When we lived on the mountain in Tennessee, we used a wood stove for heat, in the winter time. Admittedly, I did not have it vented perfectly, therefore sometimes we carried the smell of a fireplace wherever we went. I remember that a cashier at the store was serving some of us and then looked around and asked if something was on fire. hehehe. really, it did happen.
When I go fishing and have to work with cut bait or old "fresh bait" or old GULPs, my hands take on a certain special aroma. My grandchildren have told me (in the past) that my car smells like fish. Actually, it rarely has a fishy smell because I take pains to eliminate that problem.
Whatever you keep your hands in, might cause you to carry that smell with you. If your work place or your living area has a particularly odoriferous atmosphere, you are likely to carry that smell with you.
NOW FOR THE KICKER...
If you live in the light and life of Christ, you will give off a sweet smelling aroma, but if you allow the filth, garbage, sewage of this world to be your daily habitat, you will stink to high heaven.
2 Corinthians 2:14-15
(14) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
Don't be rotten fish on a hot day, Don't stink up your world. Let the beauty of Jesus live in you and you will give off the sweet smell of salvation.
