I grew up in Amish country (one county north of Lancaster, Berks County).
You'll have a VERY hard time finding finer people: hard-working, honest, sweet: they restore your faith in humanity. . .

Do you think I'll get in trouble if I bump this? Well I don't care! I'm bumping this and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me! Living life on the edge...that's me.

Thanks for the ping, Justa, although you should have given me a tissue alert.
Thank you joanie, for this beautiful tribute and for all you have done.
And the Amish know that we humans do not always comprehend the reasons behind such seemingly senseless tragedies. But they will turn to the Lord for answers, and for the strength and comfort that only He can provide them now.
"But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,Luke 6:27
"And if you love those who love you, what credit is [that] to you? For even sinners love those who love them.Luke 6:32
"But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil [men.]Luke 6:35
I believe this is the hardest of all commandments, and we can learn a lot from the Amish. God Bless them for the Christian example they show the world!

Joanie, Thank you for posting this. - The "counsellors" from outside probably don't know it, but they will most likely find out pretty quickly that they could learn a thing or two from the Amish.

...even in their own tragedy, to reach out to the family of the man who slew their daughters. Powerful witness bump.

I should have checked in here earlier in the week. I have been very troubled about what happened in Lancaster, and I should have known that you would write the ultimate tribute to those young Amish girls and their families. Thank you for saying what so many of us have been trying to say.

Thanks joanie-f
I am sending a separate check for each family to the school for as I read it, they would like the funds to go to the school.
