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 and strangers. And walls of stables tremble so when winds of fear and judgment blow. For a stable hopes in Love alone and knows that Love’s the answer. Oh, Love, the prophets’ only word, the only lesson left to learn, The only end of heaven’s work, and the only road that goes there — Love that sees with mercy’s eyes, holds its arms out open wide, Threads its loom with separate lives and weaves them all together. So, may the lamps of stables glow brightly lit that light may go for miles in the darkness, so Love will find its way there.”

Leddy Hammock Lyrics by “What a Little Moonlight Can Do” (Sue Riley, Sloan Wainwright, Glen Roethel, Dan Johnson) “Sitting in the silence, listening to the clouds touch the ground, everything a softer hue, as I take the time to look around. Life blurred at the edges, all the world bathed in silver sunshine. Isn’t it amazing what a little moonlight can do? I gaze up at the heavens, moon and stars so close, yet far away Like a million spotlights shining brighter than the light of day Illuminated universe creating space for all life’s wonder. Isn’t it amazing what a little moonlight can do? Dreaming, dreaming with my eyes wide open, flying, flying with both feet on the ground . . . . Ready to shine my own moon magic. Isn’t it amazing what a little moonlight can do?”

Leddy Hammock I practice an attitude of gratitude. My prayers are answered as I share generously from my grateful heart. The grateful heart draws to itself great things. Perfect answers take form as I keep a good and grateful attitude.

Leddy Hammock There been times that I thought I couldn’t last for long, But now I think I’m able, I’m able, to carry on. It’s been a long time comin’, but change is gonna come. I know that a change is gonna come one day.” – “Sam Cooke, “A Change Is Gonna Come” (1963)

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Scott Ainslie to “Cold in Here” “I thought I felt a little cool breeze come through. What shall we do? Don’t it feel cold in here to you? Turn up the heat. Warm up your feet.” Loving, patient, and warm words take the chill out of the air between us – from the top of our heads to the tip of our toes. “Turn on the light, nothing seems right.” It’s up to me to turn to the light that shines within, even when things seem dark. When I look with love, I let the light come on again. “Come back again, I’ll make you laugh, just wait and see. It’s all right. Day breaks the night.” Our inner Voice tells us that the sun always comes up again. It feels so right to know that we can get past the tears and laugh again. “What’s done is past. Love’s all that lasts.” When it feels “cold in here,” we shall remember that love is the “good kind” of global warming.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind” by Tom Kimmel and Klaus Caprani: “He said there is a light in the dark when we need it the most. There is a way through this world if we keep this in mind, No one gets to heaven if anybody else is left behind. No one gets to heaven if anyone is lost along the way. It’s so easy to doubt it, so now let us join hands and pray . . . . Singin’ ‘No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind,’ . . . And when we raised up our voices, we sounded like angels on high, Singin’ ‘No One Gets to Heaven If Anybody Else Is Left Behind.’”  

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley and JD Martin to “My Hearts Desire”: My heart’s desire – God’s will for me of good and only good – has been right here all the time. I am ready to live the dream that was always mine. It is never too late to find my heart’s desire. My good cannot be kept from me. Fear thoughts and excuses are now all swept away, I am ready now, today, for my heart’s desire. My heart’s desire (my spiritual birthright of infinite good) has always been right here for me and God wants me to accept it!    

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics of the song “There Are Moments” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Harold Payne “The first breath of the morning whispers in my ear: ‘You’ve got it all inside you.’ I open my heart and it appears! Even in an ordinary day in an ordinary life, there’s beauty all around me when I look up to see it. I don’t want to miss the rainbows! “There are moments, there are moments, where magic happens unexpectedly. There are moments, precious moments, where the wonder of the world is all I see.”

Leddy Hammock This is my healing formula: God loves me and sees me well. The place for healing to happen is right here, right where I am. Right now, in this very moment, is my healing time. I already know how to heal. God speaks my healing formula to me in the silence of prayer: “I trust you to go within to discover you already know how it feels to be whole, how to heal.”

 Leddy Hammock I don’t have to feel “blue.” I can choose my moods like I choose my music. I won’t let go until I find a blessing in everything that happens. We are children of the Light. We build each other up by letting go of the blues and looking up to blue skies!

Magie Cook Inspired by “I Made Room for Grace” by Sue Riley: When I stumble, I won’t be defeated, since I make room for grace. I stop resisting. I make room for grace. I just step aside, open up a space, and make room for grace. Now the blessings arrive every day, since I made room for grace.

Leddy Hammock My Jar Full of Blessings: I have an open and receptive attitude, for God’s will for me is good and only good. I have an attitude of gratitude for all the lessons I am learning. I have an attitude of trust in God to guide me and provide for me. I have an attitude of interest and appreciation for all the good God has for me.

Leddy Hammock In this wonderful life, I reap what I sow. All God’s good is mine to give and to receive. My life is God’s gift to me; what I do with my life is my gift to God and to the world. I am a good worker: I serve with a song in my heart and I give thanks to God, my Source. My job is to live the good life: to do my best, to love, and to grow. I love my job! “This Life is Mine” by Melinda Wood Allen It’s a beautiful day—this day is mine. Got a song in my heart—this song is mine. Got people to love—this love is mine. This Life is Mine — Mine to give and to receive, my good cannot be kept from me. Give and take, ebb and flow, night gives way so day can grow. Got a beautiful smile—it’s mine to give. Got love in my heart—it’s mine to give. Got more than enough—it’s mine to give. This Life is mine…. Got plenty of joy—it’s mine to give. Got feeling of peace—it’s mine to give. Got so much grace—it’s mine to give. This Life is mine….This life is mine!

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Pray” by Susan Clark There are no magic words for me to say, for God hears me anyway. Each day holds a blessing that is only a thought away. There is no magic place I need to go, no secret handshake I need to know. My mind is open to the blessings that are only a thought away. There is no magic wand for me to wave. There is no special mantra I need to say. My hands are open to the blessings that are only a thought away. I turn the key that unlocks the door to faith when I pray. I open the door to God’s power when I pray and I give thanks for the blessings that are only a thought away.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Let ‘Em See Your Strong” by Tia McGraff/Tommy Parham/Devon O’Day “Let ’em see your strong. Let ’em see you’re willing to keep goin’. Let ’em see your power comes from somewhere they can’t fathom. Let ’em see you smile when a tear might serve you better. The road is long. Let ’em see your strong. Let ’em see your burn. Let ’em know they can’t put out your passion. Let ’em see your fire comes from a calling that’s forever. Let ’em see you fly when falling comes so easy. It’s how you learn. Let ’em see your burn. The darkest night can’t hide the smallest flame. And, Darlin’, there’s only one candle with your name. So let ’em see your light. Let ’em see how God just keeps you shining. Let ’em see your best even when you don’t feel like trying. Let ’em see a star that was born to be a beacon shining bright. Let ’em see your light. The road is long. Let ’em see your strong.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “One Step” by Harold Payne: “I get my inspiration from the words of the children. I’m trying to teach myself what they already know. If I can show my fellow man what a child can understand then the seeds that I have sown will surely grow. If I take one step in the right direction. If I touch one heart along the way. And if that one step becomes a chain reaction, then my journey has not been in vain.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Go Out and Shine” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel, and Melinda Wood Allen: Keeping my thoughts centered on what I want to see in my life and letting kindness be my guide, I go out and shine my light! I see the world, not as it seems, but as I am, and I am in unity with God: one voice, one hand, one heart. If I want a change, I make a start. I go out and shine! I am a child of God and I act like one. I am a radiating center of peace and love. I go out and shine my light! It is up to me to see the world and all its people rightly – as God’s children. We’re one big family and what’s good for you is good for me. Let’s go out and shine!

Leddy Hammock “There’s a new church on the horizon, made of light, not of stone, calling now to all creation, ‘You are not alone.’ We are One Heart, looking for answers. We are One Soul, finding our way through the dark. Hold out your hand. Someone will take it and bring you home again. One dream, we share together. We are all a part of One Heart.” We are One Heart, looking for answers, sharing this eternal quest for our own indwelling Christ.

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics from “Gone!” by Faith Rivera and David Roth: “Gone – all the baggage that has burdened me. Gone – all the troubles I no longer need. Now is the moment that I do release – it’s gone!” “Gone is the weight that had me slowin’ down. Gone are the habits that I kept around. Now is the moment that I do release — it’s gone!” “Gone – all the baggage, I am finally free. Gone – all the troubles, I am finally me. Now is the moment that I do release – it’s gone!” “My loss is my gain. I am changing. I’m free, I’m through. I’m strong, I am new. It’s gone!”
