where do you live

Where Do You Live

VineWords Devotions and More

If asked, “Where do you live,” we could quickly provide our home address complete with zip code. We would probably hesitate, though, if asked where our heart resides. The answer could prove insightful if we paused and asked ourselves that question. My daughter had an opportunity to pick up some fresh star fruits from a friend and asked me to ride with her. We allowed the GPS to lead us along the route without much thought until our final turn. … Continue reading →

saying goodbye

Saying Goodbye

VineWords Devotions and More

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever. ~Revelation 21:4 NLT We fought to swallow the lumps in our throats and blinked away the tears. Then, we proceeded with saying goodbye. Our daughter had always been my run-away bride. No man had been able to tame her. Some had come close—one even close enough to give her two children—but in the … Continue reading →

Milk

Milk

VineWords Devotions and More

Milk sustained my infant daughter, but since I was going back to work, I needed her to accept formula. She staunchly refused, knowing this substitute was not the real deal.

The Best Day of My Life

The Best Day of My Life

VineWords Devotions and More

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 →

Watch Wait and Pray

Watch, Wait, and Pray

VineWords Devotions and More

But for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Micah 7:7 ESV All we could do was watch, wait, and pray. My wife and I became empty nesters when our last two children moved out and shared an apartment. Doing so was a huge step for them and us. Thirty-one years had passed since we’d been on our own. I now notice things I once didn’t: … Continue reading →

Surmounting the Insurmountable

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.

Martin Wiles: Passing the Heritage

VineWords Devotions and More

Of Mom and Dad’s three sons, somehow, I received most of the family heirlooms. As family members aged, they either offered me these items or I asked for them. Since I’m a nostalgic kind of guy, I grabbed every piece of furniture and nick knack I could. …

Martin Wiles: Doing the Family Thing

VineWords Devotions and More

One year before, the app showed my wife and I had joined our daughter and her two boys for a trip to Granddad’s Apples in Hendersonville, NC—a trip we made annually, either with them or someone else. This particular year, things had gotten busy. Had the app not reminded me, we may have forgotten to go. …

the same beareth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

No Light No Beauty

No Light No Beauty

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech . . . their words to the ends of the world.  ~ Ps. 19:1-2a, 4b NIV With no light, no beauty exists. Recently, my heart eagerly waited to wake, grab my Bible and journal, and settle on my front porch. September’s cooler mornings bade me soak in the ever-changing sky before the sun appeared and shone its glorious … Continue reading →

Counting Woes

Counting Woes

Can you remember having a day like this when you counted “woes” instead of blessings? The enemy of our soul is happy when we are distracted by the trials that we are experiencing. Then we won’t notice God’s beauty surrounding us. My mind was on me and all I needed to accomplish, instead of remembering all Jesus has done for me. …

No Place to Sit

No Place to Sit

Prior to the coming of the Messiah, the priest had to repeat the same duties for the same people over and over, year after year. Those sacrifices were only a temporary fix to an ongoing problem. The High priest was constantly on his feet in service for the needs of the people, and no doubt he was worn out at the end of the day. ..
