Storebought air fresheners may contain formaldehyde and benzene (a carcinogen), which are both toxic to humans. In fact, the EPA estimates that indoor air is 25 times more polluted than outdoor, in part because of the use of cleaning products like air fresheners. Keep these toxins out of your house by making these allnatural alternatives. 1 For an easy air freshener, combine a few drops of vanilla, almond or other extract with a cup of water, and spritz the mixture in the air with a spray bottle. 2 Simmer white vinegar on low in a small saucepan on the stove for 3045 minutes. As it evaporates, it will help dissipate other smells. This is a good option for particularly strong smells.
3 Don’t throw away your citrus zest. Simmer it in water with a teaspoon of cinnamon, and the aroma will spread throughout your house.
4 To tackle smells in your garbage can, sprinkle baking soda under your trash bag.
5 Before you vacuum, squeeze a fresh lemon or lime into your vacuum bag. This will freshen both the bag and the carpet. 6 Mix one ounce of cinnamon sticks with one can whole cloves and one can allspice in a Ziploc bag. Take one teaspoon of the mixture and mix it with one cup of water on the stove. Let the mixture simmer for a spicy potpourri.

When a roadconstruction foreman was killed in an accident, the love of this man for his family, coworkers, and community resulted in an overwhelming sense of loss. His country church couldn’t accommodate all the mourners, so planners moved the service to a much larger building. Friends and family packed the auditorium! The message was clear: Tim touched many lives in a way uniquely his. So many would miss his kindness, sense of humor, and enthusiasm for life. As I returned from the funeral, I thought about the life of King Jehoram. What a contrast! His brief reign of terror is traced in 2 Chronicles 21. To solidify his power, Jehoram killed his own brothers and other leaders (v. 4). Then he led Judah into idol worship. The record tells us, “He passed away, to no one’s regret” (v. 20). Jehoram thought that brute force would ensure his legacy. It did. He is forever commemorated in Scripture as an evil man and a self centered leader. Life isn't just about ourselves. It's about Jesus. Although Jesus also was a king, He came to Earth to be a servant. As He went about doing good, He endured the hatred of those who grasped for power. In the process, this ServantKing gave His life away. Today, Jesus lives along with His legacy. That legacy includes those who understand that life isn’t just about themselves. It’s about Jesus—the One who longs to wrap His strong, forgiving arms around anyone who turns to Him. Lord, in Your death as well as in Your life, You did the will of Your Father and served others. In some small way, help us to serve others with our lives today.
