On my desk I have a little jar.... This little jar is always in front of me.... I have this little jar below my monitor because I spend most of my days in front of it... What is in this jar is a constant reminder to me....... A reminder that I want to be a pleasing aroma to those I know... those I meet... and mostly to God.... What I mean by a pleasing aroma is not my actual body scent (although I hope that I am appealing).... but the way I present myself.... The way I live my life..
If you look in the jar you will see many little "pebbles" of various sizes and shapes... The aroma of these pebbles is a beautiful spicy mixture.... An aroma you will not find here in America....
Can you guess what it is????? For the answer click here....
What a great idea! I can't tell how often I need a reminder like that!
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool. I've never smelled that before. What does it smell like?
ReplyDelete@ Amo - it really smells good. It smells like very rich spices - similar to ground cinnamon, allspice... but with a hint of floral...
ReplyDeleteI would have never guessed this one. I've never even seen Frankincense, much less smelled it. I love what you are doing with it!
ReplyDeleteI also would of never guessed. But wow! That is so cool. So where can I get some. I could also use that in my life. Love the idea behind it!!
ReplyDeleteNever would have guessed! What a cool idea
ReplyDeleteDid Gaby give that to you? She brought us some when she came back from you know where last year
ReplyDelete@ Roxanna - Yep it is.... It's from the night she shared of her experiences... It's been on my desk up close and personal ever since...
ReplyDeleteI've never smelled it before, now I want to...
ReplyDeleteIt's either Frankincense or Myrrh.
ReplyDeleteNow you have me curious.... interesting.
ReplyDeleteCool!!! It makes me think of the verse in John 13 where Jesus gives the "new" command to love one another as I have loved you. If we really seek to do this (although we fail of course) we would be the fragrance.
ReplyDeleteWow! That's cool! What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHow cool! I, too, would never have guessed!
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Kelly.
Have a nice day!
Love it! I always try to have an appealing aroma too. xoxo

p.s. I'm following you. :)
Love it! However, I can see the boys thinking they could play with it. I guess I would just have to put mine up really high. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great reminder and object lesson...
ReplyDeleteI got my kids some of this one Christmas. And some myrrh. No gold, though - I didn't want anyone to think I had a madonna complex.
