Welcoming New Members: An Amish Community's Journey Towards Harmony
The sun was setting over the rolling hills of Lancaster County, casting a warm orange glow over the Amish community. The air was filled with the sweet scent of freshly baked bread and the sound of laughter and chatter from the local farmers market.
Ava, a young Amish woman, sat on a bench outside her family's farmhouse, watching the activity around her with a contented smile. She was surrounded by her large family - parents, brothers, and sisters - all hard at work in the fields or tending to their animals. Ava's heart swelled with pride as she thought about how lucky she was to be a part of such a loving and close-knit community.
As she sat there, a buggy pulled up to the farmhouse, carrying one of the community's elders, Bishop Jacob. He climbed down from the buggy and greeted Ava with a warm smile. "Ah, Ava, how are you today?" he asked, his voice filled with concern.
"I am well, thank you, Bishop," Ava replied, rising from her seat to greet him.
The bishop nodded and looked around the farmhouse, taking in the sights and sounds of the Amish way of life. "I have called a meeting for all of the adults in the community tonight at the barn," he said, his voice serious. "We must discuss an important matter."
Ava's heart began to race with excitement as she realized that something big was happening in their small community. She quickly nodded and agreed to attend the meeting, eager to find out what it was about.
As the sun set over the hills, Ava and her family made their way to the barn, following a trail of lanterns lit by the other members of the community. Inside, they found the bishop and several other elders gathered around a large table.
"Greetings, everyone," Bishop Jacob said, his voice filled with warmth and respect. "Tonight, we gather to discuss a matter of great importance. As you know, our community has been facing challenges in recent months."
The bishop paused, letting the words sink in before continuing. "We have been approached by a group of outsiders who wish to join our community. They are kind and gentle people, but they are not Amish. We must decide whether or not to accept them into our fold."
Ava felt her heart race with excitement as she listened to the bishop's words. She had always been curious about the outside world, and the prospect of new members joining their community was both thrilling and daunting.
"What do you think, Ava?" Bishop Jacob asked, turning to her for her input.
Ava took a deep breath before speaking. "I believe that we should accept them into our community," she said firmly. "The Lord teaches us to love and welcome all people, no matter their background or beliefs."
The bishop nodded in agreement, and the other elders began to discuss the proposal in depth. Ava listened intently, her mind racing with questions and thoughts about what this could mean for their small community.
As the meeting drew to a close, Ava felt a sense of hope and excitement wash over her. She knew that this decision would change their lives forever, but she also knew that it was the right thing to do.
The Amish community welcomed the new members with open arms, and Ava watched as they became an integral part of their daily lives. As she worked alongside them in the fields and barns, she felt a sense of connection and belonging that she had never experienced before.
And as she looked around at her fellow Amish, she knew that this was where she belonged - in this tight-knit community of loving and kind people, living and working together in harmony with the Lord.
