This was Dorcas’ lasting legacy. She put into practice what Paul preached: “In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works.” She not only had a pattern for the coats and garments she made, but, more importantly, she left them a Godly “cut-out” that they might pattern their lives after.
Seneca was one of the greatest of the Stoic philosophers. He was falsely accused by Nero of conspiracy and ordered to take his own life. He was refused the right to leave a will. Turning to his weeping family and friends, he said he would leave them the best thing he had— the pattern of his life.
