About Me and My Blog

I am a Christian wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend and who ever else I am. I have been married for thirty-one years to my best friend, Greg. We live in a small town in East Texas. I am the FCS County Extension Agent. I enjoy sewing, camping, gardening, spending time with family, traveling, riding with Greg on his motorcycle. I am learning about beekeeping, soapmaking, rainwater catchment and other farmish type activities.
The name of my blog comes from a sermon I heard once about a time when Paul had been arrested and was being taken to Rome as a prisoner. The ship, on which he traveled found safe harbor, for the winter, at a place called Fairhaven. The captain of the ship wasn't content with staying so he set sail again and later was ship wrecked. I apply this to my life in that I want to be content with where God has me and what he has for me. If I am not I may end up like the ship that carried Paul, shipwrecked.

Day 15 and 16

I am half way through my month of gratitude.
Day 15 I am grateful for Jesus who loves me and has called me to be His. I don't have to work to earn His love, He just freely gives it. When I mess up He isn't waiting to hammer on me or expecting me to do penance. He delights in me. Thank you, Jesus

Day 16 Today I was at a used bookstore in Jasper. I have been looking for the book "The Gingerbread Man". As I was digging through the books I mentioned to the Lord that I would sure like to find that little book. No begging, just mentioned it and in a few minutes as I flipped through the books there it was. Thank you, Lord. Later, Greg came to Jasper to help me with the truck. It had been making a noise. He started driving it and it wouldn't make the noise much. I asked the Lord to let the truck make the noise so Greg could hear it and sure enough it did. Thank you, again Lord.
