Analogy - The Trash Truck

Original Photo by Bethany Woods

This morning I was driving with my windows down when I fell in line behind a trash truck. Wow... it was so stinky that I held my breath for fear of being sick. Then, it hit me. I don't want to be a garbage truck. I don't want to have a load of stinky burdens that I carry with me all the time that leaves a wake of nausea behind me for other people to encounter. Nope, I want to be a float from the Rose Bowl parade! I want to leave a wake of sweet smelling fragrance wherever I go. 

How about you? Today, as you ran errands, swept the floors, or walked through your office corridor... were you a garbage truck or a rose covered float? 

Let's spur one another on to LOVE and good works! Let's leave a wake of joy behind us!
