Smell of Death or Fragrance of Life?

Tom set up the lawn chairs in the front yard this evening so Zachary, Tom & I could watch the beautiful sunset. Tom saw something moving in the distance and thought it was a cat. As the creature walked up the lawn and came nearer to us Tom noticed it was a SKUNK!! Oh no!! We rushed Angel inside the house right away so her curiosity wouldn't get the best of her. How awful would THAT have been to have a house-dog reek of a skunk?....Oh the thought!! My my my.

Almost instantly I said aloud, "I wonder what message this skunk has for me?" It took only five minutes or so and this is what God wanted to share......

But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life. And who is equal to such a task? - 2nd Corinthians 2:14-16

Who would have ever imagined that God, through an ADHD ME, could use ME to spread everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him?? Yes, God knit me in my mother's womb with ADHD with a purpose in mind. Now that purpose is coming to fruition for God's Glory and I am blessed to be that ADHD instrument for Him without saying "Now what was I gonna say?" Hallelujah!! God is good!!
