Leddy Hammock “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 Search the sky for that star—star of light, star of love, bright enough to guide believers from afar. Let there be peace around our troubled world, peace within ourselves. We’ve traveled such a long way. Let us not forget what for. And when we gaze upon that star of light, star of love, we hope for the only gift: peace around our trouble world, peace within ourselves. Search the face of the Child, shining with the spirit of Christmases in our heart.

Leddy Hammock “My Source of life is strength and wisdom. We thank You for helping us to endure and live through everything we’ve lived through. You brought us here, to this present moment. You’ve given us strength to find our way. Here, in this present moment, You’ve given us courage for today. We have courage for today. We live the good life, Oh, so sweet, and You’re with us with every heartbeat.”

Leddy Hammock 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 keep my table set. I believe that God’s will for all people is good and only good. There is always room for more people at our table. We can always set an extra plate. Although we may say grace in many ways, we all stay grateful. I’m grateful for the life that’s mine to live, grateful for the love that’s in my life, grateful for the gifts I have to give and the memories made around my kitchen table.

“The whisper that I hear in my heart, telling me it’s time to start To set my inhibitions free, become the ‘me’ I’m here to be. So, I’ll act brave as if I am, act ‘as if’ until I can, live each day as though I know that what I seek is seekin’ me, even when that’s hard to see. I choose faith, so I believe, that what I seek is seekin’ me.”

Leddy Hammock “Thank You, God, for this world of infinite joy and vibrant love. I’ve known the blessing of a boundless flow of miracles. I marvel at the beauty around me and within me, inspiring me to cherish Who I am. Thank You, God, as I celebrate the gift of each new day, I experience renewal with each breath I take and I discover deeper meaning in the moment I am living, rememb’ring still more clearly Who I am. With You, God, I rejoice in feeling nurtured and fulfilled, with steadfast faith in human life and in myself, fully alive, fully alive. Thank You, God, for Your healing grace and comfort in my need, as You guide me with a spark of perfect clarity, my heart is blessed with understanding of my promise and my vision, rejoicing in the Truth … receptive to the light … Restoring me to faith of who I am, realizing my own essence of I Am.

Leddy Hammock Divine guidance is my flashlight through the dark night of my soul. The light of Truth shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it. Spirit illumines my path through the valley of the shadow. The Christ Spirit is my flashlight in the dark night of my soul.

“Runnin’ ‘round fixing this and that, Giving it up to God and then taking it back. Just release and let it go. You don’t even have to think about it no more. ….Get out of the way and let God do Its thing. You look like the weight of the world’s on your back. Just take a deep breath and cut yourself some slack. All that drama ain’t good for you. You couldn’t change what is if you wanted to…. Get out the way, let God do Its thing. The sun is gonna shine and the river’s gonna flow. The tide’s gonna rise without your say so. The universe is working and the good is flowing. You don’t plant a seed and then dig it up and see if it’s growing…. Get out of the way and let God do Its thing.”

Leddy Hammock “With the hard-earned wisdom I have now, I wouldn’t do again what my old self would allow. What I hold onto … wouldn’t let me be free…. now I see, I’m getting closer to a new, more peaceful me. I’m holding on to what I want to keep. I feel lighter, I sleep better, its love that’s holding me…. My new religion is live and let be….now I can stand back and see – the past is the past, but the future’s up to me. What I hold on to holds on to me….”

“Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me. Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go. With the setting of the sun, I now let drift away ev’rything and ev’ryone that can no longer stay. In the scented ev’ning air, Let living waters flow. Bathe my many thoughts and cares. I release and I let go. Baptism of tears, clear my vision. Bathe me in peace, reveal my mission. Pour over me Holy Spirit, cleanse my heart and comfort me. Pour over me Holy Spirit, help me know how to let go.

Leddy Hammock “If I could look down on this path I walk from somewhere way up high, I could see the crooked road that I have come. I walked a mile with sorrow, I walked a mile with joy and now I’m less afraid of either one.” “For every tear I’ve cried, there’s a smile that I have earned, for every mile I walked there’s a lesson I learned. I’m not lost, I am exploring. Life is an adventure worth enjoying. Though I may not know where I’m going, I am not lost, I am exploring.” “Some like me are seekers, we take less traveled roads, believing we can find a better way. And though I may get discouraged, I won’t be turning back. I have joy as my compass and faith as my map.” “All of us are headed for the same destination, so why not blaze a trail that’s got imagination? I’m not lost, I am exploring. Life is an adventure worth enjoying. Though I may not know where I’m going, I am not lost, I am exploring.”

Leddy Hammock God guides me through the “blues” with royal grace. I don’t have to pretend to be okay. At my royal command, the blues must leave me in peace. I don’t have to fight with depression. I choose to go about my Father’s business and tend my thoughts peacefully. Even the rich and powerful may experience temporary feelings of helplessness and sorrow. I am grateful for the love of God that lights my way through the “blues” to the victory of “Royal Blues.”

Leddy Hammock “When you are in lack, speak with words of praise. If you count them, you will find your blessings will amaze. When you are in fear, spread the gift of love. The joy of calm and peace of mind surround you like a glove. When anger fills your heart, understanding is your gift, to put your life in harmony and give everyone a lift. When you are in pain, fill your mind with prayer, an awe-inspiring web of love supports you everywhere. Giving of yourself doesn’t cost you anything. But that gift is more valuable than any other you could bring. There’s something you can give that someone can embrace. Somebody will be happier, this world a better place. We all have gifts to give, making the whole world brighter. We have gifts to give, taking our spirits higher. When we give freely of our love, so much more love we receive. This is the wondrous pattern that we weave.”

Leddy Hammock “I’m so caught up in all my stuff; no matter what I do, it’s never enough . . . . Avalanche of paper, no time to read. A moment to myself would be a friend indeed. Ninety miles an hour and standing still. If I don’t do it, nobody else will. Step back, slow down. Smell the roses and kiss the ground. Just breathe, don’t sweat it. Just slow down and you won’t regret it . . . . Slow and steady is the way to go.”

Leddy Hammock “It works, when I work it! My good comes pouring through. It works, when I work it – these principles of Truth. … I know that I am ready to receive …. If I trust my heart to lead, then love comes pouring through …. My good will know my face. I’m making room for miracles and saving room for grace.”

Leddy Hammock “When all your dreams are hooked on a shooting star and the star falls down, remember how great you are. You are the guiding star you need…. Your day in the sun, the moment seems lost in time, when the sun sinks low, remember how bright you shine. You are the only light you need…. The road is long, and you feel weary. Take one more step, you are nearly home. Shadows of time, love that has passed you by and your hope runs out. Give it just one more try. Love may be closer than you think. Don’t stop now. You’re closer than you think.

Leddy Hammock “I wake up in the morning in the flow of love. Another day is dawning, in the flow of love. I take a deep breath from below and above, Ready to begin now, in the flow of love. Happiness that’s showing, in the flow of love, Joy that’s overflowin’, in the flow of love. Feeling peace inside, what I’m dreaming of, Letting my heart guide, in the flow of love. Oh, the power coming through, a clear signal strong and true. I’m giving and receiving, in the flow of love. Oh, the dark days cannot hold me. I’m in the flow of love. I can feel my life unfolding. I’m in the flow of love.”

Leddy Hammock “If I seek the Truth, let me speak the Truth. If I’m lost in doubt, let me believe. I know I can be the change I want to see. If it’s to be, it’s up to me. If I’m feeling stressed, let me stop and rest. If I’m feeling hurt, let me forgive. I know I can be the change I want to see. If it’s to be, it’s up to me. If I dream of peace, let me live in peace. When I start from love, I am love. I know I can be the change I want to see. If it’s to be it’s up to me.”

Leddy Hammock “Keep your eyes on the prize, but don’t fret if you stray, because the most important thing is who you become along the way. It’s how you love, how you live, how you laugh, how you give. Yes, the most important thing is who you become along the way.”

Leddy Hammock Inspired by lyrics to “Do What I Can Do” by Sue Riley, Richard Mekdeci, and Gary Lynn Floyd: “Look around, what do I see? Good or bad, it’s up to me. My world reflects what I believe. Here’s what I believe. I know there’s good in everyone. I know the best is yet to come. Look out world, ‘cause I’m not done, I’ve only just begun . . . . I’ll choose compassion over fear, release my love into the atmosphere. Like a single wave in an endless sea, any change begins with me. And, when I feel I’m all alone, I’ll remember, one drop of water smooths a stone. Gonna, love like crazy, shine like gold, be courageous, break the mold. Can’t do it all, but this much is true. I can do what I can do.”
