The Amish Way of Healing

What a terrible week for news, what a heartbreaking time for our nation. My husband and I were camping in the Texas panhandle, when we heard about the bombings in Boston. We were barely home when the explosion in West, Texas occurred. This sweet little town is not far from us. Add in ricin poisonings, bird flu, and the happenings in Korea, and I’m ready to move back to the panhandle where news is scarce!

Then I started thinking about the Amish way … certainly Amish communities have dealt with heartbreak, devastation, tragedy. So how do they do it?

1. They pray.
2. They trust.
3. They pull together.
4. They encourage one another.

We can do all those things, right? So let’s encourage one another. Leave a word of encouragement below and you’re entered. It can be your fav Bible verse, something you saw this week that made you smile, or even a kind word to someone. If you’d like your name entered twice, share on Facebook, twitter, or with someone you know by calling or emailing. Leave me another comment saying you shared.

I’ll choose a winner before next Saturday.

Blessings to you all,
