This beautiful little tree stands just outside the front door to my church. Sunday morning, my husband and I stood outside the church, greeting worshippers as they entered the building. The lilac fragrance of the flowers wafted toward us on a gentle breeze. It was so delicious and made me think of the following verses.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:1-2
Lord, may my offerings and sacrifices to you be as sweet and fragrant as the lilac blooms on this beautiful tree. Thank you for surrounding us with your beauty and for the fragrant sacrifice of your son, Jesus Christ.
