Smelling the tropics

Cheryl doesn't normally have a sense of smell -- literally. Allergies, which she already gets medicine for, swell the area around her smell receptors. There are times, though, when she inexplicably temporarily regains a sense of smell.

A few weeks ago in our small group we prayed that Cheryl would be able to smell Guam -- which she has never been able to do. On her walk this morning her sense of smell started to return and today she is smelling the tropics for the first time. Praise the Lord.

It's not fully there, yet. For some reason she can't smell the plumerias, which have a strong sweet scent. Hopefully that will come, too.
