<\/strong>II Corinthians 2:15-16<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFor we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in 1967 I was stationed in the northern tip of Newfoundland, Canada. As often as possible some of us would take trips to various parts of the Island. Many of the people in the villages were fishermen who fished for arctic cod.<\/p>\n

On one trip we visited a small fishing village where the fishermen had split the cod, salted them hung them on wooden frames and were letting it dry in the open air. There were several large oak barrels standing around as well.<\/p>\n

I asked one of the fishermen what was in the barrels. He laughed and took my arm to lead me over to one. He carefully removed the lid and I saw the ghastly sight of cod livers that were leeching out their oil.<\/p>\n

It made me think of the times as a boy when my mother forced me to take tablespoons of the awful smelling cod liver oil that was supposed to keep me from getting sick. As a matter of fact it made me sick to choke down the stuff.<\/p>\n

Here was this old fisherman proudly showing me his barrel that was producing heaven only knows how many doses of the yukky stuff. He then told me how much he loved it and would even drink from a cup that he kept beside the barrel. What to me was \u201cyuk\u201d was to him \u201cyum!\u201d The question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are \u201cyuk\u201d or \u201cyum\u201d to those lost souls around us? I pray it is Yum!\u201d<\/p>\n

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!<\/p>\n
