The Story
by Peter K Bullock, MDiv ,
MS
It’s about a journey taken, stars followed, sudden surprises
and inexplicable events. It’s about
crowded places, political pressure, ignorance and superstition. It’s about the wise and the foolish, the poor
and the privileged. It’s about dreams
and inner voices. It’s about hopes and
longings and promises.
Its form is ordinary, its substance is profound. In the end, it’s about a man, a woman and a child;
a very human experience filled with the desire that presses us inexorably
toward the divine mystery. Perhaps the
story is our story – yours, mine and ours. Perhaps it’s about us and our journey; the
story that contains our deepest longings and our hidden hopes. For surely it’s a story like ours; the
ordinary, the confused, the fearful, the unexpected sustained by the thread of
grace, gratitude, wonder and hope.
May your story
contain all the elements of any great story:
One that is encouraged
by hope, refined with joy,
Strengthened by love
and wrapped in meaning.
And finally, may your
story be one that moves
Unerringly toward . .
.
Peace
