The Fruit of Faithfulness

The Fruit of Faithfulness

VineWords Devotions and More

  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ~Galatians 5:22-23a CSB “Come say ‘Hello’ to Mary.” Billy smiled as I approached their table. I was about to see the fruit of faithfulness.   I was sure she did not remember me. Her brain tumor had taken this once-talented artist and turned her into a shadow of her previous self. But as I greeted Mary, she shared the same gracious smile … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Breakfast of Champions

VineWords Devotions and More

I find myself thinking, Are You calling my name, Lord? Is this good promise applicable to me? I try to trust God, but when problems spill like cornflakes hitting the kitchen floor and I’m scrambling to pick up the crumbs, I wonder if God’s blessings really are for me, or if I’m a lost cause. I know I shouldn’t think this way, but the reality is sometimes those doubts do creep in…

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 →
