Diane Virginia: Watch the Bubbles

VineWords Devotions and More

As my car crawled along the automated car wash track, my thoughts drifted to times past, when my husband and I would take our children through the car wash for the express purpose of playing, “Watch the Bubbles.” “Daddy, my bubble is racing yours!” our son would say. “Mine is turning swishy circles!” our daughter would say. I stroked my silver-steaked hair and prayed, “God, why do I still want to watch bubbles? My children are driving their own cars … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Wash Day

VineWords Devotions and More

It was “Wash Day.” Elise got right to work separating the laundry into piles. She loaded the washer, reached for the cleaning agents, and meticulously measured the bleach, detergent, and fabric softener, pouring each into their respective receptacles. Elise hit the start button. As soon as she glanced at the remaining piles, she realized she had made a terrible mistake. The white clothes were still on the floor. “No!” Elise exclaimed, jamming the stop-cycle button. She removed her permanent-press clothing … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Royal Appointment

VineWords Devotions and More

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Hebrews 13:2 NIV “Excuse me,” I said to the stranger who had leaned on my shopping cart. I thought about elbowing him, but I refrained. I was dealing with grief. Mom had just died, so I knew my emotions were raw. Our home Bible Study group wanted me to make chicken stew. I was painfully aware I couldn’t phone Mom for advice, and I had never made … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Show ‘n Tell

VineWords Devotions and More

A GRANDMOTHER AND A GRANDDAUGHTER “We taught the daycare children by example, and you were with me.” Mrs. Gertrude said, tickling her granddaughter, Sharon’s side. “I remember,” Sharon said, “but I’m twelve now!” Mrs. Gertrude smiled as her ‘little Sharon’ donned her best grown up imitation. “Do you remember our career center? You and your friends pretended to be scientists, engineers, beauticians, firefighters, or ballerinas by wearing hats. Then we’d share read-to-me books while we passed the featured hat around.” “It was fun,” Sharon … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Our Soon-Coming King

VineWords Devotions and More

Recently a lady from our church shared a dream she’d had about sounding the shofar to announce the returning of our King Jesus. The dream was riveting; I couldn’t stop thinking about it. “Religion doesn’t work, but a relationship with Jesus does.” Prepare to meet your Soon-Coming King. Although we cannot know the day or the hour Jesus will return, we do know we are in the season of Christ’s return. Jesus tells us to consider the parable of the fig tree:  “Now … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Up!

VineWords Devotions and More

And seeing the multitudes, he [Jesus] went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, saying, Blessed….  Matthew 5:1-3a KJV One little word–“up”–could so easily be overlooked as we read The Sermon on the Mount. But if we notice it, we will understand the reason for Jesus’ success in ministry. He knew that He needed to go up. In fact, He felt compelled to go up, believing His ascent … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: Unseen Artist Revealed

VineWords Devotions and More

The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty. Zephaniah 3:17a KJV Dad stood behind me, dabbing oil paint on the canvas. My hand rest atop his, so it felt like I was painting, but I knew who held the brush. Soon, Dad slid his hand away, and I grasped the brush. His hand was still underneath mine so I still felt confident. Before I knew it, he was smiling, with his hand to his chin. Occasionally I’d … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: The 24-7 Follower

VineWords Devotions and More

Be ye followers of me.  1 Corinthians 4:16b KJV We’ve heard the line, “Follow me on Facebook.” We do follow friends on Facebook and on other social platforms. We enjoy reading their advice, laughing when they share a funny incident, celebrating their accomplishments, and we also enjoy praying for them. Most have common interests; others have talents we aspire to learn, but the underlying reason that motivates us to connect is our common interest in the Lord Jesus Christ. We … Continue reading →

Diane Virginia: The Speeding Ticket (3-Min)

VineWords Devotions and More

Casting all your care upon Him: for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 NKJV The reflection of blue lights flashed in my rear-view mirror. Embarrassed, I pulled over. “Ma’am, can you explain why you were speeding?” “Officer, I wasn’t paying attention.” When I got home, I looked up potential consequences: one-year revocation of license, lawyer and court costs, license points…. I felt nauseous. Rather than worrying further, I bowed, “Father God, this license is Yours to take or to … Continue reading →

Shanda Neighbors: Seasonal Discomfort

I accepted the lie of helplessness. I took off my armor, replaced it with my electric blanket, and laid on the couch. Only after my timeout came the realization; I’m not called to understanding, but to a relationship with the God who understands it all. I am to remain connected to Him, led by His Spirit, and clothed in the armor He provides. Snacks are no defense. I became one for the enemy that day….
