If you admire their unselfishness — put others first.
If you admire their honesty — be honest.
If you admire their willingness to help those in need — help the needy.

  1. I too, love many of the qualities of the Amish. However, I love the assurance of Salvation and air conditioning in Ms. summers too.LOL

  2. You and me both Mrs Trixi!

    I found this on another blog, she found it on a calendar...it makes sense to me. I've always admired the sense of strong family ties and communities they live out, but there are many other cultures that do the same.

    I'm a do-er kind of person. Of course, I tend to always be watching the other side of the fence, too. If they can do, I certainly don't see why we can't -- with that wonderful assurance of Salvation (and that air conditioning!)
