I'm much more of an introvert. I like people but being around them drains me. Because of the differences in our personalities Mom remembers people and how they connect to each other. She can meet someone and learn that they know her sister's best friend's daughter because they went to college together at the same school where... well you get it. She makes connections with people in ways that typically make my head spin.
I meet people and think how nice they are but it takes me quite a while to get to know them before I may or may not discover connections they have to other people I know. Most of the time the connections just make me smile. Sometimes they give me reassurance that God put them in my life for a reason.
The other day I was at church and through talking to someone I discovered that he knew my aunt and uncle and his wife worked for friends of theirs that I've also met before. Through learning that his wife teasingly told me that I must be at the right church because of the connection.
After discovering that surprising connection it got me thinking about how God weaves our lives together. His family is massive, every believer all over the world is part of the Lord's family and because of that, no matter where we go, we can find family. Even if they're not with us in person we have a massive family standing behind us, praying for us, supporting us.
That's the connections that God weaves together to give His children support on earth. Amazing isn't it?
