The Fragrance of Christmas - Day 5 - Holiday Haiku Challenge
/
Welcome to Day 5 of our Holiday Haiku Challenge Today’s guest, Mandy Mianecki, is preparing her heart this advent season by praying through the ancient scents mentioned in the holy Scriptures. The fragrances of frankincense and myrrh are literally wafting through her home as she leads her children deep into God’s Word this Christmas.
Perhaps the fragrances that fill your home today smell more like spiced cider and pork chops or candy canes mingling with evergreen boughs.
Regardless, don't we know at Christmastime that our lives poured out in worship is the most fragrant offering of all?
Dear Friends, today's Holiday Haiku Writing Prompt is
