                    A PLEASING AROMA
There was a factory in northern France where lavender for use in perfumes was produced. Each evening as the workers would head for home and walk the streets the little town, the whole village would be filled with the sweet aroma of lavender that had clung to the workers.

Everybody eats turkey on Thanksgiving Day.”   So he lies there, watching the back door, eagerly awaiting his

                    Recently I stepped into the restroom next to the office where I work. Another employee was standing there with a scowl on his face, and complained to me about the smell in the bathroom.
I was rather puzzled. Just by the very nature of their purpose restrooms have a tendency to contain some very

You ever met someone that had no sense of smell? I have, and actually, an estimated 2.7 million people in the United States have an impaired or absent sense of smell. It's known as chronic olfactory dysfunction.
Most people I know can smell when there is a certain powerful

                    Bernard of Clairvaux speaks of a “perfume compound of the remembered benefits of God.”  Such a fragrance is easily obtained by spending a season in praise for the things God has already done.  Not just by saying thank you, but by expressing a life of gratitude.  Every born-again Christian should be
