Anyone know this song from long ago. “There is glory, there is glory, there’s a glory hallelujah in my soul.” A good way to start the Sabbath day. – Okay, not the original Sabbath. An argument so early in the day will drive away the glory!
Well, dear readers, I pray that today we will all find real glory in our worship. Let’s not get all wrought up with theological points, but neither let us fake glory.
Jesus is not fake; he is real, just as he was yesterday, and as he will be tomorrow. Today is a victory celebration day, and it should also be “arm yourself for battle” day.
So may you have a real “glory in Jesus” and “strength in his Word” day everyday! For a bit of added fragrance, bask in the truth of the following poem:
THE ROSE OF SHARON
A rose grew by the garden path
A child took a sniff, ran away with a laugh.
A short time later, a man walked by
Smelled the rose and made a pleasant sigh.
Now, I’ll ask a question, if I may.
If the rose were sniffed by a hundred noses,
Would it lose its fragrance by the end of the day?
So, what is my lesson from the rose?
Jesus’ love suffers no loss
No matter the number
Who partake at the cross.
(Oneta Hayes)
His fragrance never diminishes. Try it out. Find a quiet place. Breath in and think of Him. Isn’t it sweet? If you don’t “get a whiff,” move closer.

Love your poem, Oneta! I’ve saved it to share with others. Thanks.
You are very welcome. It is good used as an object lesson.with a real rose passed among class members if you ever need it for that reason.
Inspirational . Wonderful to remember but also to keep standing day by day knowing the wonder of our ‘relational God’. All because of Calvary. Thank you dear Oneta. Loved the poem.
Thank you, Faye, for you kind words. We do have a special understanding along with others of my blogging friends – an bond in Christ. So good;
