Amish Tragedy

Amish families weep as they bury their Murdered daughters; those poor Innocent little girls torn from their lives and Sacrificed on an altar of self-pity by a suicidal man. Heavy hearted we watch these quiet people who Take nothing from us and ask for less, Readily forgive without question the man responsible. Asking not for vengeance or justice, but also Going to his wife and children in peace; Embracing them in the love of God and Demonstrating the true meaning of forgiveness. Yes, I believe they shame us.
