”So this morning as I was scrolling facebook I came across this photo..and immediately it took me back to my childhood in the 80’s..and I could smell every ounce of the Strawberry 🍓 babies..they each had a distinctive smell to them..but they all smelled so wonderful..Amen..so I sent this to my sister Judy because she used to draw them all the time when she was younger..Amen..and of course she texted back how wonderful..I love it..Amen..but my mind began thinking of the scriptures in the word of God about how we all should have a sweet smell ourselves to the Lord..that we should be a pleasing aroma..an acceptable sacrifice for our Father..(Exodus 29:25/Leviticus 1:9/2 Corinthians 2:15)..Amen!”

“And I thought Lord what do I smell like Father when you look down on me?..Amen..am I pleasing to you Lord?..am I living in the way Lord you alone would desire?..Amen..because I say that for the mere fact that none of us truly see ourselves for the way that we truly are..considering at how easy it is for us to pinpoint others faults but yet fail to see our own?..Amen..for I do know that the Bible encourages us to examine ourselves to see whether or not we are in the faith..for it says that we are not our own..for Jesus is in us..(2 Corinthians 13:5/2 Peter 1:19-11)..Amen..for the word says we have been bought with a price..therefore we are too glorify God in our bodies and in our spirit..(1 Corinthians 6:20)..Amen!”

“So I must ask us all this morning how are we doing?..Amen..for only we ourselves know our own selves..but yet we fail to see our own selves in the way we are..Amen..but I do think that God speaks to us and it’s our choice to hear and receive and follow through to being better with our lives..and to consider change and who we are before the Lord..the things we do and the things we say..for only we can help ourselves by helping ourselves..Amen..but in doing so we grow..and we do hopefully smell like a sweet smelling aroma to our Lord and Savior as He alone looks upon us..Amen..for there is no better victory then knowing that we are a sweet and wonderful smell going up into our Lords nostrils..Amen!”

”For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen & Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
