Paradise

Febreeze is to blame for the chaos in my mind right now. They have a new scent. Paradise.

Webster’s dictionary defines paradise as an intermediate place or state where the souls of the righteous await resurrection and the final judgement and/or a place or state of bliss, felicity, or delight.

Biblically the original paradise was the Garden of Eden. Paradise was mentioned several times in the bible. My favorite being Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

There are songs about paradise. You hear places referred to as paradise on earth. I believe there is a Paradise, California as well as a Paradise, Nevada.

What I want to know is how in the world does anyone know what paradise smells like? When we get to Heaven is it gonna smell like the Febreeze paradise scent? I know there are other scents out there, candles, body washes and such, with paradise in the name. How do these people know????

I mean what does the color green smell like? And no I don’t mean what does it smell like when you sniff the crayon. I know what you were thinking. Things like that throw my mind into something resembling duck duck goose. Thoughts running around in circles tagging the next one. It’s non-stop.

Maybe Eve caught the scent of paradise in a bottle before she was banished and it was handed down and duplicated over the years. You never know.
