For example, “This thing gives light when it’s dark, and you can switch it on and off. What could it be?” In this case, the answer would be a “lamp” or “light”. If the child guesses correctly, celebrate their success! If they need help, you can provide additional clues until they figure it out. You can take turns, too, allowing the child the opportunity to describe something for you to guess. Mary Magdalene, Susannah, Nympha, Lydia, Euodia, Syntyche, Phoebe, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Persis, the chosen lady, and other New Testament women are not mentioned with a male relative or guardian. These women are not described by their family situation but by their ministries. Wanda, the new weathergirl, treats Tabitha as a servant. Aunt Minerva takes it personally and arranges for Wanda to quit. Tabitha replaces her as weathergirl and her good looks make her a hit with the audience. But she is uncomfortable in the role of a sex symbol. [12]

Dorcas and Cornelius are represented on the stained glass windows above the altar in the Emmanuel Anglican Church in Lawson, New South Wales. In the church of St. Lawrence, Weston under Penyard, Herefordshire, she is depicted with St. Paul in a pair of stained glass windows dedicated to the memory of Edward Burdett Hawkshaw, the Rector from 1854 to 1912, and his wife, Catherine (a photograph nearby in the church shows that his likeness is the face given to St. Paul, while Dorcas has the face of Mrs. Hawkshaw). Adam is tasked with supervising a highly prestigious international weight lifting competition. Tabitha gets to escort Soviet World Champion Vasily Kasseroff, who has amorous intentions. Unfortunately, Tabitha is ill and her magic is out of control. It is time for a visit from Dr. Bombay. [10] Finally, the primary work of the Holy Spirit in this context was not only to convict the Jewish populace of sin but to assure them (through the empowering of the apostles) that the covenants and prophetic promises of God in the Old Testament (particularly those pertaining to the beginning of Messianic reig) were now manifested in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ [see Acts 3: 24 – 26].

Tabitha is a rather quiet girl who is usually seen reading. Her best friend is Kirche, although the two don't actually talk very much often. Kirche becomes very close after she finds out what happened to her parents. Tabitha uses wind-water magic with a staff used as the wand; similarly, the coat of arms of Gallia displays a cross of two staves. Her familiar is a blue wind rhyme dragon named Sylphid.

But the following might be useful to you. In the previous posting of this article, there was an interesting discussion in the comments about the significance of Tabitha’s name. Richard Fellows made this comment:

Luke, the author of Acts, provides several details surrounding Tabitha’s story but begins with these glowing words. Luke does not identify any person in Acts as a deacon or deaconess, not even the seven men in Acts 6. The Greek word diakonos (“deacon/ deaconess”) does not occur at all in the book of Acts. In the New Testament, diakonos is Paul’s word for a minister.

Paul never uses these words for an ordinary servant. He almost always uses it for “an agent with a sacred commission.” As such, several diakonoi are described as being a diakonos of Christ (1 Tim. 4:6) or of God (e.g. 2 Cor. 6:4), or of the gospel (Eph. 3:7), or of a specific church—a church being a sacred community of “saints” (Rom. 16:1-2). Furthermore, Tabitha may have been a relatively young widow. There was a high mortality rate in New Testament times and, as husbands were usually considerably older than their wives, it was not unusual for wives to outlive them. But Tabitha’s life was also cut short. After an illness that appears to have been short and sudden, she dies. Laid Out in an Upper Room (Acts 9:37-38) Consequently, I am not so sure that Luke intends this passage to be understood as an example of “the ‘normal’ Christian life”. Indeed, despite the presence of a Christian community in Lydda, Aeneas’ long-term illness remained unhealed until Peter arrived. Similarly, in the face of Tabitha’s death, the disciples at Joppa recognised their need of Peter to solve the problem rather than dealing with it themselves. This strongly suggests that such powers were not widely distributed among members of the earliest Christian communities. Such deeds in Acts are accomplished only by the apostles and their close associates. Certainly, elsewhere in Acts, many examples of successful evangelism occurs without reference to such deeds (e.g. 11:19-21; 13:13-52; 14:1; 16:11-15; 17:1-4, 10-12, 17-34; 18:1-8). Indeed, miraculous activity is recorded somewhat less frequently as Acts progresses. The focus of Tabitha’s story is in verses 40-41, and Luke slows the pace of the narrative here by giving Peter several actions. Following the example of Jesus (cf. Matt. 9:25), and of Elijah and Elisha, Peter sends everyone out of the room, and he prays for a miracle. He then turns to the corpse and speaks to it.
