Pineapples | The Symbolism and Why They are Special to Me

October 9, 2020 · Southern Living

Pineapples have held a special place in my heart for many years now and most people don’t know the reason behind it. I know they have become a fad over the past year or two. I see pineapple everything in the stores!

My love for them started way back in 2010 when I took my first trip to Hawaii with my sister Chrissy. We toured a pineapple plantation, and you almost always get pineapple with every meal while you are there. It is SO good because it is so fresh! I got my first silver pineapple necklace while we were there. This trip holds a special place in my heart because my sister, Chrissy passed away 2-years ago unexpectedly. Ever since that trip, I have had a special place in my heart for pineapples and even more now.

Southern Meaning

The pineapple is a symbol of hospitality in the south. They are considered an expression of “Welcome.” When you have them in your home, they signal friendship, hospitality, and warmth. What is not to love about that! I have several pineapples scattered throughout our home. I am not a knick-knack person, so I don’t keep lots of them everywhere in our house, but I do have quite a few strategically placed throughout. My step-daughters were visiting recently, and they tried to count them, and I don’t remember what they got up to! Lol! Below are a few examples of my pineapples that I have incorporated into our home. I will link them also in case you would like to check them out!

Charleston has a beautiful Pineapple Fountain on the waterfront. If you ever come to visit, it is a must-see! That is the fountain that is on my main page; I just love it! The city has many pineapples placed throughout, everywhere you look! I guess it makes sense how I ended up here. Charleston prides itself on its southern charm and hospitality, and the pineapple is a sign of this.

Pineapple and Hawaii

My husband and I got married in Maui, and my love for Hawaii and pineapples continued after that. We toured another pineapple plantation while we were there. The pineapple is an amazing fruit! Did you know that it takes YEARS for one pineapple to grow? Pineapples are not native to Hawaii, and their origin is South America. They were started to be grown in the 1900s in Hawaii and have been ever since. The climate is perfect for them.

Pineapples are not a pine nor an apple; it is a fruit consisting of many berries. It is considered a berry. Can you believe that?!

My husband and I brought back pineapples from our last trip to Hawaii and have been growing a pineapple ever since. We just started the process to help it flower. We might have an edible pineapple in about another year! I will link how to grow a pineapple at home here. https://www.wikihow.com/Grow-a-Pineapple Anyone can do it, and it is pretty neat! We kept the crown of our pineapple we brought back from Hawaii and have been growing it ever since!

It's difficult sometimes when someone hurts us. We sometimes wonder why God "isn't doing anything" about the bad things in the world, or the bad people in our lives. 
But it isn't up to us. We only need to worry about ourselves. He sees it all, the good and the bad. And sometimes we only see a small part of what is really going on in someone's life. It is easy to make a judgment. It is difficult to ๐Ÿ‘‡
Give it to God ๐Ÿค

There are a lot of benefits to having a dog, besides unconditional love. ๐Ÿค Studies have shown that just petting a dog can:
โ€ข Lower your blood pressure
โ€ข Lower heart rate
โ€ข Slows breathing
โ€ข Relaxes muscle tension
I think Theo has been doing a good job of all of the above! I won't even get into what he does when I have a migraine. ๐Ÿคฏ Dogs are amazing. ๐Ÿค
Do you have a dog? Do you agree with what these studies have shown?

It took me a while to find some barstools that I liked. I didnโ€™t want your classic ones. I wanted a coastal feel to them. I also didnโ€™t want to spend an arm & a leg for them! Can you believe how expensive bar stools have gotten?! ๐Ÿซฃ

Our body is made up of about 50-70% water. So, staying hydrated is important! Experts recommend that you drink half your body weight in ounces. 
I was gifted this great water bottle to help me remember to drink my water from @venturepal_usa. It has such cute reminders on it to help keep you motivated throughout the day! They also come in different sizes and colors. 
How much water do you drink every day? I need to drink more so hopefully this will help! ๐Ÿค

The world around us can get stressful. We have become a society of being "honest" to the extent that it doesn't matter if it's true but it's that person's opinion. Opinions have become facts. I don't know about you, but a lot of this causes me anxiety. 
Do you struggle with anxiety? If not, you are lucky. But if you do all is not lost. The Bible talks about anxiety and worry. God doesnโ€™t want us to be anxious, He wants us to come to Him for help. Remember, you are never alone!

This has been a rough week for a lot of us on many levels. What makes evil happy? Tearing each other apart, dividing, and breaking down. How do we overcome evil? With good. 
Be good. Be kind. Don't participate in the unkindness and negativity. And above all else, pray. ๐Ÿค
