Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

The Mosque of St. Sophia in Constantinople is always fragrant with the odor of musk, and has been for centuries, though nothing is done to keep it perfumed. The explanation is that when it was built, over one thousand years ago, the stones and bricks were laid in mortar mixed with a solution of musk. If the deeds we do are full of kindness and love, long after we have passed away, their fragrance will linger in the world.

Reflecting on an act of kindness or a word of encouragement brings a smile to our faces and warmth to our hearts. Let our words and deeds raise the spirits of our friends and acquaintances. The apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:1 says this:

“Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God—as you are doing—do so even more.”

"God, help us to express our gratitude to those who touched our lives.
Amen."
