Sometimes we need to reminded…of the Father’s unconditional love for us. Today is a perfect day for that reminder.
Psalm 76:4, 93:4

I love growing flowers in my yard and I have way too many. You can ask my husband who helps me water.
I don’t love growing weeds. And evidently, they do not need water.
Weeds remind me of trials, tribulations, problems, just the icky part of life that sometimes walks right in and makes itself at home. No water needed, no fertilizer or particular soil.
So when I saw these weeds the other day at the edge of the creek the Father reminded me of a simple truth.
Sometimes those weeds can become pretty flowers.
Sometimes those things in our lives that bring us pain, frustration, and trouble can turn into the most beautiful part of our life.
I had to stop and think about that for a minute.
Sometimes those weeds end up being the favorite part of our yard.
And all along I thought it was just a weed.

I like candles. There are a couple that I buy each and every season. There are certain perfumes I love, and some not so much. There are sprays to eliminate foul odors in shoes, cars and carpets
Don’t you love walking through gardens smelling the delightful fragrances floating in the air? Right now honeysuckle is aloft and hits your senses with power when stepping out the door. I love peonies and saw a perfume in a magazine today of that very smell!
How about walking into your grandmother’s kitchen and smelling fresh apple pie? And who can forget freshly baked bread? And garlic….it smells great on breadsticks, well anything really.
Have you imagined a scent right now? Scents even have the ability to bring forth memories. Scents have amazing influence and impacts on our lives.
A sweet smelling fragrance has an even more permanent impact
A fragrance in this passage is something sweet-smelling, an odor of acquiescence, satisfaction; a sweet odor.
We are a fragrance….Christ through us! I don’t know about you, but sometimes I think I stink. But in Christ, nope…I am a peonie!
