Amish Donate Cash to School Gunman's Widow

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20761374/?gt1=10357

This is such a wonderful thing that the Amish are doing. It truly shows Christian charity and forgiveness.

Now, on the flip side....the attitude of the Amish and many Christians are "It's God's will for my life. I must accept it and go on and forgive". This is good and great on one side of the coin. On the flip side, how does a Christian know when to not accept bad things as "God's will" and look for better choices for themselves? The reason I bring this up is because, in Amish life, basically anything is seen as "God's will". This is true in many lives of Christians in general.
