Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday afternoon I was a “go-pher” again and helped my cousin and hubby work on their outdoor brick oven until dusk. We are all realizing this is going to be a lesson in patience as it is taking much longer than we anticipated. Perseverance is the name of the game!  One…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday there was a large group of us at church making Lefse to sell. Russ was in charge and we were all given assignments so that the operation would run smoothly. Each person was important to the whole for if one part of the system was slow or nonfunctioning, the rest…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Last night before I went to bed I received precious e-mails from each of our granddaughters who are 7 and 9 years old. My heart was warmed as I read about their day and Paige questioned some things she didn’t understand etc. Lily wasn’t able to write as much but the…

I am using Devotions from Kurt. He wrote this to us a short time ago and I wanted to share his words with you. “I took some sermon notes yesterday and I thought I would share them.   The sermon was about creating margin in your life in order to create space in our lives…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Today I   read from Luke 18 when Jesus says for us to “always to pray and not lose heart”.  Sometimes we pray but in the back of our mind we think the situation is impossible. But we don’t have to understand how God will answer our prayers but only to commit…

We have gifts that differ from one another and we are to use them!  ( Rom. 12:6)  Sometimes we’ve probably all been guilty of filling an empty place, without asking for the…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart 10-15 Last night I ate an enormous piece of choc birthday cake with 4 different kinds of choc filling. It was simply scrumptious and I am still feeling full today! I can’t imagine eating something that rich and sweet all the time and yet that is often what we want the…

Devotions from Judy’s heart Let us not presume that we KNOW!  We can go by the law of averages and think that we have a 99% chance something won’t happen, but we could be in that 1%. We don’t really know! Our pride thinks we do know and we may advise others as to what…

Devotions from Judy’s heart When I went downstairs a couple days ago, I noticed an aroma from the cupboard being particularly strong with an onion smell. I checked out the bag under the sink and sure enough in the bottom was a rotten onion. It had already started to blacken the onions on either side…
