Devotions from Judy’s heart Words are so important and have the power to build up or tear down. We have all said things we wish we could take back but it is too late. I’m sure we have all received words that have wounded us too. In Matt. 12 it says that we will have…

Devotions from Judy’s heart We are enjoying the grandkids so much but if you looked at our house, you would say it is rather messy. Does it matter? NO!
