from outsider to insider

From Outsider to Insider

VineWords Devotions and More

Most others in the church were lifelong residents and related. Oh, we were loved and appreciated, but if it came … Continue reading →

Peace

Peace

VineWords Devotions and More

ANXIETY WITHIN And Jesus said to him, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover my sight.” ~ Mark 10:51 ESV I could hear the low rumble of my car’s motor as the cool air from the air conditioner blew strands of hair into my face. Peace eluded me. The summer heat in the South pushed a band of perspiration across my forehead, and with one swipe of my hand, I pushed … Continue reading →

As normal, I practiced the teaching as I drove. God gives me deeper insight and great analogies while driving. The teaching for that weekend was entitled, “Shining for Jesus in This Dark … Continue reading →

The Best Day of My Life

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.  ~James 1:17   The year was 1967. The nurse handed my firstborn son to me, and I quickly peeled the blanket back to see if all fingers and toes were there. They were. That was the best day of my life. After more than thirty hours of labor and a forceps-assisted birth, … Continue reading →

Gift of Thorns by Julie Souza Bradley Lilly

Gift of Thorns

VineWords Devotions and More

Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:19b-20 NIV When I was young, I remember watching my cousins’ excitement as they watched a football game on television. But not everything in life is exciting. Sometimes, God gives us a gift of thorns.  With every successful play, they shouted, high-fived, and danced around as if they were the ones on … Continue reading →

I now notice things I once didn’t: … Continue reading →
