FRESH
By Sally I. Kennedy
October 3, 2010

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshing may come from the Lord. Acts 3:19

Showered and pressed, I felt fresh as a crisp autumn morning. I
arrived at the airport early. With few people in line at that hour,
getting through check-in and the scanners was smooth and quick.

I stepped into a news stand to buy a paperback suspense mystery and a
candy bar, then headed down the concourse. Soon the smell of grease
was strong, hanging heavy in the stale airport air. Looking around, I
spotted a fast-food place preparing to open for the day. T he poorly
ventilated restaurant was the culprit.

My gate was just across the aisle. As I sat there I could sense that
odor permeating my clothes and hair. I had started out clean, but it
wasn't going to last long. I'd need another shower by the time I
arrived at the conference hotel.

I thought of how, spiritually, I can be determined, purposed, cleaned
up and refreshed, and how it doesn't last that long. Just about daily
I have to renew my determination, etc.

The Bible has great wisdom and wonderful practical advice on many
things, including this subject. Yes I want to choose spiritual
refreshing, so I'll be fresh as a crisp autumn morning, from the
inside out.
