Amish Tragedy

Very few of us will ever share grief as publicly, or reverently, as the Amish community is now doing. Their demonstration of peace and forgiveness glorifies God and is a tremendous example to the world. “All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.” (2 Cor 4:15 NIV) Within this tragedy, my faith is refreshed and strengthened.

Gail;
----I can see two distinct diferences in the Amish way of life that leads to such a Godly response: 1) total respect and honor for the traditional views learned by their parents and grand parents, 2) sober obedience to the Word of God. We could benefit from their influence.
