"Received up into glory."-1 Timothy 3:16
    
    We have seen our well-beloved Lord in the days of His flesh, humiliated and sore vexed; for He was "despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief." He whose brightness is as the morning, wore the sackcloth of sorrow as His daily dress: shame was His mantle, and reproach was His vesture. Yet now, inasmuch as He has triumphed over all the powers of darkness upon the bloody tree, our faith beholds our King returning with dyed garments from Edom, robed in the splendour of victory. How glorious must He have been in the eyes of seraphs, when a cloud received Him out of mortal sight, and He ascended up to heaven! Now He wears the glory which He had with God or ever the earth was, and yet another glory above all-that which He has well earned in the fight against sin, death, and hell. As victor He wears the illustrious crown. Hark how the song swells high! It is a new and sweeter song: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, for He hath redeemed us unto God by His blood!" He wears the glory of an Intercessor who can never fail, of a Prince who can never be defeated, of a Conqueror who has vanquished every foe, of a Lord who has the heart's allegiance of every subject. Jesus wears all the glory which the pomp of heaven can bestow upon Him, which ten thousand times ten thousand angels can minister to Him. You cannot with your utmost stretch of imagination conceive His exceeding greatness; yet there will be a further revelation of it when He shall descend from heaven in great power, with all the holy angels-"Then shall He sit upon the throne of His glory." Oh, the splendour of that glory! It will ravish His people's hearts. Nor is this the close, for eternity shall sound His praise, "Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever!" Reader, if you would joy in Christ's glory hereafter, He must be glorious in your sight now. Is He so?

Progress is being made!

Handmade by Heidi


Tonight was the Sept. Friday Night Sew-In and progress was made.  It was tiny baby step, but it was progress.  I was handed this jacket....


in church on Sunday with instructions that the owner would like for me to make 5 memory bears out of it.  HUM!  Never heard of such a thing.  So I had to come home and google it...
And found out what it was through VITAS and Hospice Care

Description

Memory Bear volunteers make home-sewn bears with compassion and love, to ease a hurting heart after the death of a VITAS patient. The bears are sewn from the patient's clothing: a favorite pair of jeans, a pullover top, dress, bathrobe, nightgown, etc. A Memory Bear may recall the closeness of a loved one, bring a smile to someone in distress or offer a sense of security to a child who feels alone after the loss of a grandparent, parent or sibling.
The fabric is provided by the family; the pattern, support and stuffing is provided by VITAS and the creativity is provided by the volunteer. Bears can be made in the volunteer's home or at the VITAS office.

Skills

  • Sewing: Volunteers should have a desire to use their talents or hobbies to make a difference in someone's life. Must have sewing tools: sewing machine, needles, etc. Fabric and stuffing are provided. No professional experience necessary but sewing experience is a must. Creativity is a plus.
I didn't really have a pattern so I googled that too. and found this bear pattern

He is suppose to be 8.5 inches when done.  Well I'm going to have to  improvise on this bear some because of parts needed so I hope and pray and trust that he turns out.  I'm winging it as I go on Mr. bear.  Any way here are some pics of the jacket now....
doesn't look like a jacket any more
I had quite the mess.  Feathers all over the place.  Had to vacuum before I could do any more. 
I was able to get all 5 bears cut out tonight

5 Bears coming right up.....
