Devotions from Judy’s heart Sometimes things get worse before they get better. A couple weeks ago I did some deeper cleaning. I pulled out the screens, dusted the blinds and base boards, and washed the windows.  I was hoping no one would stop over as it was a mess with all the cleaning supplies,…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday we were in the cities and after our dermatology appointments I had a chance to shop. I always ask the Lord to lead me as there is a whole mall full of sales and it is like a scavenger hunt to find where they are hiding! I had a…

Devotions from Judy’s heart On Al’s way to church for the Men’s group a couple days ago, two deer were ahead of him in the middle of our gravel road. He honked at them, but they just kept running in front of the car for about 200 yards, until they finally went into the woods.…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart While reading Steve Smith’s book, “The Jesus Life”, I was again reminded how important it is to take time to be quiet and go apart as Jesus did. He would engage the crowds but then He always made time to rejuvenate with time alone with his Father. Luke describes one…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday the sun was shining as I took my prayer walk and decided to walk the labyrinth at my cousins. Since the snow has gone, I have not done that, and it felt right to slow down and just take some moments to be quiet and pray. As I walked the…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday at our Renewal group we were in Romans 8 and talked about living the Spirit filled life.   “It is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God”.  We shared instances when we just knew that it was the Lord and felt led by the…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart This morning I read from Ps. 112 about how the godly man who fears the Lord is generous, righteous, trusting, gracious, merciful, just, etc. It says that his offspring will be blessed and mighty in the land!  As I read this Psalm I thought of my dad and mom who…
