God's Rainbow

God’s Rainbow

VineWords Devotions and More

My daughter, who is a mental health counselor, came home from work and during dinner she proceeded to tell me about her day. Her youngest client was a child of four years old. Four! It broke my heart a child that young, who isn’t even in school yet, needed therapy. It devastated my mind. I felt as though I was on a spinning ride at a carnival that wouldn’t stop. …

consider the poor

Consider the Poor

VineWords Devotions and More

God blesses us when we consider the poor. There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore, I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. Deuteronomy 15:11 NIV I met a friend at a restaurant for an evening get-together. We were among the few who ventured out on a chilly winter night. After ordering, we found our seats. Within minutes, the food arrived with its tantalizing aroma. Taking that … 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. …

The Penny

The Penny

VineWords Devotions and More

While I was sitting on a bench in the park, I noticed the penny on the pathway.   SEE THE PENNY As people hurried by, no one gave that penny a second glance. It was, after all, only a penny–small and insignificant and not worth the time to stop and pick it up. Staring at the penny, I thought, By the world’s standards, I am not much different than that penny. To the government, I am known as a social … Continue reading →

Espanol: Sandra Stein: Mi Adopción

VineWords Devotions and More

Nosotros amamos a Dios porque él nos amó primero. ~1 Juan 4:19 NVI Yo crecí con una familia, pero no crecí dentro de una familia. La palabra “familia” no tenía mucho significado para mí. Sí, había un hombre, una mujer, y niños en la casa, y tal vez yo les llamaba Mama y Papa, pero nuestra familia no era lo que se suponía debía ser.  En una  familia debe existir amor. Yo noté desde mi niñez cómo otras familias vivían, … Continue reading →

Sandra Stein: Lessons on Rest

VineWords Devotions and More

Rarely do we get away from them. And most times, they’re what causes us more frustration and stress than we care to admit. Yet, we keep on doing those same things, refusing to rearrange our schedules to include time for rest. …

Sandra Stein: Embraced by “I Am”

VineWords Devotions and More

As I looked at the building, pangs of fear washed over me. Dare I enter? “It’s a germ magnet if there ever was one,” I muttered. I had second thoughts about going in, but the nausea and pain reminded me why I had to acquiesce. …

Sandra Stein: My Box of Uglies

These are a few of the words spoken over me as a child. Heartbreaking, demoralizing words that destroyed my self-image and stripped me of any confidence. …

Sandra Stein: The Heart of Worship

VineWords Devotions and More

We had been going to church for a few years but one thing I still didn’t understand is worship. I didn’t know how to worship God. How do I worship God? What is the meaning of worship? And most important, what is at the heart of its significance? …

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 →

Don’t Crash but Listen

KITE TROUBLE Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. ~Psalm 1:1-2 ESV Don’t crash but listen was a lesson Jeffery learned the hard way.  The March day was brisk and windy, making it perfect for flying a kite.  “Dad, can you … Continue reading →
