Honeysuckle. O LORD!

Psalm 34:8  Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Song of Songs 2:13  The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”

John 12:3  Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

Isaiah 6:3

And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;

the whole earth is full of his glory.”

Have you picked a honeysuckle flower?  Did you pull the bottom off of the flower and the stamen out?
