    Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I was on my laptop computer and it said my battery was low but it was plugged into my charger so wondered why. Soon it hibernated and I looked at the other end of the cord and it had come out from the wall. All the time  I thought my…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart Hang Loose!! Make room! Give Space! Today I got up early and took out of the freezer ribs, twice baked potatoes and peanut cake etc but a call from my uncle changed everything.

     Devotions from Judy’s heart Yesterday I gave all our bushes and shrubs a haircut!  Some really needed it as they had branches growing rather wild and sticking up to be noticed rather than symmetrical.

  • Years ago I read and memorized a passage from Proverbs 5 that warned about adultery.  I was a young father and husband so I took the words to heart.  “Drink water from your own cistern, running water from your own well” (v 15).   Then verse 18 reads as follows, “May your fountain be blessed, and may you…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart Recently I read Max Lacado’s new book, Grace, and it is a good to remember how much we need to trust God’s grace. We mess up every day and so every day we are in need of His unlimited grace. Satan loves to accuse not only of what we may have…

    Devotions from Judy’s heart Today I read the book of Esther and for a while it looked like wicked Haman will win and Mordecai and all Jews will die. A very tight situation!  For us also, doesn’t it seem often that we are losing and the enemy is winning as we go through difficult situations?  …
