Devotions from Judy’s heart It’s important to read the signs of the present times as things can change rapidly. We are to listen, be aware, and take heed. When we were at Sanibel we arrived on a sunny gorgeous day. We heard on the news that the weather was about to change so Stanton encouraged…

Devotions from Judy’s heart  While in Sanibel we went to a Community church and heard Dr. Daryl Donovan preach, and we all went home with so many things to ponder. He reminded us that we can change! All people CAN change through the power of God. He used Jacob as an example of someone who…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart I don’t think I have ever seen so many mansions as we did at Sanibel and up the coast. Gorgeous houses and one after another on the roads we traveled. But we rarely saw any activity. It was if no one was home in so many houses. We have…

  Devotions from Judy’s heart While at Sanibel we stayed in Matt’s room that was decorated with ocean fish, shells, lighthouses and huge baits etc. The whole décor was one of the ocean.  It would not fit our North Woods theme in MN any more than ours would fit his. Why do we often take…

Devotions from Judy’s heart As we are traveling I have been reading books and I just finished one by George Mac Donald. It spoke to me about pride and how it separates us from God and from others in the Body of Christ. We can outwardly be doing the right things and even be prideful…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I was struck in my readings of how we can hide from our pain but hiding out gets real lonely. We all have pain and we are tested in our faith as we go through trials. Do we believe God is God?  Can we trust He can take us through our…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Each morning when the grandkids got up, I had a little prize waiting that they got to open after breakfast. It gives me great joy to see their anticipation and delight, for when we love our hearts want to give. I have been reading in Exodus about the children of Israel…

Devotions from Judy’s heart When we arrived at Kurt’s Sunday we are usually greeted outside as the kids are watching and waiting. But this time we didn’t see a soul and it looked like no one was home. I opened the garage door and we unloaded the car and were going upstairs when all of…
