Nurturing

"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets."
Matthew 2:7

Once upon a time there was a little grape stem. This stem was so glad to be alive...She drank water and minerals from the soil and grew and grew. She was young and strong and could manage quite well...All by Herself.

But then, the wind was cruel, the rain was harsh, the snow was not one bit understanding, and the little grape stem suffered. She drooped, weak and suffering.

It would be so easy to stop trying to grow, to stop trying to live. And the grape stem felt poor! The winter was long, and the stem was weary.

But then the little grape stem heard a voice. It was another grape stem calling out to her…“Here, reach out...hang on to me.â€

Well, my best intentions are always to have the next day's devotion up the night before as there are some that like to have it for their morning quiet time. Unfortunately, there are times life happens and I'm not able to do that. In the case of late devotions I try to have them up as soon in the morning as possible.
