Amish Grace

Wow what an amazing movie. This movie is based on the Nickel Mines shooting which occurred October 2, 2006. The movie is fairly accurate and portrays the events that took place on October 2nd 2006. This is a very sad movie. It was also a very sad event. I would like to get this DVD for my own collection. It is worth the watch and worth the tears.
It is so sad to see how some people think today, and how some people can have lost such hope that they would dare to take some one else's life as well as their own.
Charles Roberts was upset about the death of his baby girl. she died shortly after she was born. Because of this Charles was angry at God. He took his anger at God and went to the Amish school and shot 10 little girls. He planed to do worse. He let all the boys leave. The teacher and one other little girl was able to escape. The other 10 girls where not. Five of the girls that were shot died.
The Amish community showed the Grace of God by going up to Mrs. Roberts and telling her they forgave Charles. That they did not harbor any anger towards her. Mrs. Roberts did not know what to do or say. She felt anger towards her husband. How could he do such a thing? That is not the man I married! She was confused and shocked.
The one mother, Ida, had a hard time forgiving Mrs. Roberts. She wanted nothing to do with her...But when she learns how her daughter handled the gun man Ida has a change of heart. Her little girls last words where saying that she would pray for the gun man. It takes the heart of a little child to show us how we should treat others. Sometimes we have to learn from them.
What an amazing movie. You will not be disappointed.
