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!
