A Simple Amish Christmas
“Adam, Rebekah, and Charity stayed home from work. Reba stayed home from school.
And Annie was not able to check on Sharon Smucker.
Monday night, a west wind blew the storm away from them toward New Jersey and out to the Atlantic. Annie found herself staring up into the same constellations she’d gazed at as a child, feeling every bit as lost in many ways, but trying to trust, seeking the peace she and Samuel had spoken of.
Tuesday, everyone bundled up and resumed their normal activities. Annie c...ompleted the housework in the morning, then fixed a late morning snack for David and her dat as she always did. They came in talking of spring and crops and warmer days that had no hope of arriving for quite some time.

It had also kept her out of the barn, kept her from checking on him.MoreLess
