Handmade coats and garments

Imagine the legacy of the woman Dorcas, known for her skillful construction of clothing, and to have this recorded in Holy Scripture!
"...all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them." (Acts 9:39)

How beautiful to be remembered for such a skill!  This is a wonderful legacy.  We should all aspire to something as pure, noble, and simple.  Think of the example of Dorcas.  Think of the presence of the Lord, the ever constant reality.
