I love bananas! They are probably my favorite fruit. Bananas are grown in over 107 countries. Bananas can be yellow, green and even red. Both the skin and inner part can be eaten raw or cooked. Bananas are a valuable source of vitamin B6, Vitamin C and potassium. Bananas may also be cut and dried and eaten as a type of chip. Dried bananas are also ground into banana flour. And of course one of my favorite breads is made by using bananas that have just about gone bad and that is banana nut bread. And how can we talk of bananas without saying anything about a summer favorite, banana splits! oooooh! Sweet mamajama!
When you get a leg cramp, eat a banana! Need some Vitamin C? Eat a banana. How about some B6 to make your dreams more vivid and memorable? Or to cut the risk of Parkinson's disease in half? B6 in high doses in combination with magnesium can alleviate the symptoms of autism!
Ok, we get it! Eat a banana because it's good for you right? Of course right!
But there's more to it than that. If God put that much thought, purpose and usefulness in one simple fruit just imagine what he has instilled inside of you! Imagine what plans God has for you.
Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
Go ahead. You know you want to. It's okay. Have a banana, maybe two!

I've learned so much about bananas! Just as God packed bananas full of vitamins and nutrients, I'm sure He did the same to every other fruit and vegetable He created. You know my husband is absolutely crazy over fruits. He eats fruits every single day. He even eats dried fruits too. You won't believe what his favorite dessert is...banana splits! I was going to diet and just drink whey protein shakes today. That was UNTIL I saw that big, cold, deliciously creamy banana split on the e-devo front page. Hey, Sonic just came out with a banana split blast. That sounds good doesn't it? In all seriousness, I need to be more like my husband and enjoy more of the delicious fruits and vegetables God created.
Yesterday in bible study someone mentioned that after hearing Pastor preach about creation and how much thought God put into preparing everything to sustain human life before human life was even created yet, made her stop and think about how special we all are to Him. I too, am now kind of stopping and realizing that if God put so much thought into bananas...What awesome plans He must have for ME!
Hey Dad, does this mean we get banana splits!
I thought you made your dad bananas.
