Taste and Smell: Savor the Flavor!

Taste and Smell: Savor the Flavor!

Savor: enjoy or appreciate (something pleasant) completely, especially by dwelling on it.

 

The nose and mouth are connected through the same airway which means that you taste and smell foods at the same time. Since they both use the same types of receptors, if one's sense of smell is not functional, then the sense of taste will also not function well because of these receptors. So taste and smell work hand in hand. 

 

The sense of taste can recognize salty, sweet, bitter, sour and savory, but when you combine this with the sense of smell it adds another dimension to the flavor experience.

 

Prayer has an aroma - “May my prayer come to you like the sweet smell of incense. When I lift up my hands in prayer, may it be like the evening sacrifice.” -Psalm 141:2 NIRV  In Isaiah the wrong attitude causes a stench.

 

Successful Communication and attitude has a taste and a smell to it. Your thoughts, the way you speak, how you view things in the moment… using all 5 senses in the moment causes it to be the greatest experience it could be, or just another dull meaningless passing if let it be that way.

 

Can you make this a sweet experience? or will it have a stench and leave a bad taste in your mouth?

 

Take time to savor the flavor of this moment.
