Pleasant Presence...

It shouldn't happen.  Well, it's not like the world will end if it doesn't.  As a southern gal, however, it is extremely important to never leave home without one's favorite fragrance enhancing her presence.  This doesn't mean we knock people down with a strong cloud of perfume before, during or after we walk through a room. That is not how it should be done.  Instead, I am referring to the sweet aroma of a pleasant presence that is lightly, yet effectively, applied. 

As much as I enjoy my favorite perfumes, it is much more important to embrace a Greater Presence in our lives.  This One involves the love, compassion, hope, peace, gratitude and authenticity, of our precious Lord.  Even if my life should "look great, smell great and seem great," it would not reach its full purpose, potential or peace...without Him.  Knowing He loves me...changes everything.

I have made it a daily habit as I daily surround myself with a pleasant fragrance, to remember the most Precious Presence Who holds me each moment.  May all I do, say, think and live...reflect Him above all else.  May I never leave home without Him.♥~thl

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God."  Ephesians 5: 1>2
