QUESTION OF THE DAY #29: What is your favorite dessert?

This seemed like such a simple question.  I remember loving banana splits.  Two slices of banana with ice cream in the middle, whip cream, and a cherry on top!  When I was quite young, my dad made them for us!  However, it's been years since I had one.  So, I made one the other day, and I love bananas and ice cream, but somehow mine didn't taste quite right.  I guess I'll have to go back to the old drawing board!

Speaking of changing tastes, here's another dessert story.  When I was little, I hated lemon meringue pie.  This is a shocking statement, because I'll literally eat anything.  I think that I had sampled some meringue and thought it would taste like Cool Whip, so I was a shocked.  I went for years without touching this dessert.  Then my family was invited over to a church member's house, back when we lived in Kansas.  She made lime meringue pie.  Not wanting to be rude, I ate it.  Whoa!!! That was the best.  Ever.  Needless to say, lemon meringue pie will never be a problem again at all!

Things don't always stay the same.  I think this is a good thing.  I think that God enables us to keep learning and changing our whole life long.  That thing that bothered you might be a blessing in disguise.  Try "coloring outside the lines" today!  Look at things a little differently!  Find a new favorite dessert!   Better yet, discover something wonderful about the mercies of God that are always new, always needed!

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23)

  1. Glad LMP is something you enjoy now! They must have made it just right then!

    Its interesting how are taste buds change over the years. I went years not liking cheese cake. One day I came across a LMP with cream cheese. I was apprehensive because I knew Cheese cake flavor wsnt something I had cared for. I tried it anyway and LOVED it. It was interesting. Then I decided to try cheese cake again and now its something I enjoy!!

    Mmm banana splits are yummy too. I haven't had one in years though. Your right though.... look at things differently, try something new. It makes life a little more interesting :))
