A Fruit morning-Monday week two.

Got to go running this morning! Praise the Lord for the beauty creation of plants. Remember how I found a starfruit tree? Well one of our friends loves exploring and notices the different trees. There are many starfruit, there are coconut, banana, many papaya, and JACKFRUIT trees! So cool (KP)! Papayas are so strange; they grow from the top trunks of the trees. It makes me wonder, how do such heavy things stay on the tree when their stem is connected to the tree. One thing is for sure, it works because they grow to be pretty big. Stay connected to the trunk of the tree.

Another cool thing about me and Papaya? I used to feel nausea from eating papaya, I loved the juice that my abuelita (grandma) and aunts would make, but no matter how much I tried to eat it, I think the smell got to me. So here when my friends were eating it, I tried it and Praise GOD!! No rolling stomach! Even cooler. If you think about it, it is how we are some times. We can not handle the intensity of good things that Dad gives us, but later when we step out and trust to take the first bite, we are surprised with an amazing new adventure. Things change, that way we are given the blessing of a reminder- do not put your hope in things--they will change.

"The grass withers and the flowers fall,

but the word of our God endures forever."
