Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I gave all our bushes and shrubs a haircut!  Some really needed it as they had branches growing rather wild and sticking up to be noticed rather than symmetrical. Others had dead leaves and branches that needed to be cut out. As I was clipping away, I thought of how…

   Devotions from Judy’s heart When I went for a walk the other day, I saw a big tree that was broken off about 1/3 of the way up.  I was quite surprised to see green leafy branches growing out of the stump and looked almost like a bush that was 15’ off the ground.…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes it is good to speak up!!  On Saturday when we went to Brainerd, Al was going to take me to El Tequilas for lunch. I reminded him that it was really his turn to choose so we ended up at Culver’s.  Al saw that they had his favorite pumpkin…

Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I was going in the car and had to leave my cell phone home as it needed to be charged. I didn’t feel as comfortable driving as I couldn’t call if I needed help along the way. It made me think of how the Lord is never like…

   Devotions from Judy’s heart, Each day we are enjoying left-overs from Bo’s fantastic gourmet cooking. Although he went home, we are still partaking of what he left behind.
