Devotions from Judy’s heart In our veggie garden the rows are marked with the specific kind of seeds that were planted. When we read the onion marker, we expect onions to grow there and carrots to grow in the row marked carrots etc.  Each row is different because of what was planted. It’s almost like…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday a friend and I planted seeds of carrots, lettuce, radishes, spinach, Kohlrabi, onions, and beets in our joint garden. By faith I believe these seeds will produce, but for now, they are in good soil and being exposed to the sun and rain as we patiently wait.  Each seed has…

Devotions from Judy’s heart It is the little things that we are given to enjoy that we often overlook and take for granted. I wanted to share what I received about Lisa Beamer – If you remember, she’s the wife of Todd Beamer who said ‘Let’s Roll!’ and helped take down the plane over Pennsylvania that…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart, We all make mistakes and I made one the other day that was so disappointing. I was excited as I wrote several devotionals after I came back from a prayer walk and felt “inspired.”  But I’m not sure where in the process of copying, pasting and printing it happened, but the…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Early this morning I went downstairs to get some potatoes as we were having Kurt and buddies for dinner. Much to my surprise when I opened the lid to the potato bin, an awful odor hit me. As you can guess there were a few rotten ones in the bag and…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We have new lamps in both of our upstairs bedrooms and what a difference it has made. I had a short lamp in the shape of a pump from my childhood days that gave only minimal light. With this higher lamp, it gives so much more light and I can see…

Devotions from Judy’s heart In my kitchen I have a small sunflower shaped vase given me by a special friend that holds an actual sunflower. It sits by my sink and is a constant reminder of my friend, making me smile and giving me a boost in my faith. It is also prompts me to…

Devotions from Judy’s heart God works good even if we are not aware at the time!  Last week I went to a meeting where two people who are in charge did not show up. So the 3 of us that came just visited a while and went home. But that day I went a little…
