The story...
I/m so thankful that I read the quote from Peter Marshall - it was simple, wise, and seems true according to my own life experiences. His quote makes me smile today. So, I investigated who this Peter was. His story was a surprising story of doing, being, trusting, walking by faith, and engaging in life. His was a good story yet not exceptionally long.
I purchased his life story, "A Man Called Peter," that was written lovingly by his wife, Catherine Marshall, in 1951. It's been a joyful life story to read, chunk by chunk, savoring it and not wanting it to end. I'm taking my time with it - the book lays next to my bed.
The only church in town will have wonderfully unique and interesting people congregating together. There you can live out your gift of life together - in community. It will be a story that you can enjoy chunk by chunk - not wanting it to end yet knowing that it will according to God's will. There you can imagine more clearly the life that Peter Marshall is now living in Christ - I can only imagine. His story won't end because his life is hidden in Christ.
Just for today...
