We all need some physical and spiritual help sometimes here are some ideas that maybe helpful to someone. It's doesn't matter about one's beliefs, sometimes these are just good ideas.

The mind is the master organ. Hope, love, peace, and forgiveness are the springboards of good health; while hate, low self-esteem, and other negative emotion can cripple even the otherwise healthiest of individuals. The Amish (from what I've learned), have some tried and proven methods for dealing with emotional illness that can cause physical  illness.

Love: God is love (1 John 4:7), and love is what heals all.

Adversity: With a solid community of like-minded individuals, the Amish do not have insurance, because they have support network of friends and  family to care for them during trouble times. Interesting enough, scientists have found that the greatest risk factor toward heart disease is loneliness.

Alms: Give away a portion of your wealth without boasting and you will be amply rewarded (Matthew 6:3-4).

Anger: A soft answer turns away wrath (Proverbs 15:1). Don't let the sun go down on your anger (Ephesians 4:26). Settle quarrels quickly. Resentment will eat a person up like cancer. Forgive others so that you will be forgiven (Matthew 6:14-15).

Blessings: Count your blessings. Consider the generosity of the sun, wind, rain, and earth.

Curses: Overcome evil with good by blessing those that curse you. If your enemy is hungry, feed him and melt his fury with gentleness (Romans 12:20).  Cursing and swearing are sure signs of poor vocabulary. Even Christ forbid his followers from swearing (Matthew 5:33-37).

Conscience: "There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience." - French Proverb.

Contentment: He that is content has enough.  The greatest wealth is to live content with little, for there is never want where the mind is satisfied.

Death: The Amish have simple unpretentious funerals, which manifest their philosophy: "Show me love while I am living, instead of trying to convince the undertaker."

Depression: Everyone will at some time face the feeling of depression and defeat. The best prescription for depression is to count your blessings.

Envy: A person who is content with their lifestyle is not easily moved by high pressure advertising about what you need to buy in order to feel fulfilled. It is not so much what you eat that makes you sick, but what is eating you because of what you are looking at and wanting.

Family: Close-knit families are the rule, instead of the generation gap and disrespect of elders.

Fear: There is no fear in love, but perfect love cast out fear (1 John 4:18).

Happiness: Happiness is the healthy outlook on life. If you cannot change your circumstances. Happiness is found by avoiding pride, anger, malice, lust, greed, fashion, and vanity.

Humor: Laughing exercises the lungs, heart, and adrenal glands while simulating the mind to produce "endorphins", which gives us both pleasure and good health. Laughter relieves tension and fear.

Modesty: Outward plainness allows inward beauty to develop, otherwise ones acts a part with cosmetics and costumes. "Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sign of God of great price (1 Peter 3:3-4).

Simplicity: Do not become a slave to machines, materialism, and greed. Avoid outside clutter and baubles, so that a person can concentrate more on the true meaning of life, which is to praise God, develop his or her own talents, help others, and to rejoice in being.

Thanksgiving: It is hard to find a thankful person who is also unhappy. Replace criticism, complaining, and accusations with praise, thanksgiving, and encouragement.

Work ethic: Parents want their children to be hard worker, producing useful fruits of labor, instead of idols trying to live by their wits while lofting. Industrious children become industrious adults.

My Views:

Religious view: Christianity IS a relationship with the LORD, but it's also a FAITH, in which we follow the morals and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ that are in the Holy Bible which we MUST live by (Matt. 7:24-27; John 14:15).

Political view: Politics are for the weak minded and black hearted. Therefore I have no interest in the affairs or words of corrupt politicians or political parties.


Faith and Reason:

Faith + No reason = Fanaticism

Reason + No faith = Paganism

Faith + Reason = Check and balance

Mood: Disbelief ~Ferns-And-Thorns Apr 14, 2012  New member Hobbyist Digital Artist
I am very insulted about your views on gay/lesbian marraige and get-together.

I adopted three lovely daughers as I am infertile. I can not have babies due to a viral attack when I was young. I married a woman when I was eighteen, but her parents forced her to divorce me. We still are girlfriends and she Helps me take care of my three daughters. Once of which I adopted two years ago, and she is thirteen now.

It is sickly how I, a Baptist woman, am not shunned in my church only, but in society as a whole. Is it that wrong for two women to elope?

I understand people have views, but seriously, people like you take things way too far. What about you, if you had your testicles, which create your testes, which in turn form into sperm, if you had those cut off, would you be able to function in a normal family?

My mother, my BIOLOGICAL mother, was banned from church. She left me in shoprite when i was but a baby. Do you think she should have contiued to be a mother? A family is defined by a child and a mother or father. You don't need two parents, likewise, you don't need two genders.

One is enough to raise a family. One is enough to raise a life. One is enough to become part of an abandoned childs life.

I woke up in the morning and saw a bird, it smiled and said: The world is anew! Rejoice!

I stared and said: I am an atheist.

The bird grinned and said: So you think you are, ey?

The next day I adopted two young girls and a older girl. How I rejoiced!
