A beautiful connection

Today I witnessed the power of connection.  There is a young teen in our parish who I have been talking to about a variety of things, a variety of emotions.    We got together today to talk.   Now I’m a mom and I deal with the emotions as a mom.   I don’t feel in a counseling position as I can give advise or guide.   I simply talk and act like mom.   

Today one of our older teens was around and I asked her to join us.   Talk about God putting two people together.  Each are the oldest with many younger siblings.   Each has a grandfather they don’t really know dying.   Each have or are embarking on a completely new high school adventure.    The connections or as said the parallels were amazing.   At one point in the conversation I was lost.   I have spoken to each of these girls about life and what they deal with.   Yet at one point I felt like the Twilight Zone.   Didn’t girl A tell me the same thing as girl B.  

Regardless a connection was made.   The older girl, Girl A told me before she left that at times she has felt trapped.   She told girl B she was there for her and to never feel she was trapped and they would go for coffee or meet under the tree and talk.   

Once again, I marvel at the power of God.  I am once again grateful to be a conduit for his work.    I loved watching the connection form today.   Once again I feel blessed to witness the awesomeness of God.
