Kool-Aid Kid
by PamFord Davis I was a Kool-Aid kid of the 1950's & 60's generation. Mom emptied packets of favorite Kool-Aid flavor granules into a Tupperware pitcher, filled the container with water from the tap, and added ample cubes of ice. The refreshing and inexpensive drink was a summertime mainstay. This morning, when filling ice cube trays, I thought of Kool-Aid. In my childhood, there were no parental health concerns over food color-dyes or the additional cup of sugar. My Mom was attempting to satisfy thirst of five energetic children. Kool-Aid met the need. "As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God (Psalm 42:1-2 KJV)." Jesus came to our aid. He alone is able to satisfy my spiritual thirst for a personal relationship with God. "But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst ; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life (John 4:14 KJV)."
