Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

Although the Swing Machine was invented before the American Civil War, most stitching was still done by hand. Ladies were taught this craft by making embroidered samplers and quilts, and eventually clothing. Although the wealthy had "Dressmakers" young women were still expected to be able to "sew a fine seam" as part of their education.

In the book "Gone With The Wind", Scarlet O'Hara needs a new dress to impress. Since there is no fabric available, she uses her mother's green velvet draperies to make the dress, which comes out perfect. (Carol Burnett did a hilarious parody of this scene, with the curtain rod left in. LOL)

In "Fiddler on the Roof" there is a celebration when The Tailor gets a new Sewing Machine. And, in the 80's, there was a huge resurgence of the fine art of American Quilting that swept the nation. Both my Nana and my Mom were excellent seamstresses, and they taught me.

Someone who can sew is a real asset to the community. I have hauled out the sewing machine many times for someone who needed a quick repair, a costume, or a wedding dress. But my favorite achievements have always been the things I have made by hand.

One can only imagine how special Tabitha was to the community. Because of her kind and loving heart, she sewed (by hand!) garments and robes for the widows of her congregation. From the context, it is easy to infer that she did this on her own, without being assigned or coerced. Her talent was dedicated to helping her neighbors who were less talented or less fortunate than herself.

Whatever a person's gift or talent, it can be used by the Kingdom of God. If it is forced, or done for the wrong motives, it is worthless, but if it comes from the heart, it is precious. A simple widow's robe made by hand by Tabitha will ALWAYS be more beautiful that that awesome green velvet dress made from "Miss Ellen's Portiers".

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"The counsel of the LORD stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance..” Psalm 33 NASB

God Bless America!
