Word Filled Wednesday


Today is Wednesday - Word-Filled Wednesday where God's Word is combined with beautiful pictures to bless our Wednesdays. This is hosted over at 160AcreWood and you will find a lot of gorgeous pictures and verses over there.
Before I share my verse today, I want to give you a little background. When I was a child, my mother had severe allergies. Anything that carried a scent would trigger her allergy. Our family always used the unscented version of soap, shampoos, hair sprays, etc. We could not use perfume, have pets, candles etc. As soon as I got married, scents became a passion for me. I chose the strongest scented shampoo, air fresheners, candles etc. Scent is very important to me and there is nothing that makes me happier than someone telling me my house smells good!
As Christians, we should leave a beautiful scent to those we are around. The aroma of Christ is recognized by our godly actions and attitudes. This verse is a wonderful reminder to me that I am representing Christ everywhere I go and inspires me to leave a beautiful fragrance which points others to Him. May you have a blessed WFW!

    That is a great reminder. We can be a little stinker or we can be the fragrance of Christ. It's a daily choice. Blessings to you!

    i love the beauty in the words. it's so obvious that the bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit...because who else comes up with stuff like, "the fragrance of the knowledge of Him."

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
