Devotions from Judy’s heart One day I was taken to the home of a potter’s shop and as I looked up towards his house of barn-wood it looked anything but elegant. But  once inside was a different matter. It was filled with beautiful works of art on the walls, tables, and every where. I felt like…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday we got in on the children’s Christmas program and what a delight. There were readings of scripture as each of the characters in the Christmas story came in. When they had all made their entrance they were quite angelic at first. Before long  one of the angel’s halo began to tilt…

Devotions from Judy’s heart As we celebrate Christmas, our focus is on the greatest treasure ever given, Jesus. When I look back on previous Christmas times, perhaps it is in our losses that we are made more aware of our wondrous Treasure. I think back of  a loved one, going through a divorce, who came to spend Christmas with us in California.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I read a beautiful poem by a 12 year old girl who wrote it the night before she was struck by a car and died 8 days later. She talked about hesitating with fear to go through a door but then being willing  and going through it with hope. The last line of…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart During this Christmas time so many doors are decorated beautifully for this season. Doors are important as they are a passageway to where we are going. The opening of the door to our heart allows us to see more of the treasure of who He has made us to be and…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I went for a prayer walk and since the leaves are gone, I was able to see the nests in the trees. There is a well known  nest of an osprey on top of a power pole on Highway #5 that is especially huge. I thought of the birds and their…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Things are not always the way they seem outwardly. We can misjudge if we only go by outward appearances. Each day I try to find time to go for a walk alone and spend that time praying as I walk. The other day Al and I both went for a prayer walk…

Devotions from Judy’s heart While at our grandsons I played several different wii games with them. They were very accomplished but grandma has a ways to go. Bowling was my best and ping pong was second,  but some of the other games were pathetic. The games that were hard for me were so easy for them. Isn’t…

Devotions from Judy’s heart When we were in Charleston, Al took each of the grandkids out alone and was hopeful to make a good deposit in them. It says in Ps. 89 that we are to tell the next generation of His faithfulness. At this Christmas time it is the first anniversary of my dad’s Homecoming and…
