Devotions from Judy’s heart Have you ever prayed that God would help you to see another person through His eyes and not yours?  How God sees things is often so different from our short-sighted vision. I just read this morning of how Jesus saw Simon ( who often put his foot in his mouth), and…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We just got home from seeing my dad in the cities after leaving yesterday morning at 5 a.m.  I had prayed in the night if we should go and it just seemed like yes, we should. Our times are truly in His hands as David  says in Ps.  32:14-15.  “But I…

Devotions from Judy’s heart One day I had just listened to Carrie Underwood’s amazing song of “How Great Thou Art” on YouTube.

Devotions from Judy’s heart Do we live on the surface or do we experience abundant life that Jesus promised us in John 10:10?  We have a choice to live superficially or live deeply and abundantly. When we had the farewell coffee time for our interim pastor, our council president knitted him a beautiful prayer shawl.…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Do you know we are still eating some left-overs from when Kurt and his friends were here?  The food they cooked was fantastic and we are still enjoying and savoring the results.  When they left the cabin, they left behind some wonderful gourmet dishes and made me think of what we…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Surprise!! How many times have we been surprised by a party, maybe someone’s kindness to us, a gift etc?   It may be a simple kindness like my neighbor who picks me up for Line Dancing and has my passenger seat all heated up by the time she arrives at our house.…
