It's a simple post about my blessing for the week. We have limited access to the Internet here where we're staying for the next two nights and no service on the iPhone. So this post will be short.
But I did want to record the fact that my blessing for the week will be on the simple side of life. The Amish people have chosen a lifestyle which does not include many of the things we see as essentials, and while it would seem their lack of telephones and electricity would make life harder, it instead causes them to focus on what is really important in life. I'm always reminded of that when we visit in Ohio, and it seems only natural that that reminder should be a part of my gratitude project. It is, after all, the underlying theme for the year.
We'll see what Friday brings...and whether there will be another post. It's on to home on Saturday.
What an appropriate blessing. I love Amish country and the feelings of serenity when I visit there.
