You may have heard the term thin places- it's a Celtic idea which suggests that we can experience both heaven and earth at the same time. Usually it's a reference to a specific, inspiring location, such as the island of Iona in Scotland or Croagh Patrick in western Ireland. In these places the barrier between earth and heaven seems to collapse.
I feel that I'm in a different sort of thin place this week, waiting for the birth of our new grandson on Friday. Time is moving slowly and I am ever so aware that our lives are about to be changed as new life enters the world. Both earth and heaven, yes.
