Tonight I had the strangest experience - I sat through a pupil's concert which was finished by the 16 year old girl who had sat through so many of my own pupil concerts when she was a little girl when I was at (a completely different) school with her sister. I guess I shouldn't be surprised really - my family appears to have a penchant for finding connections in strange places: my parents used to camp with the parents of my brother's first girlfriend...the grandparents of the kids I babysat for at uni knew my parents when they were at uni...I went to junior school with my prayer partner's little sister...my mum and dad knew my old School Nurse when they were all young marrieds in Bristol...my great-grandfathers used to be travelling preachers together a good forty years before my parents even met...even The Drummer and I have a history - he was an Inter at my first ever Campaigners Parade as an Eagle (holler if you even have a blue clue what I'm talking about here!) (If you don't, he was like 11 and I was 4 and very cute with little blonde curls and we probably didn't even see each other)
Everytime I hear stories like this, it makes me think of the quote
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.
Hebrews 13v2
angels unawares.
Hebrews 13v2
You never know when someone you come in contact with in your present will become a part of your future in a way you could never imagine...keep an eye out, just incase.
Love, etc.

This is really cute. :)
I really like this post. I love finding random links between people I know. It's exciting. It really is a small world - especially the Christian one! Ha ha.
