Lovely mums are in full glory. Fragrant flowers stop me in my tracks as I smell them. Touching the blossom on the nose, I inhale the aroma deep into my lungs. The scent dyes all inside of me autumn. The sweet smell of the mums in full bloom holds the deepening of autumn richly. I hope the members of our church also keep the aroma of being filled with the Holy Spirit, not the smell of human desires, and give off the love of Jesus generously.
