Devotions from Judy’s heart The other day I went down to the cabin to vacuum it, as Kurt and his friends are coming one last time for this year. I noticed the second-hand vacuum was in bad shape as the bag was duct taped and sagging etc. When I turned it on and tried to…

Devotions from Judy’s heart In Eph. 6:8 we are told to “Keep alert with all perseverance.”  I have seen perseverance up front as my cousin and her hubby continue to work on their outdoor brick oven.  Just last Sunday when we came from church they were outside in the cold rain laying more brick for…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart One day last week I walked to a friend’s house and just before I turned into her road, Molly, her dog, began, barking. She was outside and saw me coming. Her master tried to restrain her but to no avail. She wanted to greet me and she persisted until he let…

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.

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…

Devotions from Judy’s heart I read this scripture from Isaiah 64:1 today, “O that you would tear open the heavens and come down!”. I think that all of us have felt at times that there was a ceiling on our prayers and that our prayers didn’t seem to go beyond. Yesterday we talked to Ann’s…

 Devotions from Judy’s heart, Isn’t it wonderful how God has equipped us for everything He has purposed for us to do in life? 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…
