Yesterday was a beautiful day and I took a walk to my neighbor’s.  On the way I noticed an area that had many fallen trees that had been there for quite some time. It made me think of people who have died or fallen like those trees and are no longer alive, yet they…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We all have need of discernment and to listen to the spirit. There are times we sense something is not quite right even though we may not know the specifics. The other day I was vacuuming and it didn’t seem to be picking up well. I had checked underneath the day…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I read in Ps. 92, “You have made me glad by your work; at the work of your hands I sing for joy.”  Often as I go on my prayer walk I marvel at what God has made for me to enjoy. Just the other day  as I was walking on…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart We can read verses of God’s desire to bless us but at times we may feel God is withholding or withdrawing blessings.  But the truth is, as it says in Ps. 84:11, “No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly.” He delights to give to us, his…

   Devotions from Judy’s heart Go Green! We hear that a lot in our world today!! When I was walking yesterday I was aware of how the woods are dressing up in green…little by little. Each day I see more green but as yet, the trees are lacey looking but not nearly filled out. But…

Devotions from Judy’s heart In our veggie garden the rows are marked with the specific kind of seeds that were planted.

 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 We’ve all heard that laughter is good for the soul and haven’t you felt “lighter” after you have had a good laugh?  It says in Prov. 17:22 “A joyful heart is good medicine.”  When I was reading The Ultimate Gift, Jim Stovall said that, “It’s impossible to experience fear, hate, or…
