The Smell of God -- Baby Grace


Susan and I are in the process of sitting before our Father... praying about her trip to Africa this July. As we were discussing this yesterday Susan was sharing her heart to hold and love on babies. She told me of a feeling or thought she has had since she was a little girl ... that she might be given the opportunity to care for a child or children that weren't her biological children. As she anticipates going to Africa her hope is that she will be able to hold and love on some of the orphaned children.

Sunday morning we were blessed to hold Mimi's sweet baby May during Bible study. Susan kept her on her lap almost the entire hour, swaddled in her blanket. Considering the opportunities that might lay before her in Africa. The children she might meet, the friends she may be blessed to make. Breathing deep May's sweet baby smell, a scent straight from our heavenly Father. (okay, Mimi just changed her right before hand :)

While I was watching Susan take joy in just 'being' with May on her lap, I thought of our favorite new perfume. Baby Grace. What could smell better than just being baby grace?

Susan still needs financial support to make this mission a reality. If you are interested in supporting her contact me and I will connect you two.
