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;
ReplyDelete----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.
