When my grandchild, Ashlynn, was two, her mom was overjoyed to
receive a bottle of her favorite perfume for Christmas. She placed the
pretty bottle on the bathroom vanity.
Later, Ashlynn
disappeared into the bathroom for a while; then came out into the living
room where we were all sitting. She smelled STRONGLY of fine perfume!
Oddly, she was wearing a washcloth on her head.
She had
mistaken the perfume for hairspray. When she realized her mistake, she
decided to cover up the fragrance with the washcloth! It didn't work.
As
I remembered this cute story, I thought of a little worship chorus that
is taken from Song of Solomon 1:3. We can sing these words to Jesus.
Your name is like an ointment poured forth,
A fragrance rare of wonderful oil.
Your name is like an ointment poured forth,
Your wonderful, wonderful name!
Father God,
As
we go about our day, I pray that in our words and actions, the
fragrance of Christ will be as noticeable as Mommy's perfume on
Ashlynn's hair.
