People who want to focus less on the stress of the daily grind and more on what's important and inspirational often say that they're making time "to smell the roses." That phrase takes on an even deeper meaning when you consider how often roses play a part in miracles and angelic encounters.

The scent of roses in the air when no rose flowers are nearby is a sign that an angel may be communicating with you.


A rose fragrance may also accompany the delivery of a blessing from God, such as a miraculously answered prayer.

I can recall several times from my life so far when I've smelled roses indoors with no flowers present; each time, it was after praying for peace about challenges -- and the rose aromas arrived in the air just as peace started to settle in my soul. The sweet scent of roses after prayer serve as tangible reminders of God's sweet love, helping me sense the reality of something I believe in, but which can sometimes seem abstract.

Those moments of supernaturally smelling roses are special blessings that don't occur regularly. So in the midst of my daily grind, I try to make time to smell natural roses whenever possible (even while grocery shopping, I try to sniff the roses in the floral department!). I hope you, too, will make time to "smell the roses" (both literally and figuratively) as often as possible. When you do, your senses can come alive to miraculous moments in your daily life that you may miss otherwise.
