May 15 is the International Day of Families. One of the Amish 4 core values is Family value. Here is what they believe:

The family that works together, eats together, and prays together, stays together. – Amish Proverb

Meet the McCallums, one of Australia's few Amish families

Ever wanted to not just slow down, but jump off the grid? A family leaves behind the trappings of the 21st century to lead a simple, pious life in rural Tasmania.

Family is the heart of the community and is a very important social unit in the Amish culture. Amish place great value on time spent together as a family and their connection with each other. They run family businesses together, eat meals together, attend church services, barn-raisings, and other community events together. It’s not unusual for an Amish family to have seven to ten children. You’ll often see young children helping at market stands, picking corn, or tending to animals. Amish families approach life as a unit and children learn a strong work ethic from the very beginning.

The dedication to family continues with older family members. Wisdom from older Amish is valued by the young and often multiple generations live together to either help care for aging family members and/or help with the rearing of children. These large multi-generational family units contribute to the strength and growth of the extended family and ultimately to their community.

The truth is even the other Anabaptist groups like the Beachy Amish-Mennonites, Mennonites and Hutterites all follow the Four core values of the Amish, that is why they have large families, with an average of four children each. I will post more than ten photo quotes of family values.

A mother is a gardener of God, tending to the hearts of her children ~ Amish Proverb

Parents should watch for opportunities to offer genuine, well deserved praise to children – James Dobson

Every day goes by without spiritual training for our children is a day that can never be recaptured. – James Dobson

What is the biggest obstacle facing the family right now? It is over-commitment; time pressure. There is nothing that will destroy family life more insidiously than hectic schedules and busy lives, where spouses are too exhausted to communicate, too worn out to have sex, too fatigued to talk to the kids. That frantic lifestyle is just as destructive as one involving outbroken sin. If Satan can't make you sin, he'll make you busy, and that's just about the same thing. - James Dobson

There is nothing more important than parents passing on a generational legacy of faith and values to their children. - James Dobson

“Buying a chunk of land, building a home, and raising our children away from the noise. That is the goal.”

If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world. - J. R. R. Tolkien

[PHOTO SOURCE: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/295379]

Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband. The love between husband and wife is the real key to a thriving family. A healthy home environment cannot be built exclusively on the parents' love for their children. The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children. [John F. MacArthur (2006). “Twelve Extraordinary Women Workbook”, p.70, Thomas Nelson Inc] - John F. MacArthur

Every child is a thought in the mind of God, and our task is to recognize this thought and help it toward completion.

In a word, live together in the forgiveness of your sins, for without it no human fellowship, least of all a marriage, can survive. Don't insist on your rights, don't blame each other, don't judge or condemn each other, don't find fault with each other, but accept each other as you are, and forgive each other every day from the bottom of your hearts. - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

SCOTTSDALE AMISH LINKS:

UHD Amish Sunday School Springfield

On a magnificent day in late Summer, the re location of the old Springfield Sunday School by the McCallum Amish family and friends was particularly moving. The old building was in danger of oblivion but now this enterprising family are going to restore it its former glory and use it as a place of peace, harmony and enjoyment.The interior still has the original blackwood timbers that were used in its construction in 1894.The music I selected for this video clip comes from the movie "Witness" which featured an Amish family in the USA in the 1980's. The most moving part of the music is the track "Building the Barn" which was the background to scenes of Amish families coming together to erect a barn for one of the group

UHD Amish Sunday School Springfield Part 2

Part 2 of the evolution of the old Springfield Sunday School. This building has had an interesting history having been moved three times. Built in 1894 on land near the present Springfield store it was moved in 1923 to land owned by George Gofton. Then in 2020 it was moved by the McCallum family to its present location near the Springfield Hall.

Part 1 of the moving can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/460251911060177/videos/799099047265399

Its great to see the building being restored to its former glory by the Amish McCallum family and friends. The working bee was interrupted by a cold southerly squall just after a practice musical presentation by the family.

In the future, Part 3 will see the building completely restored and a musical presentation, keep watching this space.

Day 1 Moving Sunday School

Mar 1, 2023

This the detailed video of day 1 of moving the St Marks Sunday School from Bridport to Springfield. This building was used for a multitude of purposes, line and tap dancing, girl guides, cubs, brownies and a school library as well as a Sunday School. It was impressive to watch a team of professionals navigate the tight spaces to set up their gear and move the building without doing any damage. Part 2 will show how it travelled by road through Scottsdale, up Saliers Hill to its new home on the Amish family farm at Springfield.

The Black Forest house (German: Schwarzwaldhaus) is a byre-dwelling that is found mainly in the central and southern parts of the Black Forest in southwestern Germany. It is characterised externally by a long hipped or half-hipped roof that descends to the height of the ground floor. This type of dwelling is suited to the conditions of the Black Forest: hillside locations, broad tracks, high levels of snowfall and heavy wind loading. Individual farms, such as the Hierahof near Kappel, which are still worked today, are over 400 years old. The Black Forest house is described by Dickinson as very characteristic of the Swabian farmstead type.

Day 2 Sunday School Move

Mar 2, 2023

This is the second day of the St Marks Sunday School moved to the McCallums Amish farm at Springfield. There was quite a crowd at Saliers Hill waiting to see the wide load negotiate the narrow avenue between the trees.
