Change Is Coming

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)

Get Over This

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.…

Open Doors

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.…

IN-heartance

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…

There Are Moments

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…

Healing Formula

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…

Up Thoughts for Down Times

 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!  

The Other Side of Grace

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.  

Another Jar of Blessings

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…
