Leddy Hammock Bitterness gets me nowhere. I wander until I remember that God hears my prayers and guides me home. I am not bitter or uncertain now. I am a royal child of the Most High destined for unlimited possibilities. Even when it seems laughable to believe things will work out for me, I have faith that God’s plans for me are good. There is joy in my heart! No one owns me. I am neither angry, bitter, exhausted, lost, or scared. I am not timid or sad. I am energetic, fearless, and confident. I intend to survive. I persist. I never give up. I only let go and let God, for my heart is the handmaid of the LORD. |

Leddy Hammock Inspired by words of Nimo Patel in “Being Kind” — I just sit and pray in silence and God shows me the signs. I open my eyes and realize we are fine, one small act at a time. Small acts we do together, even though maybe alone, change the world for the better, so we can call it home. And this is life: as we know, when our hearts are aligned, the magic that unfolds, one small act at a time. When I’m kind to others, they pay it forward. This is how we build trust. Thank You, God, for letting me realize, when I serve humanity, I’m really serving You in disguise. |

Leddy Hammock “On the day that we met . . . I noticed a crown on the top of your head . . . .I always knew just what your crown meant. It meant that you were MAGNIFICENT.” “That means you are grand from your toes to your chin. Take a deep breath, and let that sink in . . . . and it means, like a star, YOU WERE BORN TO SHINE . . . .” “Whatever it is you choose to do, no one can do it exactly like you. . . . And if you fall down, remember your glorious, marvelous crown. It won’t flicker or fade. It won’t dim. It won’t leave. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE.” “The world is a wonderland waiting for you. And you get to share it with all your friends, too! They each have a crown that is faithful and true. No one’s is brighter, no one’s is duller. It’s only a crown of a different color. So sometimes, just every now and then, whisper ‘I believe’ again. Your crown is your best friend forever, by far. It tells the true story of just who you are.” |

from I’d Know You Anywhere” by Nancy Tillman If one day we’re walking and talking, just us, and you looked different, Even if you had been away for a long time and didn’t look at all like yourself, “I’d say, “There are things about you quite unlike any other . . . “Yes, without question I’d know it was you.” “I know you by heart.” |

Leddy Hammock from You’re Here for a Reason by Nancy Tilllman “You’re here for a reason, you certainly are. The world would be different without you, by far. If not for your hands and your eyes and your feet, the world, like a puzzle, would be incomplete. Even the smallest of things that you do blossom and multiply far beyond you.” . . . “You’re here for a reason. If you think you’re not, I would just say that perhaps you forgot – a piece of the world that is precious and dear would surely be missing if you weren’t here. If not for your smile and your laugh and your heart, this place we call home would be minus a part. Thank goodness you’re here! Thank goodness times two! I just can’t imagine a world without you. You are loved.” |
