Even though the Garbage Truck makes a distinctive sound, the smell is even more unique. Not many things smell as bad as a garbage truck. The only thing that comes near is the T-Shirt that was washed with the dirty dish rags! Enough to gag a maggot!
As I prepare to run past the garbage truck as it makes its way into my cul-de-sac, I hold my breath and hope the wind does not blow the smell my way as I take a breath. I don't see how those guys on the back of the truck handle the smell all day... they must have had their olfactory nerves removed!
Did you know that YOU have a smell? A SPIRITUAL smell? The Bible says, "For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life." (2Cor. 2:15-16)
Don't forget that as a child of God you "are the aroma of Christ." All the more reason to live out a positive witness.... a negative witness will make people think that we've been "washed with the dirty dish rags!"
