quote from the “Living Together” post – “An interesting paradox exists today. In a recent documentary, Happy, the filmmakers identify elements that contribute to human happiness, drawing from cultures all over the world. A sense of community ranked in the top five, along with other interesting characteristics not foreign to genuine expressions of Christianity. While humans crave this, our culture has all but lost it. Substitutes for real community, such as social networking, do attempt to fill a need – yet don’t require much in the way of the hard work that goes into living in close community. We can turn it off – shut it out – hide the bits we don’t like.”

Generational Blessings
Read this today - Generational Blessings (http://notquiteamishliving.com/2013/04/generational-blessings/).
I love the family culture of a multi-generational home life.
“Whenever I visit an Amish family, I’m taken with the generational living arrangements. At one home, the mother and father and children still living at home have the big house and one of the married sons and his young family live in the dawdi haus (grandfather house). At another, an older daughter and her family live in a house on the same property. And at another home, the elderly grandmother and grandfather live in the attached dawdi haus.” (quote from posted blog)
