I awoke at 3:00 AM on December 9th, 2004 to the fragrance of men's cologne. The scent was strong, but it smelled so good that I inhaled as much of the aroma as I could. The night before I had been thinking a lot about men. It is the time of year when I long for the company and warmth of male companionship, and in my daily prayers I ask God to keep me on the path he has set for me. The first thought that came to my mind was, "God is sending me a message!"
But then I began to think through where the fragrance might have come from. I live in a home that was just built in March of 2004, and I am the first owner. I have two dogs, which are Springer Spaniels, but they were not with me at the time. I had taken them to my ex-husband's house a few days earlier, and nothing about them has ever smelled even vaguely similar to the aroma I savored that early morning. It had been several days since I had worn any cologne, but what I smelled wasn't even close to anything I own, and no one but me had been in my house for many days.
I am in various stages of dating or developing friendships with five different gentlemen. I am not sure if any of these acquaintances will lead to a meaningful relationship, but I believe each one is in my life for a specific reason. As for the scent, I have a feeling that God was sending a message to me. Perhaps it means that a man wearing a cologne like the one I smelled that memorable morning, would be the right one for me.
