Inspired by “Don’t Ask Me To Give up this Dream” from “Twelve Women of the Chalice” Cd set, music by Sue K. Riley and lyrics by Leddy Hammock: With my back to the past, I let everything go.

Inspired by lyrics to “When We’re Talkin’ Dreams” by Sue Riley, Karen Taylor-Good, and Harold Payne: A dream is just a seed we plant. Then we wait for it to grow. We’ve been waiting patiently, I know. We’re breathin’ so it’s not too late. There’s no expiration date when we’re talkin’ dreams, and we’re talkin’ dreams. Anything can happen, long as we think it can.…

Inspired by lyrics to “I Dreamed of Rain” by Jan Garrett: The Spirit indwelling inspires me with dreams of freedom. “I dreamed of rain and the rains came, soft and easy, sweet and clear….” and peace spread over the land.” Every soul dreams of freedom and deserves to be free from bondage. “I dreamed of summer, and the winds changed and peace spread over the land.” I…

Inspired by lyrics to “Closer than You Think” by Sue Riley, Glen Roethel and Melinda Wood Allen: “When all your dreams are hooked on a shooting star And the star falls down, remember how great you are.

Inspired by lyrics from “Father’s Day” by Johnsmith: In my heart, I hear my Father say that He loves me. “Like rain falling gently upon fallow ground. I felt the fields of my heart turn green on those few small words my father said to me.” So, now, I try to say ‘I love you’ every chance I get. “It’s funny how a few small words can run so deep, make a baby smile make a…

Inspired by “Getting’ Better Ev’ry Minute” by Richard Mekdeci: It’s getting better ev’ry minute, getting better ev’ry day…. There’s a channel of peace being sent from above Bringing us this message on the wings of a dove – It says, It’s betting better ev’ry minute, getting better ev’ry day…. If we’re wise, we surely know; what we feed will always grow …. So I walk through…

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,…

From “We Remember Them” by Rabbis Sylvan Kamens and Jack Riemer: “At the rising of the sun and at its going down …. At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember them.” “At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring …. At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.” “At the rustling of the leaves and in the…

Inspired by “Who You Become” by Sue Riley and Jana Stanfield: We keep our eyes on the prize, but don’t fret if we stray, because the most important thing is who we become along the way. It’s how we love, how we live, how we laugh, how we give. Yes, the most important thing is who we become along the way. We keep our eyes on the prize, but don’t fret if we stray, because…

Inspired by lyrics to “God Is” by Richard Mekdeci, based on the “Prayer for Protection” by James Dillet Freeman: “In the morning when I rise and before I close my eyes, Anytime I’m in despair, I just speak this little prayer — When the cold winds start to blow and they beat upon your door, Every night will have its dawn, hold this thought as you hold on — We all hear the…
