You Never Know Where You Will Find Connection

Our lovely volunteer coordinator, Stacye, told me a fantastic story recently.

She had just met the owners of the home across the street from hers,

which had formerly been owned by a Magdalene employee.

She then became friends with them on Facebook

(as only a friendly neighbor would do)

and while looking through their pics, saw this lovely photograph

of the hot air balloon that they were married in

casting a shadow on thistles.

"Did they know about the connection of thistles and you?" I asked?

No, just a complete coincidence.

Or perhaps, it was more than a coincidence....
