So, Saturday got the better of me... I wish I could say it was a crazy busy day, but it wasn't all that busy. We went grocery shopping, which always takes longer than I'd like. And while we were out I texted a friend who is like a brother about making him some fried plantains next weekend if he was free. Well, he surprised me by inviting himself and his roomie over as they were craving them like crazy and had already been trying to find a way to make some. So we quickly finished our shopping, adding a couple extra burgers to our cart, and raced home to tidy up before Frank arrived. It was late by the time we got home, but even later, like around 10:15-10:30 when he finally got there. I had begun to fry some plantains I bought, but I was so glad when he brought some of his own as I had no idea what to look for and bought green plantains! His were pleasantly yellow. And he, thankfully, took over the frying for me too! By the time we finished watching "Despicable Me" and they were heading home, they had bellies full of burgers and fries and a tupperware full of plantains for their dorm. And, though it added a little stress to my evening as hosting guests always does, I truly enjoyed the opportunity to be a sister to my friend! It was also great to get a dose of brotherly love in return! That's all I have to leave with today - it is such a privilege to get to love God's people, His creation! Just a reminder that the palace He's building is not just for Him, but for every kind of guest that needs love.
