In an earlier post, I reflected on the leadership the Amish community is demonstrating for us all in the wake of the murder of their children in Pennsylvania.
Today, this from CNN.
GEORGETOWN, Pennsylvania (AP) -- Dozens of Amish neighbors gathered Saturday to mourn the quiet milkman who killed five of their young girls and wounded five more in a brief, unfathomable rampage.
About half of perhaps 75 mourners on hand were Amish.
"It's the love, the forgiveness, the heartfelt forgiveness they have toward the family. I broke down and cried seeing it displayed," said Bruce Porter, a fire department chaplain from Morrison, Colorado, who had come to Pennsylvania to offer what help he could and attend the burial. He said Marie Roberts was also touched. "She was absolutely deeply moved, by just the love shown," Porter said.
The Amish continue to show us all the meaning of Christian love and forgiveness- the truest kind which is given at the most difficult times.
