Hi, come on in my friend for a lovely cuppa together.  I recently read a great post on seasonal fragrances by Donna*.

I haven’t really given much thought to the scents of all the different seasons before. Have you?

Although, I always enjoy the beautiful fragrance of Spring with the heavy scent of Frangipani, Gum blossoms & Star Jasmine in the air.

And in most seasons the smell of the salty sea greets me on my walks by the waterfront, living here on the East coast of Australia.

But the fragrance of other seasons has escaped me…

But, before we continue let’s grab our cuppa’s & get comfy, I’m having a cup of Coffee today with a toasted slice of gf Date Loaf! What’s yours?

Fragrances

Like most people I enjoy wearing different fragrances, although my all time favourite perfume is White Musk as it reminds me (& my grandchildren) of candy.

Did you know that aromas are the strongest memory prompts? They can trigger memories like nothing else can.

An example of this is in the following;

The other week as I drove along the country back road to my daughter’s home, once again the aroma of the countryside combined with the scent of the live stock, the freshly cut Lucerne & seeing the farmers working in their fields transported me back in time.

In that moment my mind flooded with sweet, sweet memories of my late husband, Ed.

The familiar aromas of the countryside had triggered memories of a time when I had amazing health & energy.

Working alongside my wonderful man in the paddocks, stock yards & the shearing shed as we worked the farm together.

It was a sweet time that is forever etched upon my heart of a man who demonstrated his love to me in such amazing ways with his legacy living on to this day.

I thank my Heavenly Father for Ed’s love & our precious life together that we had before he lost his battle with brain cancer.

A sobering thought to ponder…

As Season is my word for this year that recent post definitely caught my attention, as I often ponder what Spiritual aroma I may be leaving behind for the Lord.

And ask myself the folllowing am I; to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing? As 2 Corinthans 2:15 states.

Hmmm, a sobering question…Don’t you think?

Until next time,

Jennifer
