Time for the Reveal
Leddy Hammock (Inspired by scripture and lyrics by Melinda Wood Allen): No matter how long the seeming problem has been around, when the time comes when I am really ready, the answer is revealed.

Let It Be Easy
Karen Drucker (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.

This Place
Leddy Hammock I am not here by accident. I am here in this place by divine appointment. Since God is everywhere equally present, whenever I turn my attention to the presence of the Good, I dwell in the House of the Lord. Wherever I am?either alone or gathered with others in prayer? my heart is in a holy place. In Genesis, we read that Jacob fell asleep, alone in the…
Evolution
Leddy Hammock (inspired by lyrics by David Roth, Lisa Aschmann, and J.D. Martin) We are spiritual beings, currently going through a human experience on the way to an infinite unfoldment.

Caring for Caregivers
Leddy Hammock & Linda Burhans Being the change we wish to see in the world means taking care of others and also taking care of ourselves. Even the smallest act of kindness blesses both the giver and the receiver. We care for others selflessly, serving the Christ within each and all. We are guided and strengthened to be the change we wish to see in the world by doing…
In the Name of Love
Leddy Hammock Love is the nature of the Spirit of Life. Love is the power that calls forth great souls to stand up and show the way, even during hard times. Love is like the water that wears down the seeming obstacles and brings change, making a way when there seemed to be no way. “Love is the water that wears down the rock. Love is the power that won’t be…
Resolution
Leddy Hammock Lyrics from “If I Were Brave” by Jana Stanfield: “What would I do if I knew that I could not fail? If I believed, would the wind always fill up my sail? How far would I go, what could I achieve, trusting the hero in me? If I were brave I’d walk the razor’s edge, where fools and dreamer’s dare to tread, and never lose…
Begin Again
Leddy Hammock I can feel a change is coming. I have released the old year, and I am ready to begin again. I can feel myself outgrowing this life I’ve been living in. So, by the power of my word of faith, I begin again. I am now speaking into creation a good new year ? a good new life. I know I’m going to be all right. Lovingly, I send forth my word of wisdom…
Happy New You
Sue Riley Let all the heartaches be forgot and never brought to mind. Let all the sorrows fade away. We’ll keep the good in mind. “And here’s a hand, my trusted friend, and lend a hand o’ thine. We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet for the days of auld lang syne.

Shepherds Show Up
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…
MAGI
Leddy Hammock Deep in my heart, I long to find the Christ. When the willful self cannot find the Christ, inner guidance reveals His presence. To the Christ Child indwelling every heart belong the gifts of Truth, Love, and Life. As I behold the inner Christ, I am not ruled by selfishness. I walk with the wise.
Yes, Way!
Leddy Hammock Even when there seems to be no outer way, there is an inner way. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall conceive and receive divine ideas. I am reflecting upon the message that Love brought: I am the beloved of God, born of a pure thought. Shelter me, Holy Spirit, whisper to me from above. So, forever my heart will hear it: nothing’s impossible…

Here is the joy, here is the peace that makes way for a quiet Christmas, Where…
When It’s Hard to Be Grateful

Telling Time
Leddy Hammock (“Affirmations” in Lessons in Truth by H. Emilie Cady, 1895: “God is life, love, intelligence, substance, omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence.” “I am a child or manifestation of God, and every moment His life, love, wisdom, power, flow into and through me.

Scary Truths
Leddy Hammock It would be scary if Truth were complicated and confusing. God, You remind me that Truth is simple and brings peace. It would be scary if we could control other people’s minds or they could control ours. God, You remind me that Truth never binds and always frees. It would be scary if we never faced challenges that teach us and make us stronger. God,…
