“But thanks be to God, who always leads
us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the
fragrance of the knowledge of him.”
(2 Corinthians 2:14 NIV)
My husband,
Jeff, delivered a basket of home-grown tomatoes to Madison’s Senior Center. The
director told him she opened the front door to the center that morning and
smelled something burning. The acrid aroma drew her to the kitchen where a freezer
plug had shorted. That faint smell, sensed in the nick of time, assuredly saved
the building from a disastrous fire.
God created
us with the senses of smell and hearing to help us be more aware of our
surroundings.
