i read this as a quote in my bible study lesson this morning, so unfortunately i don't know exactly where it came from, but it struck me as utterly profound.
"Have you ever experienced an epiphany--a moment when God unexpectedly and unforgettably invaded the monotony of your life? ... The Celtic Christians referred to these kinds of moments--moments when heaven and earth seem to touch--as thin places. Natural and supernatural worlds collide." (Batterson)
thanking God today for eyes to see His hand even in the mundane. seeing that even as shea played, startled, in the dust mote, hands trying to grasp dancing particles, even so is our father bathing us in his grace, in an ordinary shaft of light, in the thin places of faith and obedience, of dust and light.

Loved the quote you shared, and the paragraph you wrote - about God bathing us in His grace - even more powerful to me!

Oh, I love that description of those moments. "Thin places." I'll remember that. I was just thinking about you today and wondering how you were doing. Well, I hope : )
I, too, like that description--thin places. Gives me something to look for.
i love this idea of dust and light... your writing lately has been stunning friend.
"eyes to see His hand even in the mundane" . . praying for this, these "thin" moments, as life is feeling so thick right now. Thanks, Misty.
