Sewing Room
I remember the light in grandmother’s sewing room. It was shining through on either side of her old black Singer sewing machine. That room had the best light of the whole house. It is where she stitched away for decades after her husband died. The sound of that machine echoing down the basement stairs where grandfather’s tools lay silent and dark.
Customers came and went past the living room, the kitchen colored with Fiesta ware, or up the side stairs into the back foyer set for sewing. The huge kitchen table was where she laid her cloth, cutting the fabric with shape shears, the bright light on the pins as she prepared to stitch it altogether.

Greater Works
based on John 14:12 Aramaic Bible
Noah did a great work
Moses too
Abraham was father to Issac
did not have to make a sacrifice of him
became the father of faith
Jonah finished his task
after much travail and prayer
from the belly of a fish and was still
mad at GOD
Jesus did great works
some we will never know of
Peter and Paul led the blind to see
and Jesus said
Timeless truth, I tell you: ‘whoever believes in Me,
those works which I have done, he will also do,
and he will do greater works than these, because
I am going to the presence of my Father.’
Expect greater works
