Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand.
Revelation 8:3-4 (NIV)
We are a fragrant offering, the aroma of Christ to those who are saved and those who are perishing. Our prayers waft up to God on the wings of wisps of an angel's offering.
Fresh tomatoes on the vine.
Melting chocolate.
Rubbed lavender.
Fresh gardenias.
Simmering spices.
All the best fragrances were created by God, yet it is the aroma of a life of praise that smells the sweetest to the master and creator of all.

Hi Patty :-)
What a pleasant surprise to open my e-mai here on the coast during our vacation and see Betty's labor of love so close to completion. The cover looks GREAT. I can't wait to have a copy of Jessie in my hands. Your mother's skill as story teller and talent as a writer will now be known to many others. You must be very proud!
