I was reminded of this when we were in Denver recently and I wanted to get my new favorite donut from VooDoo, the Mango Tango! In the store they had made this special donut:
This is in honor of a special plant that recently bloomed at the Denver Botanical Garden!
The Corpse plant flower is HUGE, about 10 feet tall, and beautiful. It's a rare one, only a few exist in the United States in special gardens. Get this: it only blooms about every 10 years! But you can imagine what it smells like, with a name like "Corpse plant." So interesting! Something so big and beautiful with such a repulsive smell. My sis-in-law's lesson reminded me that the aroma we give off should be pleasant and pleasing to God. There is nothing more repulsive than a physically beautiful person that has a stinky attitude!
If you're interested in this amazing plant, check out this video!

I love how you find a spiritual application in so many everyday life happenings!
I saw (smelled) one last year at the St Louis Botanical Gardens!
I didn't know there was a VooDoo in Denver.
How neat that they made a donut in honor of that flower and that it reminded you of that talk :).
