Devotions from Judy’s heart  I read from “Jesus Calling”  that we need to enjoy life more, relax, walk through the day with childlike delight in Him, savor every blessing, etc. I thought of last night and how we received hospitality in our own home as Kurt, Bo and Jeff prepared a gourmet dinner for us.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart When I was swimming in the pool of our hotel in the mountains, I was glad to be all alone as I like to pray while I swim. But in the pool were several floating noodles that would keep drifting into my path and impeding my progress. Finally I removed them…

   Devotions from Judy’s heart While at Kurt’s we had quite a laugh as our 4 year old grandson, Grant, all of a sudden walked down the sidelines at the soccer game all humped over and knees bent wide apart. When we asked him about it, he said he was pretending to walk like grandpa!…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart Wouldn’t it be great if life was all forward and upward?  This past week we walked on mountain trails that wound around, went up and down, and were anything but straight. And isn’t that really what life is like? Certainly not a straight line!  Richard Rohr (Falling Upward) talks about…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Our grandson John Mark knows he is loved so much by his parents as he receives their care, attention, hugs, and words of love and affirmation. His parents also know he is not “perfect” but still love him for who he is. We all need people in our lives who see…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We are enjoying all the special amenities this hotel in the mountains offers and feel “spoiled”!  It’s almost like home with dishwasher, sofa, recliner etc.  This is a treat as we don’t usually get such a luxurious room and so many services. Now this is fine for this time, but what…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Today as we were in the mountains, we noticed how quickly the weather changes.  Al had on shorts and was comfortable when the sun was out, but it wasn’t long before it clouded up and it got quite cool. Then before we knew it, there were raindrops and we had to…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Did you read the news where a man in N.C.  gave out $5 bills on his birthday as he was so grateful he had a home, job etc. No strings attached, just giving money to strangers from a full heart. Do we bargain with the Lord and tell Him, if you…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday afternoon we arrived in Colorado Springs, after much anticipation and hours of traveling. We came with birthday gifts for John Mark and had a celebration last night. What 3 year old doesn’t like gifts and he is no exception. He tore open each gift and ohhhed  and ahhhhed , even…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart When I packed for our trip last week, I was not anticipating the weather turning so cold as we traveled south. While we were at Lily’s soccer game, I was freezing and couldn’t wait to get home to warm up. We have no control over the weather and have to deal…
