Shopping For Colognes
I always get confused when shopping with my wife
for perfumes and nice smelling colognes, that's life.
After sniffing a while, most everything smells the same.
However, this experience I had, proved to be different as rain.
The sales clerk had heard me complain.
It was about my confusion of smells
and then she handed me a small-netted bag.
You'll never guess how it was filled,
except you conneseurs of perfumes, and please don't nag.
It was filled with coffee beans. Nice fragrant coffee beans.
I held it a minute then I followed her instructions to take a good sniff
of the bag. And amazingly and immediately my nostrils were cleared.
Fragrances of all the previous smells were gone in a jiff.
I was once again able to detect distinct odors of which some were weird! lol
Many times life is confusing. We are not sure which step to take.
We seek counsel from friends, family, and spiritual leaders for goodness sake.
but often to no avail. God is not unkind. He is not trying to trick us.
He makes His will clear. It is on our end that the confusion has happened thus.
We must take steps to clear our minds to discern God’s will.
Reading God’s word and yielding to Him, will help all of us heal
and we can clear our minds for God’s direction and will.
