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 →

Break Time

Break Time

VineWords Devotions and More

On impact, I sprained one ankle and felt a bone snap in the other. With my grandson’s help, I hobbled down the remaining stairs to the car. How ironic that this event occurred on Thanksgiving Day. …

The Recital

The Recital

VineWords Devotions and More

I would rather have been riding my bike. The moment of truth came as my name was called. I took my seat on the piano bench and play the song I had practiced many times. This was the moment! I would either see my instructor beam with pride, or cringe. The thought that my family, and practically half the town’s population was in attendance didn’t offer much comfort. I focused on what my instructor whispered to me as I placed the sheet music on the rack, “If you happen to hit a wrong note, just keep playing through the song.”

That is much easier said then done. …

Kindness Matters

Kindness Matters

VineWords Devotions and More

Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. ~Colossians 3:12 NIV It’s that time of year when it’s cold enough for crystal flakes of snow to fall from the sky, covering the landscape in a picturesque blanket of white. It’s also a time to remember that kindness matters.   Despite its beauty, snow has challenges. Travel can be difficult. As I did, I met a lady who graced me with … Continue reading →

Martin Wiles: God Moments

VineWords Devotions and More

Mom’s a sucker for a piano. She’s been playing since she was a small child. She dreamed of becoming a concert pianist—which she probably could have accomplished—but she married my dad and became a preacher’s wife instead. But she never lost her love for tickling the ivories—and showing off a little at the same time. …

The Fruit of Kindness

The Fruit of Kindness

“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 →

Confessions from a Homecoming Queen

  Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. ~James 5:16 NIV UNEXPECTED CONFESSION Confessions from a homecoming queen are sometimes difficult.       The voice on the phone jolted my memory. Wasn’t this a girl from college asking me, a former homecoming queen, to attend a celebration for an upcoming event? Years ago, I shunned her. Rumor had … Continue reading →
