Taking Back Your Day Dieter Randolph I stay strong, regardless of appearances, for I am in charge of my own thoughts.No matter what others may do, I live at peace and I do not give away my power.Whatever may be going on around me, I keep my mind on the blessings.Whatever happens, I claim a blessing, so only blessings can stay with me.

“Let us emulate the Divine Mother in all creation. Let us e-MOMulate the Holy Comforter indwelling all.”(following inspired by lyrics by Sue Riley):Spirit, like a loving mother, teaches me Truth, so wonderful in its simplicity, and molds me with quiet strength to stand on my own feet.I give thanks for the loving hands that have gently sheltered me, held me close when I was small and, as I grew, knew to set me free.Spirit says to me, “Walk in my footprints.Stay right behind me and I will lead the way.I will keep you safe and you shall know no harm, just walk in my footprints.”

Leddy Hammock I remember who I am: a child of the Most High, and this is my time to heal.I am becoming stronger.I am becoming whole.I walk in the light of the Presence of God. This is my time to heal.

Leddy HammockA song of praise in celebration of Earth Day – “I Dreamed of Rain” by Jan Garrett:“I dreamed of rain and the rains came, soft and easy, sweet and clear.  I dreamed of rain and the rains came and peace spread over the land.I dreamed of summer and the winds changed and the green was easy and the rivers ran clear.  I dreamed of summer and the winds changed and peace spread over the land.And the flowers bloom in the desert and the air is fresh and clear.  I dreamed of rain and the rains came and peace spread over the land.I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang and the sound was easy and the song was clear.  I dreamed of heaven and the earth sang and peace spread over the land.”

Sacred LifeLeddy Hammockleddy-jthThis Sunday’s lesson is inspired by lyrics from Jennifer Ferren:I forgive. I forgive all the heartache we have ever known, for a higher way is waiting to be shown.I forgive others and myself.  I let go and move ahead so we can grow.I forgive. I am standing strong in who I am. I leave the past because I can, and I am free.I forgive.  I release and I am at peace.  The pain of the past is now crossed out, for I forgive.

Good Morning Leddy Hammock  “Wake Up!” by Mark Shepherd“Wake up, wake up, your stone is rolled away.”“Breathe in, breathe in the light of this new day.”“Behold, behold, the old has passed away.”“Wake up, wake up! Love has found a way.”“Wake up, wake up, your stone is rolled awa

Hands!Dieter RandolphWhen the great crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took palm branches and went out to meet him, and cried out: ‘Hosanna!  Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ . . . .  So the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from death . . . went to meet him, because they heard that he had done this sign” (John 12:12-18).Into Your hands, God, I commend my Spirit.  Hallelujah – a word of praise to my God!Hallelujah – a word of thanks for my God!  Hallelujah – a moment of thanks for my God!Hallelujah – this is a blessed day – a blessed day with my God!“Let every breath I breathe be sacred. Let every word I speak be true.Let every song I sing be holy, and only bring me close to You”(Inspired by Daniel Nahmod’s lyrics to “Hallelujah – A Word of Praise”).

Why Miracles?I walk in faith with the Infinite One and my world is shaped with God’s healing plan.Therefore, amazing things happen to me and through me, naturally.It is never too late.  Nothing is incurable. All things can be healed.Nothing is too wonderful to happen or too good to last, for I choose a path that’s paved with miracles.

Leddy HammockI save time by knowing that I am always in the right place at the right time by God’s grace.I save time by letting go of everything I was afraid I had to control.I save time by letting worries over delays and deadlines wash away.I save time by waking up to my spiritual nature and living in the power of now.

How Loved You AreKaren Druckerkaren-drucker“I have the secret I’ve known since birth: ‘I’m whole and I’m complete and I know what I’m worth.’”“I know what I’m worth, I am a beacon of love.”“I know what I’m worth, I am an angel of light.”“This new way of being feels like rebirth. I’m whole and complete and I know what I’m worth.”

Leddy Hammock Rise up, spirit of strength.  Return from sorrow and run with joy. Rise up, spirit of renewal.  Return from the place of hurt and run toward healing. Rise up, spirit of life.  Return from wandering and run to your source. Rise up, spirit of strength.   Fear nothing and run toward victory.

Carry OnLeddy HammockEach soul is on a journey.  I focus on my own journey and I resolve to evolve.One thing I know: I am here to grow.I resolve to seek the highest good for all concerned in all things and, no matter what, I carry on.Here is the revelation: we are all evolving, all the time.We keep on keeping on, and every day, in every way, we are getting better and better.Spirit says, “Carry on!”

Rising in Love Dieter Randolph“In this moment, in this place, I remember who I am.Letting fear and worry fall away from me, I open my eyes and see:  There is only love . . . .When I lose myself, when I feel I’ve lost my way, I go inside and quiet my mind.I hear Spirit gently say, ‘There is only love.’ . . . There is only love – love that heals, love that sets me free.There is only love.”  I am not “falling in love,” I am rising in love, for, in truth, there is only love.(inspired by the lyrics to “There Is Only Love” by Karen Drucker and Michael Gott)

Fully Inflated Life Leddy HammockMy life is in order and I am ready to receive my good.I do not make excuses.  I make ready.My mind is now open, my heart is receptive to be healed and happy.I am open to give love and to receive love, to love and to be loved.A “deflated life” might seem easier to hold onto, but I want a life that is “fully inflated” with love and joy.

Planting SeedsLeddy Hammock Every good thought or word holds within it the seeds of good outcomes.Whatever is not true in the Kingdom will fade away; whatever is of Spirit will thrive.Whatever good thought or word or deed I choose to plant and praise will multiply according to my active faith.Between the “no longer” and the “not yet” are unlimited possibilities for growth.

Love Is the WaterLeddy Hammock I feel the current raging around me . . . .  But with a good Friend near me, I will carry on . . . . You reassure me, Your love surrounds me, and I know that safety is at last within my reach . . . . There is no one near me I can see,  but there You are in the water with me.  You take my hand and guide me graciously. As we wade on through the waters of our lives, a helping hand will save us, by and by. From lyrics by Joe Jencks to “Come with Me” (Turtle Bear Music)

Your TimeLeddy Hammock If I want a better life – a love that builds me up inside and makes me feel alive – I had better believe it! I want good fortune on my side, so I have to start believing that prosperity and success are possible for me! I am designing my own life. If I want a better life, I had better believe it! I believe that this is my time.  If I want to change my life, I start with my mind! Inspired by lyrics by Anji Kat on her new CD, “That’s Who I Am” produced by Daniel Nahmod for Humanity Music Company

Happy New You Dieter Randolph I wouldn’t do again what my old self would allow, but I didn’t know then what I know now. As I change my thinking, I change my life. The Christ in me knows better, so the Christ in me shows better. Happy New Year, happy new you! Let’s make a whole new scene in 2015!

“Light the candle, illuminate your heart. Don’t be afraid of the dark . . . . Ring out the old, bring in the new, bless and release what you have to, and love with love with hope . . . . Ring out the old, bring in the new, bless and release what you have to, and love with hope . . . . Light the candle, illuminate your heart.” (From the song “Illuminate” by Sloan Wainwright and Stephen Murphy)

All thru the House.... Dieter Randolph The “house” is the consciousness where the Christ child is sheltered.   Let Light shine all through the house.   The house of “David, Beloved of the Lord,” and “Jacob, the supplanter” is the consciousness that God loves me and through Him I overcome.   Let Light shine all through the house.  My house is my consciousness of Truth.   Let Light shine all through the house to light up my life.   Peace to this House Built on Love!   Let Light shine all through this house to light the world!
