...the Fragrance of our Praise

This week, an envelope from Canada arrived carrying the sweetness of these messages.  The bookmarks were additionally sweetened by the scent of Iris, a perfume shared with me by a blogging friend, Brenda.  As my husband left at 6:00 for the church office to pray and prepare for the our service today, I stepped out to say goodbye.  I was greeted by the most amazing coolness--and the birds had an early start to their praise.  What an "easy" morning to lift my own praises to the Heavenly Father who alone and forever is worthy!
♪ I will give You all my worship.
I will give You all my praise.
You alone I long to worship;
You alone are worthy of my praise! ♫
(You Are Worthy of my Praise)

  1. How very sweet. I was awake for a while
    during the early hours of this morning and
    the Holy Spirit led me into praise too. It
    is easy when you open your eyes to all the
    beauty around you.
    Hope your day is filled with His presence
    and peace.

  3. Yes...and Amen...lift up our praise! What sweet gift also from your blogging friend.
    After last Sunday's gift of a hot air balloon in my backyard I woke up this morning excited about the kisses of God which He brings into our lives.
    Blessings and Welcome Sunday!

  9. Rebecca my heart overflowed reading your post today. I can just imagine you stepping outdoors to say goodbye to your dear husband and then feeling that breeze and hearing those birds must have felt like a heavenly hug. What sweet inspiration and reminder to praise our heavenly Father. You heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day!

  12. It's evening here now, and I wanted to visit one more blog friend before getting up to prepare dinner for me and my daughter.

    Your name was laid on my heart... and here I am at your place!

    This is so beautiful, Rebecca. Now, I am not sure what the scent of iris is... but I'm sure it's fragrant. The book marks are lovely.

    And the sense of praise on this post touched my heart right where I am, thousands of miles away from you!

    I love that song you quoted...

    Love
