Friday Faves - Fruit

Blogamama has their Friday Faves, and since I'm listed under their site, I suppose I should join in on the fun. So, here goes:

"OK - let’s talk about something HEALTHY - What is your favorite fruit?"

This is an easy one since I absolutely love fruits. I have several favorites...bananas, strawberries, kiwi's, guavas, grapes and oranges. There are also a few that I actually don't like as well...Mangoes (I'm highly allergic to them!!), papaya, and cranberry (except for when it's in juice form).

Just for fun, have you ever heard of some of these? I never knew there were so many out there...crowberry, buffaloberry, saguaro, rowan, loquat, chokecherry, lapsi, sea buckthorn, sageretia, and durian (which is supposed to give off such an offensive odor, that it is not allowed in most public places in Asian countries!!)

God really created some interesting fruits! The best kind to have though, has to be: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control!!

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Galatians 5:22-25

Ooohhh - I like kiwi too. I have seen and experienced durian - I do not care for it too much - it smells awful but I guess it's a delicacy in some places.
