Some weeks ago our women's group decided to renew its name, that is Tabita. At the beginning of the 20th century our sisters chose her name because she was a very nice, silent, committed servant of the Lord. Thinking of her I read the story from the Bible in Acts 9: 36-42. I would like to share a short message.

First of all, the cloths she made brought joy to many of the poor. These were useful. The result of her simple work - sawing - caused joy.

Hard times came on them. Tabita became sick. The group of sisters stayed with her, prayed together and were looking for help. Every Sunday when we are together in church, we worship and after that we talk with each other. We talk a lot about our everyday life, we share our problems, difficulties and our joys. We ask help and give help. But to do so there are some conditions. Confidence - sincerity - not taking advantage of other's weaknesses. How can it be possible? Through the love of Christ. He can open our hearts toward others. He is the only one who can enrich the relation among us and of course He can charge us with deeper responsibility for others.

Tabita gave a wonderful testimony with her life, her death and resurrection. And sharing her story the believers gained a lot of new life for Christ.

May the Lord bless all of us as we serve the people for his glory.

In his service,
Anikó Ujvári
