A delightful
fragrance enveloped me. Looking around the foyer I spotted the perfume’s fount.
A dozen or so Easter lily’s huddled
together, exuding their potent, sweet scent. I couldn't resist. Bending down, I poked my
nose into one of the large white trumpet shaped flowers and inhaled, deeply.
Again and again. Is this what heaven will
smell like? I wondered.
Throughout the
day that question played in my mind. So
I did a Google search.
I discovered Scripture
is full of imagery of what God looks like or sounds like. Tabernacle incense is
mentioned, but what about heaven’s scent?
When a panel of adults was asked, "What does heaven smell like?" they mentioned, "freshly baked bread, an ever-flowing river of chocolate, freshly roasted coffee, the smell of barbecue on a hot summer day." Kids commented, "bubble gum, hot dogs, spaghetti or pizza."
