Wednesday is my least favorite day to walk around the neighborhoods of Hapeville. You see, Wednesday is trash day. Everyone has their rolling cans with the city logo out by the road. If they are closed things are o.k. but some people overstuff them allowing an odor to escape that is most unpleasant to put it mildly. Using that as a metaphor for our lives I’d say that the stench of sin has the potential to dwell within each of us. Sometimes we can hide it from others, but other times it seeps out and repels others. Sometimes our sins get in the way of us accomplishing things we need to accomplish in life. Our goal as followers of Christ is to take out the trash once and for all.
God of heaven and earth, Forgive us our sins and help us to lead lives that are precious as perfume to you and our brothers and sisters in this world. Guide and strengthen us for the day. We ask in the name of the One who was sinless. Amen.
