The Healing Jar

By WANDA E. BRUNSTET T ER

(Publisher notes)

T

he Healing Jar is the third and final of the Prayer Jar Series. Each of the three books follows a different young woman who finds a jar that takes her on a journey of personal reflection.

The Healing Jar follows the story of Lenore Lapp, an Amish schoolteacher in her late twenties still living at home with her parents and grandparents. She thought love had passed her by until she meets Jesse Smucker, a widower with a baby daughter. She quickly falls in love with them both and accepts Jesse’s proposal of marriage, but Jesse breaks off their engagement when he realizes he can’t marry only for convenience. Will Lenore resolve herself to the single life? Will she find healing for her heart and solve long-buries family secrets when she digs up an old jar in her grandmother’s garden?

New York Times bestselling and award =winning author Wanda L. Brunstetter is one of the founders of the Amish fiction genre. She has written more than 100 books translated in four languages. Wanda’s ancestors were part of the Anabaptist faith, and her novels are based on personal research intended to accurately

portray the Amish way of life. Her books are well-read and trusted by many Amish, who credit her for giving readers a deeper understanding of the people and their customs.

–MRS. MILLER'S HOMEMADE NOODLES– A Family Affair

ABOVE: Founders Leon and Esther Miller bought a former car dealership in 1990, converted it into a noodle factory and moved their noodle making business from their basement into its new home.

WHILE GROWING UP in a family of 14 children, Esther Miller developed a love for cooking. When her mother began making homemade noodles for several local grocers, Esther also discovered a passion for the business. In 1973 Esther ventured into her own noodlemaking endeavor. She spent hours in her kitchen experimenting with the noodle-making process until she had it perfected. This same old fashioned process of kneading, rolling and cutting is still used today.

For 18 years, Esther, along with her husband, children, and a few other employees, made noodles in her basement and delivered to local grocery and bulk food stores. However, the business continued to grow and the basement became over-crowded. In 1990, the 6

Millers bought an old car dealership which they turned into a noodle factory. They also bought their first automated pasta machinery. The business has come a long way since then. In 2010 the office and warehouse expanded to a facility just outside of town and in 2013 a large addition was added to accommodate a new manufacturing and packaging line and more efficient warehouse space. Mrs. Miller’s continues to be family owned and operated. The family feels blessed to be able to work together while still having time for things that really matter to them – God, family, and community.

Currently Mr. & Mrs. Miller still look in on the business, but son Morris now oversees most of the company and is the Production Manager. While still

Cheryl (daughter) is currently the main accountant and office manager. Maria (daughter) now helps prepare food for food shows and photography. As well as assist in the manufacturing process of peanut butter spreads and cappuccinos, Brian (son) assists in setting up of new equipment and maintenance. However, his interests have led him to a career as a doctor, and is known to some as "Noodle Doc". Morris’ wife Linda is the housekeeping coordinator. Three nephews work in I.T., peanut butter spread, and warehouse operations, respectively.

The business is located in

Fredericksburg, Ohio, a small village in Ohio’s Amish Country where traditions of hard work, love of family, good ethics, and enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures are prospering. Sales and marketing specialist Hoss Allison says that what makes Mrs. Miller’s different from the competition is quality.

“The production methods are stateof-the-art. Rolled Pasta is pasta that's rolled out into a continuous sheet, cut to the proper length and width, and then dried. The process starts by rolling the dough onto a sheeter, which is like a big set of rolling pins. The dough is put under pressure in stages by multiple rollers to create the desired thickness. The

We want to give honor to God. Our children have been a big part in our success especially when there was a lot of hard labor hand-making noodles.

Our children remain a big part of the business. force applied by the rollers helps bind the dough giving the noodle a nice texture and strength. The continuous sheet of dough is then passed under a cutting machine where the knives are set to cut at the desired width. The rolled process produces a very consistent and hearty noodle. It's more gentle on the dough, maintaining the integrity of the ingredients, and giving us a less dense product. Extruded pasta is pushed through a machine that puts the ingredients under great pressure and heat.

This compromises the quality, and so Mrs.. Miller’s sticks to the rolled process.

“The kluski noodle is an example of ‘a rare offering,’ says Allison. “They are a little thicker and require precise drying times.”

Mrs. Miller’s offer a large selection:

• Old Fashioned Noodles in 9 widths or cuts • Vegetable Flavored Noodles in 9 flavors • Egg White Noodles in 2 widths or cuts • Organic Noodles in 3 varieties • Whole Grain Noodles in 4 varieties

The noodles are made from the best ingredients:

• Extra Fancy Durum Wheat Flour that has a high protein content and gives the noodles a nice, firm texture • Farm Fresh Eggs that are cracked and

The Noodles are healthy:

• Low Fat • Good source of good carbs • Low Glycemic Index • High Energy Food • Low Sodium

The Noodles are Natural:

• Pareve Kosher • NON-GMO • NO Salt • NO Artificial colors • NO Preservatives

Mrs. Miller’s works hard to meet continuously growing demand at the over 9000 stores (every state is represented) that carry its products. Shipping methods are near perfect, with an almost 100 per cent on-time delivery rate (September through January is the busy season due to Thanksgiving and Christmas). Two new personnel were added last year, one in packaging and one in cleaning. A new product, the red lentil noodle, was rolled out in July. “It’s an amazing noodle,” says Allison, “with fiber and substance and flavor.” Overall, there’s positive sales growth and opportunities for further growth for all of our products.”

Patriarch Leon Miller (Mrs. Esther Miller’s husband) says, “We’ve enjoyed our involvement. It’s been a pleasure. We’ve had good employees. We’ve especially enjoyed working with our children. Work has not been a burden. We want to give honor to God. Our children have been a big part in our success especially when there was a lot of hard labor hand-making noodles.

Our children remain a big part of the business.”

One product Leon especially recommends the Amish peanut butter spread, but the line of noodles is also complemented by a selection of good-old-homemade pasta sauces and salsas. More information, including local retailers, can be found at http://www.mmhn.com.

–AMISH QUILT S– Patterns That Tell A Story

Story by DORIS SI G G Amish Heartland Writer

ABOVE: Amish quilting, which began in the 1870's, began in a more simpler time without outside influences. By the 1940's quilting evolved to include brighter colors, pastels, and complex designs.

AMISH QUILTING began in the 1870’s with a fifteen year period of becoming quite common. “The first Amish quilts were made in one solid color, of brown, blue, rust or black. Often worsted wools were used, and though the fabric was plain, the quilting done to hold the layers together was intricate and decorative.

Swirling feathers, curves and grids were typical quilting patterns” (https://tinyurl.com/bhg4g4). Early Amish quilts were called wholecloth quilts.

As quilting evolved, colors of pumpkin, olive green and dark red were added. At first, an example of a quilt might be one with a centered large diamond with a border. Then other block patterns such as Nine patch, Around the World, and Sunshine and Shadow became popular. They were either wool or cotton.

“The quilt patterns often told stories about the women who quilted them: their beliefs, emotions and events

Most Amish quilts are done with patchwork; pieces of fabric cut into shapes and formed or “patched” into distinct patterns. They can also be made in the appliqué style: small pieces of fabric are sewn together to form a picture. that were going on in their lives. Quilting became a means of expression, which was acceptable to the Amish community since the actual creation of a bedcovering was a practical task. These beautiful patterns were created without the influence of the outside world — no television, magazines or knowledge of modern fashion, style trends or culture” (https://tinyurl.com/y2x6v5mf).

“In Amish culture, Sundays were reserved for church services and special gatherings such as weddings and funerals. These events were held at different community members’ houses. When guests arrived, they would place their coats on the family bed. Just as important as “Sunday Best” clothing, beautiful and elaborate quilts were brought out for display during special occasions” (Ibid.).

Treadle sewing machines have been used to do the patchwork piecing since the machines first became available over 150 years ago. This invisible stitching makes the quilts strong. Most Amish quilts are done with patchwork; pieces of fabric cut into shapes and formed or “patched” into distinct patterns. They can also be made in the appliqué style: small pieces of fabric are sewn together to form a picture.

Brighter colors and more complex designs became prevalent in the early twentieth century, and by the forties pastels were added and sometimes printed fabric. “Many communities allowed more freedom in design and even appliqué began to appear. Hand quilting was no longer as detailed as it had been in earlier times” (Ibid.).

Many times black was used as the background color in contrast to the rich tones. There were differences in quilting from community to community, however.

“Pink or white fabric may have been considered unacceptable in a more conservative area, while drab browns may have been thought dull and old-fashioned in a more liberal one” (Ibid).

During World War II Amish women kept the quilting tradition alive as women in the general population got caught up in the war effort, going to work and donating cloth. During the country’s bicentennial, the nonAmish became interested in historic things and some of that interest turned to Amish quilts. Amish women started making quilts to sell to the general population.

While the Amish use more traditional patterns for their own homes, the quilts they make for outsiders involve great variety and brighter colors. “Because [however] of the extensive handwork most women only take part in producing a couple of quilts each year” (https://www. amishcountrylanes.com/). Quilting is usually done in the winter as the warmer weather keeps Amish women busy with outdoor chores.

“Amish quilts are entirely hand quilted.

During World War II Amish women kept the quilting tradition alive as women in the general population got caught up in the war effort, going to work and donating cloth. During the country’s bicentennial, the non-Amish became interested in historic things and some of that interest turned to Amish quilts.

QUILTS: continued from Pg. 11

quilting frame. The quilter then uses needle and thread to place each quilting stitch in the quilt. A typical queen size bed quilt will have forty to fifty thousand such stitches. The quilting stitches are small (6 to 12 per inch), straight and uniform. To insure uniformity all the quilting for each quilt is done by one quilter “(Ibid.).

Colorfast quilting weight cotton fabrics (and occasionally light weight woolen fabrics) are used to cover the fronts and backs of Amish quilts. It is traditional to use somewhat rustic cotton muslin on quilts. Both solid color fabrics and printed fabrics are now used in Amish quilts.

According to Amish Country Quilts of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, polyester batting became available sixty years ago, and it has been the batting material (the second layer of the quilt) most always used in Amish quilts. “Being much easier to quilt than raw cotton 20

August

batting found in antique quilts and by making a quilt much easier to launder practical Amish women quickly made the switch. Excellent but more expensive woolen batting is also occasionally used in Amish quilts” (Ibid.).

While quilting is communal, a different person usually works on one of the four steps in the process.

“The first step in the process is to select the quilt's design and select and purchase the fabrics to be used in the quilt. Second step is to assemble the quilt top. Third step is to do the quilting and the fourth step is to add the binding and ready the quilt for sale” (Ibid.). The coordination of the whole process is usually done by the person selecting the design and fabrics. But sometimes one person will do all of the work. Attention to detail is most important in the quilt making process, and whether it’s a team or an individual, the results depend on it.

The Amish Outlet Store blog (www.amishoutletstore.

com) lists and describes popular designs:

Double Wedding Ring:

"This beloved design features a double set of interlocking rings.

It was frequently seen in the decorative objects of German settlers who settled in Pennsylvania. The double rings are meant to symbolize marriage, so it’s no wonder that this type of quilt is frequently made or given to newly wedded couples to celebrate their marriage."

Dresden Plate:

Star of Bethlehem:

"A beautiful, 8-pointed star pattern makes this type of quilt one of the most beautiful, elaborate and commonly seen quilt patterns in Amish design. It is also one of the oldest. Originally made of bright colors by European quilt makers, these quilts have been transitioned by the Amish to have the plain background they’re known for today. The new design allows the beautiful starburst design to stand out."

"With a flowerinspired design, this type of quilt features a series of petals radiating out from a central circle. Each petal is made from a different color or pattern of fabric, and the design repeats throughout the quilt. Early variations of this style include a fan pattern with alternating fabric colors. This pattern is frequently seen in baby quilts."

Sunshine and Shadow:

Log Cabin:

Quilt pictures on Pgs. 10, 11 and 20 taken from https:// www.amishcountrylanes.com/ Amish Country Quilts, Lancaster, PA USA where there are quilts for sale.

"This popular quilting pattern features strips of light and dark material sewn along the sides of a square. It gets its name because of the way the strips of fabric resemble the logs of a log cabin. It is said that this pattern was inspired by that which occurs when land is cultivated."

"This intricate pattern features many tiny squares sewn together to form rings of differently colored diamonds. The bold colors against a darker background and border are frequently found in Amish quilts. It is suggested that this specifically Amish pattern represents their belief in the importance of balance in life."

–FROM THE DESK OF JAVON– Who Are these People? (Part 4) Submitted by Javon Miller | Amish Heartland Contributor

“And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take.

Eat: this is my body. And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. And he said unto them. This is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many.”

M A RK 1 4 : 2 2 - 2 4

IN OUR fourth study we will look at the instructions that Jesus gave us before he died. It is very clear that we have a valid guide that will direct us if we are willing to heed it.

Just this morning I was reading a bit in the small flyer called “Answers in Genesis.” In it, they addressed the concern that many people today have lost “The Book,” same as the Israelites did back in the day of King Josiah.

Today we have the freedom to read God’s word. Today, we have the availability of the Bible as never before in history.

In the times of the early church, many Christians could not read at all. If they could read, the written word was so time consuming to duplicate, that most could not afford it. So, many people had no 24

more understanding than that of which the teachers promoted. With the invention of the printing press, the Bible became available for personal study. Despite intense persecution and possibility of death, the people responded to God. They read His Word and repented, they were wiling to follow Him even to death. Today we can read it for ourselves. We can afford to have copies in all areas of our homes, offices, and carry pocket sized Bibles in our pockets. Do we value this opportunity or do we still limit our exposure to our weekly teaching on Sunday?

I looked up the definition of testament in Webster’s dictionary.

There were two definitions that are pertinent to our case, (1) evidence or witness, and

(2) legal instructions for the disposition of one’s property after death.

The definition of testator is; a person who dies leaving a valid will.

Did Jesus not leave a more than valid will? One of our deceased ministers used to say, “Even if it were not for heaven or hell, I would still choose the life of a Christian.”

Why would a man make a comment like this? It is simply defined by Jesus’ own words when a lawyer asked him which of the laws was the greatest. Now keep in mind that the Jewish law was very articulate.

It covered all areas of life with great detail. However, study them yourself sometime. Many were simply given to keep the heart of the people focused on God and to maintain good health and relationships.

Back to jesus’ answer to the lawyer’s question, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love they neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Think about this statement! If we would all follow these two, yes only two, rules, all evil would be eliminated this whole world. God’s love for us would be mirrored by all people. We would want only “whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report” (Phil.

4:7-9). If we would love all people as we love ourselves, robbery, murder, divorce, abuse, all crime, argument, the list could go on and on, would be eradicated. Our court systems and governments would have virtually nothing to do!

So we see that this book, the Bible, has the answers to all questions in life.

With this in mind, we will look in the next article that our forefathers wrote for our instruction. This is a safeguard that has stood the centuries through. God’s word does not change! It is everlasting and provides directions in all areas of life.

We also believe and confess, that Christ, before His ascension, established and instituted His New Testament and left it to His followers, to be and remain an everlasting testament, which He confirmed and sealed with His own precious Blood; and in which He

has so highly commended to them, that neither men nor angels may change it, neither take therefrom nor add thereto.

Jeremiah 31:31, “Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House of Judah.”

Hebrews 9:15-17, “And for this cause He is the mediator of the New Testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.”

Testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

Galatians 1:8, “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.”

1 Timothy 6:3-5, “ If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envv, strife, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.”

Revelation 22:18-19, “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, god shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”

Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

Luke 21:53, “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” **Is this not true? What other book has been in continual publication for 2,000 years? What other book has been printed in most languages across the globe?

Is there any other book that has sold as many copies as the Bible?** And that He has caused this Testament (in which the whole counsel and will of His heavenly Father, so far as these are necessary to the salvation of man, are comprehended) to be proclaimed, in His name, through his beloved apostles, messengers and servants (whom He chose and sent into all the world for this purpose) to all nations, people, and tongues; these apostles preaching repentance and remission of sins; and that He, in said Testament, caused it to be declared, that all men without distinction, if they are obedient through faith, follow, fulfill, and live according to the precepts of the same, are His children and rightful

heirs; having thus excluded none from the precious inheritance of eternal salvation, except the unbelieving and the disobedient, the headstrong and unconverted; who despise such salvation; and thus by their own actions incur guilt by refusing the same, and “judge themselves unworthy of everlasting life.”

Mark 16:15, “And he said unto them, go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”

Luke 24: 46,47, “And said unto them, thus it is written and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.”

Romans 8:17, “And if children, then heirs; heirs of god, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together.”

Acts 13:46, “Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, it was necessary that the Word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.”

***End of Article***

I can agree with the Psalmist when he wrote in Psalm 34:8-9, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”

How can we learn what God wants of us unless we follow Paul’s advice to Timothy in 2 Tim. 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

And then will we be shown a way that is right in God’s eyes and make ours a life of joy and fulfillment. Psalm 119:103-105, “How sweet are thy words unto my taste!

Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore, I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.”

I can agree with the Psalmist when he wrote in Psalm 34:8-9, “O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”

As with all textbooks, this one also has a test at the end. We can either apply it to our life now, while there is still time or face it on that final judgement day. Today we have this Inspired Word to guide us, then, we have another set of books that will not be changed.

Rev.20:15, “and whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life as cast into the lake of fire.”

Luke 13:27, “But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.”

However, those who have applied their life to the words of god shall hear, “Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for youfrom the foundation of the world.”
