Dear Ones,
Hope you have a wonderful day. This morning I plan to make another Nova Scotia Cream cake and a new chicken/broccoli dish to have tomorrow for Ann’s early Birthday. We are going to shop a bit too all the while her car is getting worked on.
Devotions from Judy’s heart
Today we see so many people that are self-absorbed with their thoughts, mostly on themselves, their comfort and pleasures. Such lives that fail to look outward and serve others will be left feeling unfulfilled and without purpose. But when we receive the Lord, we find we are to give and to serve others; generous people are truly happier, healthier, live longer and flourish.

When we help others, our own hearts are healed. Every day we can ask the Lord to help us know how we can serve Him, how we can give and make a difference. It can be small things like sending out a card to someone struggling or bringing food to an impoverished family. Joy grows when we share with others, as Jesus said in Luke 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”

Think of it! We have only one life to live!  We can’t start over and take back all the years we have squandered living for ourselves. Whatever material things we earned can’t go with us into the next life, so we need to live now with purpose. Let us be generous, using what we have to help hurting people and point them to the Lord. One day we will have to give an account of our lives and what we did with the gifts God gave us. Will there be those in heaven because of something we said, something we gave, something we did? I hope so! Let us live our lives with eternity in view and our hearts set on living each day for the Lord.

Challenge for today: Choose one thing you can do to help someone else today and point them to the Lord.
Blessings on your day and prayers and love, Judy
