Devotions from Judy’s heart Have you noticed how some people get hurt by words we might say? Or maybe we have overreacted when something was said to us. Most often it is because we have been wounded in an area and their words “sting”.  One day when I walked to a friend’s house, she handed…

Devotional from Judy’s heart Have you ever been given something that was of no use to you? Or have you bought something that didn’t fit your real need?  Last week we were at L&M shopping for some welding gloves for me to handle the ashes from our wood stove. While there the sales person said,…

Devotions from Judy’s heart  I am just back from my prayer walk and it is a windy but sunny day with everything covered over in a white blanket. I saw 3 deer prance to the right of me and 2 eagles on the lake eating fish left by the fisherman. It’s great to visually see…
