Devotions from Judy’s heart As you received the picture of us tye-dyeing our shirts, you can see how we put rubber bands in many places throughout the shirts. Then we sprinkled on the dye and let it sit overnight before washing and seeing the beautiful results. I thought of how it is much like our…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes it seems like many things go wrong at once and yet we are told to be thankful for trials. The other day, after getting our new boat home, through the channel and into our lake and dock, the new motor would not start. The grandkids were disappointed as we were…
Devotions from Judy’s heart Words are so important and have the power to build up or tear down. We have all said things we wish we could take back but it is too late. I’m sure we have all received words that have wounded us too. In Matt. 12 it says that we will have…
Devotions from Judy’s heart We are enjoying the grandkids so much but if you looked at our house, you would say it is rather messy. Does it matter? NO!

Devotions from Judy’s heart The search is on! We are looking for a boat for our family’s use these days and going various places trying to find the right one. Also, we took the grandsons to Brainerd yesterday and they searched for a prize which is like an early birthday gift. They combed all the…
Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I was using a funnel to pour a big jar of olive oil into a smaller container. I started by using a large funnel but realized it was too big for the smaller hole in the oil bottle. I noticed some of the oil spilling down the sides…
Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I played a lengthily game of Scrabble with 2 of our grandsons. It was down to the last few letters and one grandson was prancing around thinking he won by 20 points, since his brother had only 1 letter left. I told him to be humble and not…
