The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

VineWords Devotions and More

“Would you be so kind as to give us a drink of water from your well?” Someone needed the fruit of kindness.   My mother passed down a story told by her grandmother, who grew up on a farm located on a dusty, rural road. At that time, many people walked wherever they went, having no access to any type of transportation. One hot summer day, a family traveling on foot stopped by my great-grandparents’ farm for a drink of … Continue reading →

Lessons from a Spider by Sandra Stein

Lessons from a Spider

VineWords Devotions and More

I am not a spider lover. I don’t hate them. They do have a purpose on earth, but they invade homes, drop off ceilings, and make scary movies scarier. Walking into their webs makes me do ninja moves I didn’t know I could. Then something happened. I felt compassion for one spider. …

God's Favorite Christmas Gift

God’s Favorite Christmas Gift

VineWords Devotions and More

My favorite Christmas was the time I put my name on every gift under the tree. I have a large family with five sisters plus my mom and dad. My aunt and uncle came over Christmas Eve to stay the night with us. While everyone was busy preparing for Christmas Day, I sat on the floor by the Christmas tree with wrapping paper, scissors and a pen, making new gift tags with my name on them for each one. …

Growth Spurts

Growth Spurts

VineWords Devotions and More

For spiritual growth, the Bible is our measuring scale. It guides us as we go through life. Gaining knowledge from the Scripture is our protein, and grace is our carbohydrates. When we exercise these spiritual building blocks through godly living and prayer, we mature and grow as God intended.

Confessions from a Homecoming Queen

Confessions from a Homecoming Queen

  Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. ~James 5:16 NIV UNEXPECTED CONFESSION Confessions from a homecoming queen are sometimes difficult.       The voice on the phone jolted my memory. Wasn’t this a girl from college asking me, a former homecoming queen, to attend a celebration for an upcoming event? Years ago, I shunned her. Rumor had … Continue reading →

Taking Hold of the Secret

Taking Hold of the Secret

Taking hold of the secret makes life easier.  How far would five small barley loaves and two small fish go among so many people?” Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. – John 6:9,11 NIV This testimony of God’s miraculous power is told in every Sunday School class.  I love the disparity between the needs–a hungry crowd of 5,000–and what little … Continue reading →
