was in his prime and his children were around him and -(my favorite!)-when his path was drenched with cream.

Some people my age and older lament the passage of "the good old days." Perhaps they have forgotten outdoor toilets, box fans in the summer and space heaters in the winter, washing clothes in a tub and hanging them outside on a line, and reading by "drop lights" (one weak light bulb dropped from the center of the ceiling).

Not me! No, my good old days are here. I am walking in cream today. Thank you Lord!
