Chanel No 5

The scent of a woman...

I have this picture of my girl friends- each one is likened to a bottle of perfume with its own scent and own design. Precious, you-nique and expensive.

I have seen and learnt things from these ladies that i will take with me wherever i go: i can splash on a bit of chanel no 5 for a grand evening. I can spray some anais for days i feel sad and down. I can dab on a bit of hugo boss for that sporty day.

Thing is: these precious (ex)samples given to me by my friends help me in life- helps me in my marriage, in my mothering, in being hospitable; being a homemaker; being a friend... in every sphere of my life. Much more priceless than the most expensive perfume... they all have Jesus as the main ingredient.

2Co 2:14 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.

We need to commune with Christ in order to be filled again to overflowing... When last have you spent yourself on Christ- allowing your entire life to be filled with a sweet aroma: HIS PRESENCE leaving a trail wherever we go.


Joh 12:3 Mary therefore took a pound of expensive ointment made from pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
