Thank you, Marta. I’m looking at the most wonderful harvest of good right before my eyes right now! It reminds me of Hymn 342/2:
The Lord will hear before we call,
And every need supply,
Good things are freely given to all,
Who on His word rely,
We come today to bring Him praise,
Not for such gifts alone,
But, for the higher, deeper ways,
In which His love is shown.
Thanks, Mother Church, Board of Lectureship, and a special thanks to you, Marta. Enjoy your harvest, everyone! I’m grateful for every one of you. I’m grateful for a Thanksgiving card I received: ” We’re thankful for many things…but mostly for each other.” This Daily Lift is a perfect demonstration of the continuity of good. Happy Thanksgiving!

37. Pam B says:
Dear Marta!! Thank you so much. What a beautiful message for today and everyday. “If you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment.” And the garden, practical, and as a metaphor.

with those in need. What blesses one blesses all.
Much love

Her love of God, as she conveys the principles associated with Mrs. Eddy’s words, carries me through my days with strength and grace. Marta has the gift of making her messages directly applicable to today’s world. Speaking of world, it would be a better place, indeed, if everyone walked their talk, as Marta clearly does. I’m thinking of joining the church! Thank you, Marta, and all the best from sunny San Diego to you and yours!

Thank you Marta for your joyful voice of praise and Thanksgiving! The wealth of ideas that you expressed so beautifully from planting your “meager” little garden last spring truly demonstrated the “Harvest of Good appearing!” This message was completely filled with sharing and trusting in the “seeds of good” and “opportunity to praise God as an everpresent help” with “Joyful expectation!” I treasure these beautiful ideas. Thanksgiving has already come! What a blessing for this daily lift to reach the world! Happy Thanksgiving from Savannah!
57. Marilyn from Maine says:

60. Gary in Nanaimo says:
Hi Marta! I’m happy to hear your garden was successful and fruitful.
Our garden is always impressive and abundant too. Some say my wife has a green thumb, but it’s because she loves her plants. I trust in the divine laws of Love’s creation. I love the idea of TRUST that God will always provide good. Right on.
61. Linda Campana says:
These Daily Lifts are gratefully received, and I hope they continue on forever!
62. Stephen Pierce says:
Thank you Martha, for your great message love.
I was talking with grandmother about our individual and spiritual golden harvest and also about the results of it in the relative level. She says: Why don’t we share this harvest with a widow or someone who is at the moment lonly and far away from home in our neighbourhood? I felt the sense of wonderment, when grandmother opened her sincere heart to those who needed the most as one of the holy of holiest approaches us.
“He brought me to the banquet room and his banner of love was over me”

Dear, dear Marta. What a privilege to have two of your wonderful lectures in our area. At the Divine Economy lecture we gave away 5 S&Hs, one to a young man that heard of the lecture that afternoon in the Jt. RR downtown. We had several ‘repeat’ first timers that heard you at the Scotish Rite two years ago. We were all lifted up by your amazing example of living love and went on to bask further in the radiance of the Truth at the Encinitas lecture. Some of us considered that our personal lecture. Deep love.

I was introduced to your daily life from my very loving coach Vivien. What a wonderful way to start a day with the mind refreshed with daily messages that uplift us and start with hope in the modern world, where we tend to worry for the future and look at shortages rather than abundance.
Yes, abundance, hope and live each day with your best is the key.
Thank you for the beautiful and loving messages.
114. marie cojan says:
This is definitely what we all need to hear. We need to hear the truth of the divine god that provides all that we desire in life. Marta has the message for us to use these principles daily and transform our mind and our lives.
We need to get above our earthly mindset and conditioning. And pull down our heavenly possessions that god has for us
I just love it,
Most grateful for your teaching Marta.

But, for the higher, deeper ways,
In which His love is shown.
Thanks, Mother Church, Board of Lectureship, and a special thanks to you, Marta. Enjoy your harvest, everyone! I’m grateful for every one of you. I’m grateful for a Thanksgiving card I received: ” We’re thankful for many things…but mostly for each other.” This Daily Lift is a perfect demonstration of the continuity of good. Happy Thanksgiving!

Good on you, Dear Marta !! His hands are full so our hands are full.

Thank you, we do have an abundancd of good always when we put our trust in God. I have been wishing people I meet to have a ” grateful day” and one person responded “I hope so” and I’m sure she did.
37. Pam B says:
Dear Marta!! Thank you so much. What a beautiful message for today and everyday. “If you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment.” And the garden, practical, and as a metaphor.
Our cup is always overflowing so we have enough to share
with those in need. What blesses one blesses all.
Much love

Thank you Marta for such a joy filled expression of Love!
41. Jan in California says:
The passion, love, and joy that comes from Marta’s message warms my heart because it comes from her own! We were so lucky to hear Marta when she recently visited San Diego and Encinitas. Her love of God, as she conveys the principles associated with Mrs. Eddy’s words, carries me through my days with strength and grace. Marta has the gift of making her messages directly applicable to today’s world. Speaking of world, it would be a better place, indeed, if everyone walked their talk, as Marta clearly does. I’m thinking of joining the church! Thank you, Marta, and all the best from sunny San Diego to you and yours!
42. Mary Ann says:

55. Zacchaeus says:
Marta,
your voice is like a sparkling waterfall spilling over a hungry ground.
56. Martha says:
Thank you Marta for your joyful voice of praise and Thanksgiving! The wealth of ideas that you expressed so beautifully from planting your “meager” little garden last spring truly demonstrated the “Harvest of Good appearing!” This message was completely filled with sharing and trusting in the “seeds of good” and “opportunity to praise God as an everpresent help” with “Joyful expectation!” I treasure these beautiful ideas. Thanksgiving has already come! What a blessing for this daily lift to reach the world! Happy Thanksgiving from Savannah!
57. Marilyn from Maine says:
Thank you for these lovely comments that go so well with our Thanksgiving Bible Lesson that will be read in US churches tomorrow. When I read it tomorrow, I will think of the seed being sown and resulting in a lot of fruitage.
We look forward to having you lecture again some time in western Maine — or anywhere else in Maine!
58. Joan Wattam says:
Thank you, Marta, for reminding us all of the harvest of Good! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
59. Kyn, Reston, VA says:
I just got that “now” means don’t be concerned about tomorrow. Not that God is supposed to bless me “right now.” It’s like manna, always there when we need it. Thanks for the joy.
60. Gary in Nanaimo says:
Hi Marta! I’m happy to hear your garden was successful and fruitful.
Our garden is always impressive and abundant too. Some say my wife has a green thumb, but it’s because she loves her plants. I trust in the divine laws of Love’s creation. I love the idea of TRUST that God will always provide good. Right on.
61. Linda Campana says:
These Daily Lifts are gratefully received, and I hope they continue on forever!
62. Stephen Pierce says:
Thank you Martha, for your great message love.
I was talking with grandmother about our individual and spiritual golden harvest and also about the results of it in the relative level. She says: Why don’t we share this harvest with a widow or someone who is at the moment lonly and far away from home in our neighbourhood? I felt the sense of wonderment, when grandmother opened her sincere heart to those who needed the most as one of the holy of holiest approaches us.

Dear friend, Marta. We are so grateful that you came to be with us for our lecture on Nov. 15th in Encinitas, CA. Thanks for your lovely reply to our lecure, #41!! Jan we are so glad you were there. One lovely attendee said, “I feel that we have all just spent an hour in Heaven”. This is the wide harvest field talking to us in gratitude. So many came who had never heard a lecture before. 20 gave us their names and email addresses to be notified of our next event. The world surely is ready for this blessed Science! Thank you and bless you again and again for being about your Father’s business, Marta. Love, The RSF church, lecture committee!

89. Trudi from San Diego says:
Dear, dear Marta. What a privilege to have two of your wonderful lectures in our area. At the Divine Economy lecture we gave away 5 S&Hs, one to a young man that heard of the lecture that afternoon in the Jt. RR downtown. We had several ‘repeat’ first timers that heard you at the Scotish Rite two years ago. We were all lifted up by your amazing example of living love and went on to bask further in the radiance of the Truth at the Encinitas lecture. Some of us considered that our personal lecture. Deep love.

Thank you so much Marta, your words really did lifted me. Specially after I read your list of gratitude. I almost say, Amen to that! when the thought came to me: I am infinitely grateful for my Father-Mother setting me in this country where a person can express herself in a forum like this one, bless and be blessed. Thank you again!
Muchas gracias Marta, tus palabras me elevaron verdaderamente. Especialmente luego de leer tu lista de gratitud. Casi digo, ¡Amén a eso! cuando me vino el pensamiento: Yo estoy infinitamente agradecida a mi Padre-Madre por ponerme en este país donde una persona puede expresarse en un foro como este, bendecir y ser bendecida. !Otra vez, gracias!

113. Josiah says:
I was introduced to your daily life from my very loving coach Vivien. What a wonderful way to start a day with the mind refreshed with daily messages that uplift us and start with hope in the modern world, where we tend to worry for the future and look at shortages rather than abundance.
Yes, abundance, hope and live each day with your best is the key.
Thank you for the beautiful and loving messages.
114. marie cojan says:
This is definitely what we all need to hear. We need to hear the truth of the divine god that provides all that we desire in life. Marta has the message for us to use these principles daily and transform our mind and our lives.
We need to get above our earthly mindset and conditioning. And pull down our heavenly possessions that god has for us
I just love it,
Most grateful for your teaching Marta.
