People put more money in the collection plates. Gotta put on a good show, nice smells are a plus too. Now that's pretty clever... being as most churches are government run institutions. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 128129 United States 08/08/2006 12:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's strange too, because I don't attend church and I don't pray every night. I don't even subscribe to a particular religion, yet I like that book because the way it's written fills me with peace. And the roses are an added plus! I probably wouldn't qualify as a Christian as I believe Jesus did not want to be worshiped. I believe he wanted to teach us to be like him and that we can do the things he can do. Yet I've had an out-of-body experience in which I met with him and we talked like old friends. He also told me to 'save myself' that night in a very vivid way. So, to me the roses are associated with Jesus. Maybe your mom recieved an answer from him. |

DreamSeeker (OP) User ID: 66931 United States 08/08/2006 12:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yes! But not while praying. There is a book I have about the teachings of Jesus and whenever I read from it, the room begins to smell like roses.

I've been wondering about whether she got healed yesterday. The church has prayed for her several times about her medical problems. I'm wondering if God decided to heal her and he answered her by letting her smell this scent of roses. She said it was very strange because she was the only one that smelled it. So maybe you are right and this was her answer. She also quit smoking about 1 1/2 months ago. The have been praying for her to be delivered from the cravings. I thought at first that she had been delivered. But, she still craves them so that wasn't what it was. It just dawned on me while typing this...Maybe since she quit smoking, God healed her of her medical problems and this was his way of letting her know.?? "Your talent is God’s gift to you.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 128127 United States 08/08/2006 12:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The scent of roses is a sign from the Blessed Virgin Mary. Quoting: DreamSeekerReally? This was a Pentecostal church. God's graces are available to all who sincerely seek. The Blessed Virgin has even appeared to Protestants. Of course, they don't usually stay Protestant after that- LOL |
Chaiyah User ID: 128065 United States 08/08/2006 12:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This happened to my Mom at church yesterday. The elders were laying hands on her for her medical problems and when she went to sit back down at her seat she smelled roses. ... She said that it was overpowering her perfume all of a sudden. Quoting: DreamSeeker.. She asked my Stepdad if he smelled it and he did not. Then she asked a friend of hers that was next to her if she smelled it and she didn't either. She suggested that maybe there was a scent in the olive oil. She had her husband smell her forhead and it didn't have the scent either. ... I have never heard of it, but would love to hear about it if anyone else has ever had any experience with it. Yes, I smell roses when--simultaneously--I sense the thoughts of SOMEONE NEARBY reminding me to be compassionate, patient or forebearing. It's an angel, come to see her. It's a sign that her prayers are being received. Wonderful sign. |

They say that the Blessed Mother is present when you smell this wonderful fragrance. I'm tripping out that this seems to be something that happens in the Catholic church and Mom is Pentecostal. I wonder what the deal is? "Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God" |

I feel like I've been missing out! I'm going to have to start paying closer attention. I can't wait to call Mom and tell her. She will be so happy that it has happened to other people. I'm really beginning to think that it was a sign of her healing. "Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God" |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 127272nowhere in the bible, it says that we should pray to Mary.... It's a blasphemy... No, they were praying to God in Jesus' name. "Your talent is God’s gift to you.

DreamSeeker (OP) User ID: 66931 United States 08/08/2006 12:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hope and pray that your mother Quoting: B 75422will be healed. The scent of roses could be a sign that heaven hears her prayers and the Blessed Mother will intercede for her. Thank you B! She has been suffering with so many problems for so long...Fibromyalgia, heart disease, congestive heart failure, diabetes, skin cancer, arthritis, neuropathy. She is only 61 years old. This all started when she was 41. The Fibromyalgia is the worst. She is in so much pain that she sometimes calls me crying. It breaks my heart. I live 2000 miles away so all I can do is pray for her and cry with her. I am so anxious now to see if she is healed! "Your talent is God’s gift to you.
