Have you ever had a moment when you were struck by the glory of our God in a weird way? Today I was eating a banana. As I bit into the slightly crunchy banana (the only way to eat them FYI) and the delicious banana flavor brought up so many memories of childhood banana pudding with those little round cookies in it. I finished the bite and just say in amazement at a God who would allow me to eat so many different and all delicious fruits. I can have this banana for breakfast and enjoy its sweet memories. I can eat my favorite fruit (pineapple) for lunch if I desire and enjoy the sweet acidic taste. I have oranges in my fridge too and can enjoy the taste of Florida and the reminder of our trip to see my sister-in-law and the stop at the welcome center for fresh Florida orange juice. I can look forward to the taste of strawberries this summer and eating them with shortcake and milk! I can even include the juicy tomato - on a burger or just poppable little grape tomatoes. And don't get me started on the exotic fruits that I can still get here in Michigan in winter.
I have all of these options to please my palate and of course I can thank my local grocer for that but even deeper, I am reminded of Eden before the fall. God created us a world so that we could enjoy it and enjoy the life we get to live for the glory of God in it. Sometimes we can adult too much and get caught up in worry and anxiety. Today, while eating a banana, (which I used to inexplicably call ba-mon-i as an toddler) I was reminded of the glory of God and His goodness to us!
