For A Friend         10-22-2025

I went to pick some basil, That tender little herb,

The smell was far reaching, the fragrance was absolutely superb!

 

I bagged them in a ziplock, for her food and stews,

A tasty little morsel, when in hot water it brews.

 

We, like that little tender leaf when pressed and picked for good use,

Release a heavenly aroma to God, His perfection in us, His Truth.

 

Scripture reference: 2 Corinthians 2:15

“For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.”

 

Scripture reference: 2 Corinthians 4:17

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,”
