We watched a movie called Amish Grace, based on the true story of a man in Oct 2006 who shot 10 Amish girls at an Amish school. I remember the event but especially remember how the Amish support the killers family. I just read today of how the Amish sent a delegation the same day to the killers family to comfort them in their loss of a father and husband. Wow.
What's interesting is that we watched the movie on the weekend of the 4th anniversary of the attack. I had received the movie a week earlier as a birthday present, but to watch it on the anniversary is an amazing thing.
God is an awesome merciful God and showed that through the Amish and their reaction to what many deem as an unforgivable act, yet they forgave.
