Sweet Aroma

     So, I have started a new waking up routine with a good friend in order to "maximize my mornings" compliments of inspiredtoaction.com and this morning was the first morning.  I didn't want to wake up, but a few minutes into my quiet time...and I was alive:).  I took the time to spend in God's word, pray, encourage my husband, worship, stretch, sing, eat breakfast, sit on the porch and marvel at the beauty, look in on my sleeping boys, and all of that in just 45 minutes.  It was good.  

     And then as I was getting ready for work, I was drying my hair and smelled baby powder.  I was not wearing baby powder and kind of detest deodorant that smells of baby powder...Then a funny thought hit me.  I was reminded of our ladies' retreat last year where we talked about a "sweet aroma" to Jesus.    And I laughed, thinking that my sweet aroma during this time in my life is that of baby powder because I am a mama:).  Praise God for a beautiful morning where I was encouraged to get out of bed and spend time with the One who made the morning.
