Lilacs

In our backyard and our front yard (and in the neighbor's yard) we have lilac bushes. They are awesome! Our yard smells beau-ti-ful. I love it.

Last night Lorie and I went out and harvested a few lilac flowers. We put them in the kitchen, in our bedroom, in the bathroom, etc. and now our house smells great. It's amazing how this little bush can make such a strong smell.

But you and I are no different.

II Corinthians 2:14-15 ~ In the Messiah, in Christ, God leads us from place to place in one perpetual victory parade. Through us, He brings knowledge of Christ. Everywhere we go, people breathe in the exquisite fragrance. Because of Christ, we give off a sweet scent rising to God, which is recognized by those on the way of salvation—an aroma redolent with life. (MSG)

We are supposed to be a sweet smell to those around us, one that points people to the reason we live, the reason we smell so nice, Jesus. Just a thought, but how do you smell to those around you?
