Have you heard on TV the expressions of forgiveness from those who suffered the loss of the young girls in the Amish community? How their gentle spirits have touched me! Praise God that His word is going out in the world, and forgiveness through Christ is being demonstrated.

The Amish people are remarkable people in many ways. Forgiveness is an earmark of their faith. I also find that that they live really morally clean lives. They are self sufficient. They have family values and believe in hard work and honesty. In our modern world where everything is so messed up, how refreshing it is to find true followers of Christ who practice what they preach!

i do no longer enroll in any faith yet understand and appreciate the ideals of others. i can work out the way it seems impossible to forgive contained in the circumstances defined, whether, i could desire to think of that we are able to all learn a lesson contained in the respect illustrated by potential of the Amish. in line with risk if all of us presented forgiveness for such crimes quite than seek for revenge we are able to all develop right into a sprint extra human and a sprint extra humane.

Regrettably no, I haven't yet. Haven't watched TV all day.
God bless them, and lift up the families of those who have lost loved ones and friends. Through their mercy, may the world see Christianity as a whole in an unbiased light.

Very touching indeed. I believe that God is using this to teach us to forgive - by their example. What a blessing!

It really amazes me and inspires me. The gal I heard acknowledges that there was pain and anger but always came back to forgiveness.

Yeah it's pretty impressive. I disagree with many of their beliefs and practices, but their ability to forgive is admirable.
