She was about three at the time...
the day
my daughter
and I
walked up to the altar
after Bible Class to speak to our Pastor
he saw us coming
and waited for us
The next day as my daughter was preparing for nap
I sat next to her rubbing her back
when just as she dozed off
her
sweet
little
voice
whispered
"Mommy, last night at Bible Class... Jesus smelled good"
I blinked
then smiled
realizing in that brief moment
that she had mixed up
the man with
the message
She thought our Pastor was Jesus
and although I corrected her
that
sweet
little
whispering voice
has stayed with me for years
"Jesus smelled good"
and I realize that she was on to something...
we should all "be" Jesus
as
we live
we work
we interact
passing one another throughout the day
the fragrance of God should be upon us
sweet
fresh
vibrant
to awaken
the senses of those around us
and linger
