Wallflowers Can Dance

VineWords Devotions and More

I stepped outside my comfort zone, stepped into a Soul Dancing class, and discovered that wallflowers can dance.   Twice each week, I showed up in comfy shoes and a big smile, along with twenty-five to thirty other folks with varying levels of dancing ability. I’ve never thought I had natural rhythm, and I have had few opportunities to prove it. It was all I could manage to keep my right and left straight while counting continuously. I laughed a … Continue reading →

Taking Hold of the Secret by Julie Souza Bradley Lilly

Taking Hold of the Secret

VineWords Devotions and More

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 →

The Fruit of Faithfulness

The Fruit of Faithfulness

  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 →
