Prom Queen

Four of us are pooped after working in the yard and moving dirt!  Matt and Garrett were troopers in helping their dad and I out in the yard.  Our yard is looking good!

Pat is feeling much better today.  It is just weird how the pain is here one day and gone the next.  Thank you for praying.

I made the train reservations tonight and we will be departing on Tuesday afternoon.  We have to go a day earlier this week in order to meet with a particular doctor.  Praying that those markers are coming down, down, down!

My niece, Brianna, went to the prom tonight!  She is so beautiful on the inside and out.  She just makes me so proud.  The girl is smart, sweet and she loves the Lord with all of her heart.  I love you, Brianna! 

Tomorrow is my favorite day, Sunday!  Looking forward to worship in the morning!

Hugs!

The Wedding

I was just watching the highlights of the Royal Wedding.  This morning at 5 AM Denise turned on the TV just in time to watch Kate walk down the isle and they said their vows.  I watched the exchanging of the vows and went back to sleep.  What a beautiful wedding and couple.

The retreat was fun last night and I really enjoyed the time with the girls.  Thank you again, ministers, for the great gift!  After breakfast we met again with a morning devotion and then shopped around the square in Granbury.  I have attached a photo of us near the lake.

I got home about 2:30.  Unfortunately, Pat had notified me mid morning that his back pain was severe, so he was heading home.  I am stumped about his pain and not quite sure what is causing it.  I just want him to feel good and we are always thankful for his good days.

Hope that you have a great weekend.  I am loving the sunshine!

Hugs!

Lady Revelle Tiny-Buckholt

Hello from Granbury! I am being treated to an R&R as a gift from the ministers along with six others. We got away from the church an hour later than planned due to the last minute, but important duties that had to be done in order for Church to happen on Sunday!

All seven of us were laughing the minute we locked the door behind us as we left the church and have not stopped yet. What a great bunch of girls that I love and adore. Tonight we had a devotional leader from Truett Theological Seminary who was inspiring and very gifted. She was so refreshing.

It is late and my roomie, Denise, has to get up at 3 AM to watch that wedding. (I asked Pat to record it and he asked "what wedding"?) I will not be joining her!

As I close I am going to share my royal wedding guest name should I have been invited. How did I come up with my name? The game on FB was choose Lady plus my grandmother's name
plus my first dog's name plus the street name I lived on as a child.

Cordially,

Lady Revelle Tiny-Buckholt 

Think About it

Did you know that it is Administrative Professionals Day?  The staff at my office did and are so good in rewarding and showing their appreciation!  Today we were surprised with a a reception and a send off.  Tomorrow after work, all of the support staff at my church will be driving to an R & R overnight retreat and get the day off on Friday.  That is such an awesome gift of pampering and time away.  It will be fun!

I wanted to share with you the devotional from Purpose Driven Life that I read this morning: A lot of people are afraid to trust Jesus with their lives because they think that means he will narrow it. He’ll cramp their style and make their life smaller with a lot of rules and restrictions. When Christ comes into your life, the exact opposite happens. Instead of making your life more religious, he makes it more alive. He makes you more fully human and able to experience the life you were meant to live. He expands your horizons and gives you the ability to see things you’ve never seen before. You may be living a good life now, but God wants to offer you a better life. The Bible says, “He brings me out into a spacious place; he rescues me because he delights in me!” (Psalm 18:19). God expands the possibilities on your life because he delights in you. He doesn’t just love you; he finds joy in you!

It is so true!  God makes my life so alive and He constantly reveals more of Himself as I seek Him.  Have you thought that before?  If you accept Jesus as your Savior, life won't be any fun?  It is just the opposite.  I will never comprehend how much he loves me and the only way I can wrap my brain around that is by comparing His love for me to the love I have for my children.  Isn't that hard to believe?  He loves my kids more than I do. Wow!

When I am chatting with my friends there is one thing that I want them to know.  Life is precious and it can change in a split second. My heart is heavy this week along with a lot of others here in my home town.  An acquaintance of mine lost her husband Friday night in a motorcycle accident and he was killed instantly.  He had just left their place of business, had dinner with his wife and took off on his bike to go to the car races.  In just a matter of few minutes he was gone.   Today as I was leaving for work, one of my dearest friend's son-in-law had seizures the first of the week, hospitalized, in a coma and they were told this afternoon there is no brain activity.  He hasn't even been married a year to her daughter.  Heartbreaking. 

No one thinks it will happen to them.  We all dream, hope and plan to....grow happily ever after, hold those grandkids, marry--just fill in the blank with your dreams. 

He got my attention. I get it.  I was telling my niece today that I am stingy now with my time and how I spend it.  I also say I love you every chance I get.

Look here, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit.” How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.  James 4:13-14

Please pray for these two families who are hurting.  God knows their names.

Thankful,
xoxo

Praying For A Good Day

Days when Pat feels good are most important to me and today was not.  I feel so helpless when I can't do anything to make him feel better.  Today has been of the roughest ones he has had in a long time. He says he can't describe it although he has been nauseous which is really unusual.  I ask that you pray with me for Pat to feel better tomorrow.  

Matt and Garrett had a church basketball game tonight, but I wanted to stay home with Pat.  They got beat by three!  Now Matt and Sam are driving back to Waco and there are storms and tornado warnings in that area, so Pat and I are watching the radar for them.

Pat and I watched Slumdog Millionaire tonight...I know, we are a little behind.  It was a good movie though and very unusual.  Oh, Miss Elizabeth went to the Ranger game!

Praying for my guys tonight!
