Devotions from Judy’s heart I’m sure we have all met people that left a lasting imprint on our lives. When we were in Michigan we met the pastor of Immanuel Lutheran at their 125th anniversary celebration. I was struck by the warmth and love that he expressed to all those around him. He went out…

Devotions from Judy’s heart  as I sat by Lake Superior At Presque Isle I looked out at a large island and some inlets but couldn’t see on the other side.  Everything looked so beautiful in the morning mist but much was hidden too. I thought of Glory and the remainder of my days on earth.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart This morning Al and I drove to Presque Isle where we have spent many mornings in the years past.  It is a special holy place to us, as God has often spoken to us there, giving us direction for the future. In between the dark clouds, we saw the sunrise over…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I just got back from sweeping the deck, patio, and long steps down to the lake. Also, did some weeding as I see greens peeking up between the rocks where they shouldn’t be.. Today I am still catching up as I have let things go for over 3 weeks in order…

. Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes we need to admit we don’t know and to ask an expert. Even Jesus disciples weren’t able to cast out demons from a boy and Jesus told them this kind came out by prayer and fasting only. Jesus is the supreme expert!! Lately we have needed an expert too….like…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes it seems like many things go wrong at once and yet we are told to be thankful for trials.  The other day, after getting our new boat home, through the channel and into our lake and dock, the new motor would not start.  The grandkids were disappointed as we were…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Words are so important and have the power to build up or tear down. We have all said things we wish we could take back but it is too late. I’m sure we have all received words that have wounded us too.  In Matt. 12 it says that we will have…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We are enjoying the grandkids so much but if you looked at our house, you would say it is rather messy. Does it matter? NO!  Usually things are in their place, but the counter is cluttered; the Scrabble board is on the floor with games going on continually; comics here and…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We don’t know how many days we have here on earth but let us live them fully. In Ps. 102 it says our days pass quickly as smoke and are like evening shadows.  We are also told to number our days that we can get a heart of wisdom. ( Ps.…
