My Life As An Amish Wife: Plain Living

Living a simple and fulfilling life has always been a desire of mine. In a world filled with hustle and bustle, I found solace in the Amish community, embracing their way of life and becoming an Amish wife. The beauty of plain living is often misunderstood by those who are accustomed to modern conveniences and materialistic pursuits. However, it has brought me immense joy, peace, and contentment.

A Day in the Life

As an Amish wife, my days start early, with the rising sun as my alarm clock. I prepare a hearty breakfast for my family, made from fresh ingredients harvested on our farm. There is something incredibly satisfying about knowing exactly where the food on your plate comes from.

After breakfast, my husband attends to the animals, while I take care of household chores. Cleaning, sewing, and gardening keep me busy throughout the day. There is a sense of rhythm and purpose in the simplicity of our routines, an affirmation of the importance of each task.

The Value of Community

One of the greatest blessings of being an Amish wife is the strong sense of community. We truly rely on one another for support and companionship. We gather for worship services, work together on community projects, and offer helping hands when fellow community members need assistance.

Our evenings often consist of shared meals and evenings spent in conversation or reading. Without the constant distractions of technology and social media, we are able to deeply connect with those around us, fostering genuine relationships.

Embracing Simplicity

In a society that constantly seeks more, it is refreshing to find satisfaction in simplicity. While we do not completely shun modern inventions, we carefully evaluate their impact on our lives. We believe in prioritizing relationships, nature, and the preservation of traditional skills. By doing so, we find ourselves living in harmony with our surroundings and appreciating the little things that often go unnoticed in today's fast-paced world.

Our simple homes are intentionally built without excessive luxuries. We focus on creating a nurturing and peaceful environment for our families, where deepening our faith and cultivating love takes precedence over material possessions.

The Importance of Faith

Faith is at the core of the Amish way of life. The teachings of Christ guide our every step, providing a solid foundation for our decisions and actions. Our religious practices are integral to our daily routines, providing solace, wisdom, and strength.

Prayer is an essential part of our lives, connecting us with our Creator and seeking His guidance. By welcoming God into our homes, we instill in our children the values of gratitude, humility, and integrity.

Life as an Amish wife is not without its challenges, but the rewards far outweigh them. It is a life of purpose, simplicity, and devotion to family and community. Living plain allows us to appreciate the beauty in the ordinary and find contentment in a world that constantly craves more.

So, if you ever feel overwhelmed by the demands of modern living or find yourself longing for a simpler, more meaningful existence, consider stepping into the Amish way of life. Embrace plain living, nurture your soul, and rediscover the joy found in the simplicity of each day.

“After three hours of chores, breakfast, phone calls, and getting mail ready, it was 9:30 by the time I got to sewing. I sewed three blouses before noontime.”

As an Amish wife and mother of six, Lena Yoder has plenty of ways to fill her time.

“I helped with the afternoon milking, baked two different kinds of cakes, made two pizzas, and got everybody ready to take supper to school for the teachers.”

But amid the endless tasks to complete and challenges to overcome, Lena’s simple joy and deep faith are ever present in these brief, first-person accounts.

“I am thoroughly enjoying these days at home…Our family is filled with love…I could never list everything I am thankful for.”

These unassuming glimpses of Amish life will touch your heart and inspire you to seek the simple things—a loving family, a good day’s work, and a grateful heart.
