Devotions from Judy’s heart There are times in our lives when we want to so badly to be certain we are hearing God’s voice to our hearts….especially when making decisions, changes, seeking direction, desiring discernment etc.  It’s like our spirit is on tiptoe, and seeking to recognize His voice, even when it is like a faint whisper. His voice…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I recently read Emilie Griffin’s book, “Green Leaves for Later Years” and she writes of living freely and bearing fruit into old age. She speaks of each day as a new beginning and there are no time-outs, no free-passes. We just have to begin again and again. The author has rheumatoid…

Devotions from Judy’s heart At this time several of our friends are living in pain, in darkness or the unknown. But it need not be a “wasted time” or a time to “get over” quickly. Even though we also may experience a time of suffering,  it can become a time of awakening to God’s life in us. …

Devotions from Judy’s heart While I was playing Badmitten with our grandsons in Charleston 2 neighbor dogs barked nearly the whole time.

Devotions from Judy’s heart On Tuesday evening as we rounded the bend in the road  after being gone over 2 weeks, home looked so good!  We traveled over 1000 miles one day through several busy cities and more miles the next day, so the sight of quiet home was like heaven. I thought of how life…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart While we were at our daughter’s, our 15 year old grandson took me aside and told me he wanted to spend more time with me.  When we left for home, he didn’t want to have regrets that he missed out on times to do things with me. I was blessed and had fun playing…

My computer crashed and it will be about a week before I can get a new one as we are in South Carolina. Will resume writing when I am able. Blessings to you.
