Speaking to friends last night, they invited me to a birthday party. They had invited their neighbours who they didn't know very well. Turns out, I know their neighbours too. I left and went to a BBQ at the park where I met our mutual friends/neighbours. I encouraged them to come to the birthday party.
Then over at the BBQ I see some people I met that morning at the community house. So I went over to say hello, and there I met a man that I saw at the same BBQ 12 months ago. I described him then as a man most like Jesus. I saw him down at the lake two weeks ago on one of those 40 degree days. He used me as shelter from a waterfight he was having with his kids. And here he was at the BBQ again.
Then at the birthday party tonight I see; my friends, our mutual friends/neighbours, the people I met at the community house, the man like Jesus at the BBQ. And a lady who said, "I know you, you gave a talk to our local network group." She turns out to be neighbours with the man like Jesus. She knew the birthday boy, because a group of people from the community house have a BBQ at the park every Friday night, and she'd been invited along too.
I've been invited along too. Because I met that first lot of friends who invited me to a birthday party. Or maybe having joined the community house, I would have ended up there eventually anyway.
Strange coincidence? Cosmic connection? Small town? Community?
I love it.
