Leddy Hammock This is my prayer: an understanding heart, a heart so full of love that I see good everywhere I look, loving God with all my heart and loving others as myself, a clear mind, an open heart, living in peace with all.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to "Why Wait?" by Daniel Nahmod: Why wait for that wake-up call? Why wait, until it's too late? There is only today. Why wait? Why would we keep a dream a secret all our life? There is only today. Why wait? Why wait before that pouring rain, before that hurricane? There is only today. Why wait? Let the future fall away. Let regret evaporate. There is only today. Wh...

David Roth Inspired by lyrics by David Roth: "I'm learning how to find my way – so far, so good." "I count my blessings every day – so far, so good." "One more moment, one more minute, I take the good and get right in it – so far, so good." "I've got a place to lay my head – so far, so good. To everyone whose not so blessed, I say a prayer and send my best, and now I lay me down to rest – so far,...

Leddy Hammock From lyrics by Eddie Watkins, Jr.: We're not alone and there's nothing we have to do on our own, because we are the place where God lives, moves and breathes and has Its being. We are the place where God shows up.  

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to "If You Want To Be Happy" (Words and music by Sloan Wainwright, Sue Riley, Jana Stanfield): "Don't believe all that you think – if you want to be happy." "If you want to be happy, be careful what you say. Resist the urge to criticize when things don't go your way. You can't make yourself feel better putting other people down. Remember words can hurt you when the...

Inspired by lyrics to Memory Makers, by Sue Riley . "After the dazzle of Christmas, the holiday frazzle is past. Peace descends in the silent night, at last." We give thanks for the memory makers: the wise ones who shared with us the unforgettable moments that we treasure still. We give thanks for the memory makers: the dear ones of Christmases past who kept alive their faith in the shining potent...

The Night You Were Born Inspired by words by Nancy Tillman: On the night or day that each of us was born, the moon smiled with such wonder that the stars peeked in to see each of us, and the night wind whispered, "Life will never be the same." Because there had never been anyone like any of us, ever in the world. So enchanted with every child was the wind and the rain, that they whispered the soun...

Leddy Hammock Stables, by Peter Mayer In Bethlehem a manger waits, long ago and so today, Where hatred-weary people pray Love will come and lay there. And so do countless stables stand in hearts as harsh as desert lands, Rough shelters in the wind and sand, so Love will come and stay there –. Love that opens fists of hate, heaps of gold on beggars' plates, Love that shows a kindly face to enemies...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to "Search the Sky," by Sloan Wainwright: "Search the sky for that star, star of light, star of love – bright enough to guide believers from afar, seeking their rumored newborn King. And when we wish upon it, we wish for our only gift, peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves. Search the face of the child, shining with the spirit of Christmases in yo...

Leddy Hammock Nothing is impossible. It is never too late. Nothing is too much for God, no challenge too great. Hold onto your faith. The Truth will be revealed. Nothing is incurable. All things can be healed.

Leddy Hammock Based on lyrics by Eddiw Watkins, Jr., to "All Is Well" Today I declare freedom from yesterday, mistakes of the past. Today all things are made brand new. And it feels so good to know that all is well and unfolding as it should. I can change my reality by changing my mind. Perfect peace, joy and happiness is yours and it's mine. I am loved and so are you, and it feels so good to know...

Leddy Hammock Based on lyrics to "Keep the Table Set" by David Roth and Tom Ryan: God has prepared a feast for me and has set the table for me to enjoy every good thing. My mind set is to expect the best. In all my life, I give thanks in advance, expecting good and only good. I shine all my dishes with my dreams and my wishes. I keep the table set. I believe that God's will for all people is good...

Chelley Seibert I am brave enough to claim for my just reward. I am brave enough to face a tall challenge. I am brave enough to let go of the past and follow my calling. I am brave enough to follow my inner guidance and do one thing that scares me, every day.

Judy Tafelski As the seasons change, I choose to "fall back" on the Truth of Spirit and let life be easy now (inspired by lyrics by Karen Drucker): "Let it be easy. Now that I see the light, I won't work on, day and night. I vow to take good care of me. Let it be easy. I don't need to run a race. I'm choosing ease and grace, enjoying the ride. Let it be easy. I heard a voice calling to me, 'Let it...

Leddy Hammock Bitterness gets me nowhere. I wander until I remember that God hears my prayers and guides me home. I am not bitter or uncertain now. I am a royal child of the Most High destined for unlimited possibilities. Even when it seems laughable to believe things will work out for me, I have faith that God's plans for me are good. There is joy in my heart! No one owns me. I am neither angry,...

Leddy Hammock Inspired by words of Nimo Patel in "Being Kind" — I just sit and pray in silence and God shows me the signs. I open my eyes and realize we are fine, one small act at a time. Small acts we do together, even though maybe alone, change the world for the better, so we can call it home. And this is life: as we know, when our hearts are aligned, the magic that unfolds, one small act at a t...

Leddy Hammock "On the day that we met . . . I noticed a crown on the top of your head . . . .I always knew just what your crown meant. It meant that you were MAGNIFICENT." "That means you are grand from your toes to your chin. Take a deep breath, and let that sink in . . . . and it means, like a star, YOU WERE BORN TO SHINE . . . ." "Whatever it is you choose to do, no one can do it exactly like y...

Leddy Hammock from I'd Know You Anywhere" by Nancy Tillman If one day we're walking and talking, just us, and you looked different, "I might be surprised, but just for a while. I'd know it was you by your magical smile." Even if you had been away for a long time and didn't look at all like yourself, "I'd say, 'My, my . . . that is quite a disguise!' But I'd know it was you by the gleam in your eye...

Leddy Hammock from You're Here for a Reason by Nancy Tilllman "You're here for a reason, you certainly are. The world would be different without you, by far. If not for your hands and your eyes and your feet, the world, like a puzzle, would be incomplete. Even the smallest of things that you do blossom and multiply far beyond you." . . . "You're here for a reason. If you think you're not, I would...

Leddy Hammock I am safe and secure, for I know who I am: a beloved child of my infinitely rich and generous Father-Mother God. I am secure and well-provided, for I know my treasure is in my mind, not in my things. I am secure in all I do, for I know my oneness with the divine process. I do not worry, for God takes care of me. I live my life from day to day as if God's supportive substance were as...

Leddy Hammock Tithing means freely giving a tenth of all that I receive to spiritual works and workers – wherever I find them – and I am always blessed in return. Tithing to God and God's workers reminds me that God is my instant, constant, and ever-present Source of all good. I tithe cheerfully, remembering that God is my Source of all good, and I am blessed many times over! The good that I give...

Leddy Hammock I have a "giving heart" –  I give fearlessly and lovingly and I receive abundantly. I am a giver and my Father-Mother God is generous with me. My life is God's gift to me.  What I do with it is my gift to God. God is my overflowing Source of all good and I am stepping into the flow.

Leddy Hammock It isn't what happens to me, but the good that expresses through me, that lasts. Even when things don't seem to be working out, there is always some good, working out for me. I don't have "problems." I have projects! Difficulties do not come into my life to stay. They come to pass. Troubles turns into treasures when I know that something wonderful is happening. If I feel bothered by...

Leddy Hammock I love my work, for it helps me to grow spiritually. God can only do for me what I allow God to do through me. I am open and receptive to my true calling. I am ready to follow God's guidance obediently and to put God's ideas to work in all that I do. I work at "earning my wings" every day with the work of my hands and the words that I speak. God works in me to will and to do whatsoev...

Leddy Hammock Jesus was not afraid to talk about money as a useful symbol of creative ideas. He taught that money does not measure my worth. Money is made with a human image; I am made in God's image. I never worry about money, for God is my Source and in God I trust. I am God's child and God always provides for me. I practice good stewardship and value money simply as a material symbol of God's u...
