A FISH-PEACH AROMA
After spending the day
fishing at Ocean City (MD),
we capped the day by going
to the movie, "The Cat from
Outer Space."
Prior to entering the theatre,
we met a gentleman selling
peaches, and purchased a
basketful from him.
After the show, we approached
our car. As we did, we were
treated to the worst sweet-sour
smell, ever.
We know that we are supposed
to give thanks for all things,
and under all circumstances,
but this aroma was really
tough.
Nevertheless, we gave thanks.
Immediately after finishing the
prayer, our wife, Donna, exclaimed,
"I can't smell a thing. My nose is
stopped up."
This was a minor life incident. And
we were reminder to us of how grateful
we should be. We also learned that
some aromas are much worse than
others.
