"Good Master."-Matthew 19:16

If the young man in the gospel used this title in speaking to our Lord, how much more fitly may I thus address Him! He is indeed my Master in both senses, a ruling Master and a teaching Master. I delight to run upon His errands, and to sit at His feet. I am both His servant and His disciple, and count it my highest honour to own the double character. If He should ask me why I call Him "good," I should have a ready answer. It is true that "there is none good but one, that is, God," but then He is God, and all the goodness of Deity shines forth in Him. In my experience, I have found Him good, so good, indeed, that all the good I have has come to me through Him. He was good to me when I was dead in sin, for He raised me by His Spirit's power; He has been good to me in all my needs, trials, struggles, and sorrows. Never could there be a better Master, for His service is freedom, His rule is love: I wish I were one thousandth part as good a servant. When He teaches me as my Rabbi, He is unspeakably good, His doctrine is divine, His manner is condescending, His spirit is gentleness itself. No error mingles with His instruction-pure is the golden truth which He brings forth, and all His teachings lead to goodness, sanctifying as well as edifying the disciple. Angels find Him a good Master and delight to pay their homage at His footstool. The ancient saints proved Him to be a good Master, and each of them rejoiced to sing, "I am Thy servant, O Lord!" My own humble testimony must certainly be to the same effect. I will bear this witness before my friends and neighbours, for possibly they may be led by my testimony to seek my Lord Jesus as their Master. O that they would do so! They would never repent so wise a deed. If they would but take His easy yoke, they would find themselves in so royal a service that they would enlist in it for ever.

Are you ready for some sewing fun???

The time has come the time is now. Start thinking about this month's Friday Night Sew-In. It's this Friday. The last two months I've been out-of-town so haven't been able to participate in the sew-in. I'm hoping to get to sew some this Friday; however, I don't know how much I'll get accomplished because hubby is off work on Friday so we'll see if it happens. What will I be working on??? well I was given a project yesterday in church. I was handed this.....

What is it??? and why was I given it??? glad you asked
It is a winter coat and it was handed to me with a request attached to it. Please make 5 memory bears out of this jacket. OK..... So what is a memory bear and how did the person know that I sewed????? So guess what I'm gonna have to start working on....yep....5 memory bears coming right up. yeah right. What a challenge!
