The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children;

2 and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you, and gave Himself

up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.

There’s really nothing quite like a sweet-smelling perfume. Under

the right circumstances, we just r-e-l-a-x and enjoy it as if nothing

else mattered. But, it’s not always easy to smell good. I remember

a lady in a church I once pastored. She was a godly lady and

knew her Bible very well. We often talked about how much we

agreed on Scripture –but she smelled so! It was stifling!!! I had

trouble breathing when around her. That was the physical side.

Spiritually, she was a “fragrant aroma.” ~ We become that fragrant

aroma when we are imitators of God and live and walk in Him.

Someone has said that “cleanliness is next to godliness.” But I

say that if you’re not clean, you won’t be next to anyone for very

long. You all are very sweet. See that you stay that way. 🙂

We love you under all circumstances,

Nana & Dado III
