"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.

Bummer Night of Sewing.....

I sewed last night with First Friday Night with Friends again. It has been a long time since I've had a chance to really set down and sew. I really miss it. I mentioned in earlier post this week that I was going to work on a cover for my kitchen aid mixer. I found a free tutorial online. Anyway, I'd been working real hard this week to get my material all quilted so I could finish my project last night.

I was on a roll. I had the main part pieced and all the quilting lines drawn. Then Thursday night I ran out of thread to finish quilting the last piece.

Sew I had to run to the store after work just to get my thread. After sending daughter off to work I got busy. Got all the quilting done! Whee! Started cutting out the pieces. Nice it was all coming together. I like it when things go well.....Got all the piece cut and started pinning them together. All of the sudden it happened.... yep things were going too smoothly......

What a BIG hit in the gut. Can this be right????? No....No.....Ugh! Yep the pattern for the ends was about 2 and 1/2 inches too short.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how I can fix this?????? ARGH! I think I have enough fabric to make the ends again, but I think I'll sleep on it and see if I can think of a creative solution before I go that route. SEW BUMMED!!!!
