Her Life:

• Beautiful illustration of true discipleship
• Stayed Occupied in her work for the Lord at home with a Rod (Needle) in her hand
• Comforted those in the church who were in need
• Many came to believe because of her miracle testimony
• Was an example to all, especially the single
• Full of kindness
• When she died, her life was not over. God raised her up because He was not finished with her yet.
• Unselfish and Philanthropic
• Listened to others to find out their needs
• Humble in Ministry - Did not try to draw attention to herself
• Silent Witness
• Displayed her faith by her actions

Thoughts to ponder:

• Comparing Her Life to Our Own...How do we fit in?
• How will we be remembered in the future?

For just as we have many members in one body and all members do not have the same function, so we, who are many are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. And since we have gifts that differ accordingly to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly if prophesy (Anna), according to the proportion of faith if service, in his service (Dorcas) Or he who teaches in his teaching Or he who exhorts in his exhortation He who gives liberality He who leads with diligence He who shows mercy with cheerfulness. Romans 12:4-8.
