Simple Wisdom...

i've been reading a book

by suzanne woods fisher recently.

the name of the book is

"amish peace".

the cover invites you

with the statement 

"simple wisdom for a complicated world"

apparently

many people come to the amish and ask

"how can i become amish?"

they are stressed by their lifestyles

and the pressure of life.

in the introduction of the book,

"uncle amos" says...

become amish?

"if you admire our faith, strengthen yours.

if you admire our sense of committment, deepen yours.

if you admire our community spirit, build your own.

if you admire the simple life, cut back.

if you admire deep character and enduring values, live them yourself"

wise advice uncle amos!

here is a tip to get you going...

Jesus is the Prince of Peace

follow Him and all of those things will be yours

because He is the centre of

the amish way of life.

it was an interesting read.

i love a good book

and it's been very good weather

lately,

to curl up somewhere comfy and read.
