Devotions from Judy’s heart  While we were on our way home Friday, we stopped at a Culvers for lunch. A family came in with 4 adorable little children ( probably around 2, 4, 6 years old and a baby) and we never heard one word from their booth. The parents were deaf and the children…

Devotions from Judy’s heart As we came home today from our trip, my knees were a little sore from running up and down stairs as I played many games of “Fire” with the grandkids. My chins and elbow were scraped from tripping on the cement while playing basketball and HORSE.  Am I sorry I did…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We have been enjoying so much beauty as we have traveled a lot lately, especially last week in the mountains.  I read from Ps. 98: 4 & 8  “Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music…let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains…

Devotions from Judy’s heart “Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him all creatures here below.” Every day is a day to live in gratitude and praise. The black Pastor at the S.C. Base Chapel church said we should wake each day being so thankful we are alive and entering another day to praise…

Devotions from Judy’s heart In Jer. 17:10 it says the Lord searches the heart and examines the mind. Yesterday I went on my own search too and it was to find all the dust balls in the house. It is something I like to do for Brenda as neither of us likes to dust.  I…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I read from Romans 14:13 ,”Let us no longer pass judgment on another, but resolve instead never to put a stumbling block in the way of another.”  We are to show understanding love. While at my brothers, I helped him tie his shoes, start the fire in his gas fireplace,…

Devotions from Judy’s heart This morning I read in Luke 21 about the poor widow who put in 2 small coins in the temple treasury. It was all she had to live on!  What a contrast to the Biltmore Estate we toured yesterday with the enormous oak dinner table that seated 38, the 43 bathrooms,…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Today we were in the Blue Ridge at sunrise and there was a mist covering the mountains.  It was hard to know where the mountains ended and where the heavens began. We were literally in the clouds. I felt like shouting,  “Be exalted O God, above the heavens, let your glory…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I think this trip is showing me once more how to live in the present moment. On our way to Charleston, we didn’t have a rigid time schedule and we stopped along the way at places that sparked our interest.  We went to “The Cathedral of All Souls” which was a…
