7/27: Sweet water

1. Gladys, Los Angeles, CA, USA says:

thank you for the incredible idea of no possibility of being mixed water, simply 100% sweet water. amazing – i love hearing your lectures – was healed after attending your lecture in Westwood, CA just last year from stiff neck and major back pain that i’ve heard about though never experienced in my life – then went to the lecture in Montrose, CA a few days later. didn’t even realize the healing till i turned my neck when making a turn from the fast lane of the 10 east freeway driving away from your lecture and realized that i was flexible – by the time i went to your Montrose lecture a few days later all the pain completely went away. thank you for your insights – especially this one – wonderful work – Gladys

2. Margaret, Sunshine Coast, Australia says:

Oh Ginny – this is such a great Lift! This is where it all comes to and from God, isn’t it: the infinite Source of “sweet water”. That ‘battle with self” and the old repetitive concepts that simply are not true. Simply not true of oneself or anyone else’s self. I guess the most wonderful restorative is “sweet water”. And spiritually sweet water is the only way to go and know.
Thank you Nathan and Co for the great “sweet water music” this week. Wonderfully refreshing as always.

3. bill says:

Lovely thought….. “We’re sweet water”…. I’m gonna hold to that….

Thanks, Ginny….

4. Elena Shidele, California (San Diego) says:

Nice, Ginny, we are Sweet Water, very positive, in today’s terms, very “green“. I like the New American Standard Bible version of this passage, “Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?” (James 3:11) Fresh water wasn’t something easy to come by in biblical times, maybe not even today if it weren’t for the modern machinery. God is our source, so being called, Sweet Water sounds to me like being washed constantly, doesn’t that mean that our innate purity is being renewed constantly?

ENGLISH
Lindo, Ginny, somos Agua Dulce, muy positivo, en los términos de hoy en día, muy “verde“. Me gusta la versión de la Nueva Biblia Estandard Americana (NASB) de este pasaje, “¿Hecha una fuente por una misma abertura, tanto de agua fresca y amarga?” (Santiago 3:11) El agua fresca no era algo fácil de conseguir en los tiempos bíblicos, y ni siquiera los sería hoy en día si no fuera por la maquinaria moderna. Dios es nuestra fuente, así que ser llamada Agua Dulce me suena como ser constantemente lavada, ¿no significa eso que nuestra pureza innata se renueva constantemente?

5. Troy from Barbados says:

Hi Ginny,

Thank you for this healing lift. Just yesterday I found I was grappling with how to respond to an individual who seemed to have been less than respectful as we discussed a matter on a conference call.

I felt it was important for me not to respond; instead I felt it was important I ponder my response. Humanly it seemed correct to be firm to the point of aggressive so that I could establish a sense of authority.

When I reached home I continued to give it thought as I felt there needed to be a higher standard that I ought to follow and sure enough the answer was given to me – that I cannot serve two masters. My response therefore had to be one of love and love demonstrating wisdom.

A friend and I went out to photograph the moon rise and as we drove to the spot tI heard them make a simple statement – the best way to handle aggression is to be calm, firm, but loving. That is the sweet water we all can bring forth.

Thanks again.

Troy

6. Ruth in Alberta, Canada says:

I love the reference to sweet water.

Even in winter, we used to pump our drinking water into a cream can from a well dug into the corner of a Saskatchewan prairie pasture. The water was cold, and sweetly refreshing – the same water that surfaced in a nearby creek and sustained the wild mint and flowers that grew near its banks, and the creatures who came there to drink. Sometimes our well water would begin to taste odd, and that signaled the need to climb down into its depths, empty it completely of the contaminated water, and of anything foreign that had fallen in, and then wait to let the pure water, filtered by the sand and soil, flow back in again for our use. (I am grateful for the love our parents showed in doing this!)

This echoes what we often need to do when we pray and “know the Truth”- consciously cleaning and filtering out of the wellspring of consciousness anything that would contaminate the purity of our “own sweet self” (or another’s) — the spiritual idea that God is knowing and always renewing — untainted by mortal histories or fear. Thank you Ginny, for this “cup of cold water, in Christ’s name.” ( See also Sc&H 570-17)

7. Kathy England says:

Ginny, Thank you for this lift today it seams to be for me. and yet many i,m sure will be responding, to say for them too, I will be playing it again and DRINKING the in these thoughts sometimes we given the idea that what we have is due to our DNA, I turn this into does not apply, what a thought, sweet water. thank you again
Kathy

8. Anne from France says:

Bonjour Ginny

Merci beaucoup for this absolutly GREAT IDEA of sweet water ! Yes, we often say about our children like the world beleif about ” He is like his father, bla bla bla , she is like her mother bla bla etc….” and this idea about the fountain only one kind of water, sweet water is great for we are children on God, spiritual and perfect reflection, complete.

Thank you

Anne

9. Chuck says:

Ginny, Thank you for the great daily lift. It was exactly what I needed. I think the daily lift is a great idea and adds to the tools we can use as we continue on our spiritual journey.

10. Elizabeth says:

Thank you for these ideas this morning!

11. Dean in Silver Spring says:

Hah. I’m not generally a morning water drinker, but today I got up, put some laundry, in poured a cup of water, which just appealed to me, and sat down for some morning listening, including literally, here. And saw this. Thanks for the alignment metaphor, God. I’m paying attention, today — only good, no mistakes, even (or especially) when it seems like there has been one. (Oh, and thanks Ginny, …, and Nate, too.)

12. Linda says:

Thank you for the lift, Ginny. I woke this morning with old thought patterns trying to resurface, but the lift helped to just wash them away with sweet water. I’ll remember that today!

13. Malcolm Drummond, Henrietta, NY says:

Many thanks Ginny for your inspiring “sweet water” lift: “… A fountain ever springing,/All things are mine since I am His,/How can I keep from singing?” (CS hymnal supplement #449).

14. Lorraine from Dayton, Ohio says:

Thank you, Ginny, for this very inspiring Daily Lift. Your mention of DNA reminds me of an acronymn shared with me:
Divinely
Natural
Attributes
That’s the only DNA we need to be conscious of. Lorrie

15. Douglas, USA says:

This sweet water can be thought of as the spirit that is good and helps purify our thoughts. It rids us from any stress, bitterness, frustration, and ager that comes from time to time. Where there is a sense of calm clear trust and understanding there is also love that is compassionate and healing. May this mind (spirit) be in you as in Christ Jesus our Lord.

16. Mary H. AL says:

Thank you for this wonderful LIFT that we are SWEET WATER I’ll be holding to that all day and know that good is all around and every where.

17. Jodi says:

Wonderful lift Ginny..very timely. It seems like alternatives pop up…sometimes..now to choose the “sweet water”…TY Ginny

18. walkswithLove says:

thanks Ginny!

19. Jackie, Boston says:

Thank you Ginny and thank you #5 (Troy), that is just what I needed to hear for an aggressive situation I am facing – be calm, firm but loving – that is the sweet water I will bring to the table today. And, knowing that this is not the real man but an imposter.

20. A Texas Gal says:

I know that once someone has written a comment here, he/she probably doesn’t go back again – but I want everyone who’s written so far to know somehow I grateful I am. I’m struggling with great lower back pain today, and I know it is thought alone that needs to be dealt with. I love Ginny’s Lift – for I’d already seen the need for less “brittleness” and “sharpness” in my own dealing with folks. I love the “sweetness” in the Lift – that neutralizes those other things, and love knowing that the sweetness IS the reality. I love the healing shared by #1 commenter! Talk about applicable to me!

Everyone’s comments are wonderful, but #6 – Ruth in Alberta – is especially helpful. It’s beautifully written, and presents a most practical analogy in seeing prayer as “consciously cleaning and filtering out of the wellspring of consciousness anything that would contaminate the purity of our ‘own sweet self’ (or another’s) — the spiritual idea that God is knowing and always renewing — untainted by mortal histories or fear.” I am SO ready to go forward with joy today – “with (as Mrs. Eddy says in Mis 224:23) a charity broad enough to cover the whole world’s evil, and sweet enough to neutralize what is bitter in it…”

21. Leah says:

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing this truth! Amen!

22. Grateful listener says:

I love this idea of Sweet Water being our only identity – pure and good – not a mixture of being contaminated or thoughtless or unloving. And we can see others in this same light as expressing only Godlike qualities. Thanks so much, Ginny!

23. Elaine from Toronto says:

This is so applicable to my daily experience and I thank you so much for this Daily Lift.

24. Anni B. Wash.. says:

This was so sweet Ginny:

I woke up after a enough good sleep to drink my tumbler of water; then the thought from Mrs. Eddy about David going forth to fight Goliath, and boy was I charged with renewed vigor, could feel it. Lingering ‘bitter water, not again’ feel expunged with the help of your ’sweet water’ message.

Loved all the inspired messages, and feel that renewal of vigor again!

So many, many thanks one and all!

25. Faye’s Gratitude says:

Wonderful, Ginny, thank you so much. I am so grateful for these angel ideas you lecturers are giving us to work with as we go about our daily tasks. I am grateful to the Mother Church for providing a way for us to receive thses ideas in e-mails and by phone. God is so good!!
Thanks again!! I will listen on my phone more times today, because I don’t have to come to the computer to get it!!

26. Sher says:

What a breath of fresh water that was because when self is becoming so uncomfortable to bear yet you haven’t quite grasped the completeness of the sweet water of yourself, you fear you might drown in the uncomfortable self that was once comfortable. Thank you for relieving us, encouraging us and inspiriting us to keep with the sweet. There is no mixture. I can’t have, be or think what isn’t of Mind, God. I am in conformity to the sweet, good waters as my Source. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

27. from Wisconsin says:

Very helpful lift, and many helpful comments. Thank you everyone who shares!

28. daryl, NJ says:

Thank you Ginny – what an excellent powerful idea to eliminate any potential for thinking about myself or others as only partially good or pure. I also like Lorraine’s idea of Divinely Natural Attributes – as the only inherent identity for all of us. When i hear of DNA in the news etc i immediatey think “DOES NOT APPLY”. Our source of being and identity is only spiritual – God derived. Thanks again to Ginny and also to Nate and his team in the studio.

29. Sarah says:

A wonderful way to start my day! Thanks!

30. Jackson from Porto Alegre-RS – Brazil says:

Dear Ginny, Thank you so much for this very inspirational Daily Lift.

31. JVS From Missouri says:

Good and Sweet. That’s who we are!!

Thank you Ginny : )

32. Leslie in Durango says:

Ginny,
Thank you so much for this great analogy that is easy to retain and apply for everyone. I sent this to several people I love to share this wonderful “sweet water” and refresh their thought of themselves and others.

33. phyllis says:

how refreshing! i am drinking deep draughts of this. thank you.

34. Joan Wattam says:

Thank you, Ginny. We are refreshed and at peace, and filled right up with sweet water. The security in knowing no bitterness is there – what gratitude; what joy!

35. BLUE GOLD says:

Thank you Ginny. Not only did you clearly define the healing presence of “sweet water” but several examples were given to make the point. You started it with reference to overcomg family tendencies. #2 identifyied it as “old repetitive concepts.” #5 referred to “aggressive thought.” #12 to “old thought patterns.” And #20 made it current with “lower back pain.” The point that I gain is that mortal mind beliefs can take any form or make any claim, but the concept of “sweet water” can wash them away. Mary Baker Eddy gives us specific instruction: “It shall be the duty of every member of this Church to defend himself daily against aggressive mental suggestion – - – ” (Manual page 42). With clarity, this is what Ginny has offered us today, and we can feel the refleshing streams of sweet water washing away the impurities of conscious thought. May I share a healing with #20? On a busiess trilp I was up early on a Sunday morning in my hotel room. It was time to back my bag and head for the airport. But I could hardly move becasue of sharp pain in my lower back. The aggressive thot that came was that my body structure was out of wack. The next thought that came immediately was that it was Sunday morning and I would not be able to attend a church service. But I wanted to be in church. Immediaely I was quoting the definition of church: “The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and procceds from divine Principle.” (S&H p. 583). This is my true structure, not a physical body structure. The pain disappeared. It was an immediate healing. Ginny,, your “Lift” has focused the light of Truth on a mortal mind belief that I have been struggling with for months – constantly accepting temporary relief but resisting a permanent healing. No need to mention the belief. My gratitude is for the foucus on how to defend aganst this aggressive mental suggestion – - cleansing thought with sweet water. Thank you. Thanks.

36. Jan J – Grass Valley, CA says:

Thank you so much, Ginny, for today’s sweet water!

37. Cynthia says:

Thank you, Ginny. I had never thought of that line from the Bible like that and it is a beautiful way to know ourselves.

38. Don from Decatur, GA says:

Thanks, Ginny, for these “sweet” thoughts.

As I looked down the list of “first responders” to your message, I was in awe of how the truth is reaching people around the world so swiftly–Australia, Canada, England, Barbados, France, . . . How wonderful.

Our interaction with media (giving and receiving) is dramatically changed from even a couple of years ago. We touch each other almost instantaneously.

The thoughts we share must reflect the power of the media we employ with proper focus and preparation before it speeds away from us. For then its the hearer’s/reader’s and no longer our own. Love, love, love is our guide and guard in sharing. It is changing the world. Christian Science is touching hearts, positively.

This is truly “sweet water.”

39. Tracy C-K says:

Thank you. Very timely for me. My thoughts feel so mixed sometimes, so it was important to be reminded that bitter & sweet thoughts are an impossibility and to be washed clean; left refreshed. I also want to thank everybody for yesterday’s Lift and comments. There is much needed encouragement found here each day that I treasure greatly.

40. Ginny L. says:

Thank you all for your kindness, your comments, the healings you have shared, and the many helpful metaphysical insights. The joy of being involved in these daily lifts is magnified by what you all have to say! You are wonderful companions in these lifts!
Hearing of healings at lectures is such a joy! Thank you for starting the comments off with your wonderful healing Gladys. That was special.
Enjoy the deep “sweet waters” of today… each of you
Love,
Ginny Luedeman

41. Marilyn from Idaho says:

TALK ABOUT SWEET! Thanks Ginny and everyone

42. Dennis of San Diego,CA says:

I am sweetwater is a good affirmation for me today. Thanks Ginny
Dennis of Beautiful San Diego, California

43. John from Maryland says:

Yes, let us cing to the consciousness of sweet waters and cast out the mortal, material history of bitter waters – that material history can be “expunged”! Thanks, Ginny!

44. Cindi says:

How nice it was this morning to see your name.
If I could draw a picture of the comfort that this gave me it would be when I was a child sitting on the beach with a hole filled with sea water. Pulling a handful of wet sand from the hole and making a mound I then proceeded to pick up more wet sand and then let the sand drip thru my fingers to form layers of drips on the mound. Pretty soon I had a perfectly formed tree. I could sit for hours creating trees around the hole which soon became a pond lined with a forest of trees. Oh sweet water.
Thank you for your inspiration.

45. Sunshine says:

Thank you Ginny and all responders.

46. Noel says:

I love your thought of DNA – does not apply. I have held onto that ever since hearing it in a lecture given by you. To connect that with the sweet and bitter water never mixing, and how we as God’s ideas are not ever made with sweetness or bitterness is such a wonderful idea. I really needed to hear this today. Thank you!!

47. Susan – Vancouver says:

Thank you, Ginny, for the lift today. I love the idea of the flow of only sweet water. I have a pond in my backyard which runs constantly and its soothing constancy is like the infinite flow of God’s allness and supply. I love the comments today from everyone. Much love to you.

48. Jim in St. Louis says:

Thank you Ginny!

49. Amy from NJ says:

Thanks you so much Ginny! Sweet water cleansing me and all with God’s glory and majesty! I am feeling filled up. lots of love to the messenger and daily lift responders!

50. Joy in Alberta, Canada says:

Ginny, and all. I love that Bible story in Revelation — the clear river of water of Life flowing out — and the tree(s) of life for the healing of the nations growing on each side of this pure water!
We’ve got a ‘taste’ of it, in Ruth’s description of the cold spring water in the Canadian prairies — and I have seen it in mountain streams.

Ginny, thank you for this deep drink of pure, sweet water of Truth and Love.
And thank you to all who shared your comments!
Blessings

51. o_O says:

I once heard on RadioSentinel that mortal mind wants us to think that if something is good, it won’t last forever. If something is bad, it seems it will never go away. For a long time, now, my life has been going so perfectly, harmoniously, wonderfully, I find the thoughts coming that it just can’t last; things are going “too well”. Your lift has just verified the prayerful “comeback” that I always use when these thoughts try to work their way in. The fountain doesn’t have any bitter water so send me! Thank you, Ginny. Thanks to everyone that helps provide these great lifts.

52. John in Chico says:

Sweet water, and we’re only good. I like that! Thank you!

53. Ruthilary says:

Divinely Natural Attributes… I Iike that! The nature of them is from the source [God] not from the fount or tap that releases the supply which needs to be kept pure. To credit the sweetness to the tap is like attributing a divinely natural attribute to a chromosome. God can only issue forth perfection….and ‘Mums to be’ can feel assured that God’s forms these attributes sweet and entire.

54. Bev Newsham – Sandpoint, ID says:

Thanks, Ginny! I loved how #35 Blue Gold talked of “Re Fleshing” streams of sweet water. Perhaps it was a typo, but I love the idea of “refleshing”! I think that’s what sweet water thoughts and feelings do – they actually “re flesh” us and we experience healing of our bodies – in the flesh!

Sweet thoughts and feelings to all today!

55. Peggy A. says:

Dear ones …thanks so much for the uplifting thoughts for the day meeting a need..how grateful I am.. will be claiming my innocence and purity and for all.

56. rrh in Topeka, Kansas says:

Many thanks for this uplifting message which came just at the right time for me, here at the office, it seems. Have a good week, everyone !

57. Pril says:

thank you Ginny, How lovely to know that our God-given sweetness cannot be contaminated by “brackish” thoughts –our own or others, since bitterness cannot exist in the Kingdom of God (good). A friend of mine in the mid-west is dealing with a muddy flooded basement, and her task today is to mop and clean until the imposition is removed. Her trust in God and the sweetness of ideas from the divine Mind is an affirmation of purity that is eternally part of her experience. Your lift is a reflection of the purity of those ideas that meet every human need. We are so blessed.

58. another Ginny says:

Loved it! And it lifts! I’m a jail chaplain, and here’s another Bible illustration to show these men their true character and its source. Many thanks.

59. Judy G says:

My Rodale’s Synomyn Finder sits next to my computer…and I was led to look up “sweet”. Wow!! how many different meanings that word has. From some of the obvious referred to in this lovely lift, to more in-depth meanings like: dear, beloved, precious, treasured/ or gracious, likeable, good-natured/ or attractive, comely, beautiful, charming/ or refreshing, wholesome, clean…and so many more. How marvelous to think of ourselves as ONLY containing and representative of the “sweet water” with all these connotations. Thanks for the “sweet” lift friend.

60. Tracy Ann says:

Thank you for your “sweet” idea to help lift my thought through the day. I love that message and will carry it with me.

61. Edie in Portland, OR says:

Thanks, All! Perfectly timed to forward to a dear one. A few years ago I read and heard from various sources that there were many people in India believing the Ganges River is pure, life-giving, associated with the eternity of good, and they would put garbage, feces, dead bodies, etc. in the river to be purified, drinking water by corpses, much to the horror of westerners. But to their surprise, each time westerners tested the water, expecting it to be dangerously poisonous, they found only pure water, test after test, instruments and methods after another, monsoon and dry season. Thought has changed for many now in India, but if this proof of purity withstanding contamination, of spiritual idealism countering materialism/fatalism/mortality, of peace resisting fear/cynicsm is an example for us, we can rejoice, that no matter what happened before or upstream, or what we see and smell around us, and no matter how many people think erroneously, it can’t pollute/adulterate (commit adultery) who and what we are and the blessings before us. We can only live secure in faith that God is keeping us pure, feeding us pure delight, nourishing good results. We are resistant to any contamination. I’ve seen this on mountain streams without the so-called needed microcosms to purify soil and water, with plants or dead bodies, and plant oils nearby not affecting the sweet purity and health-full-ness of the water. Bitter injustices/cruelty, sour attitudes, apparent drought of inspiration, few church workers/well-diggers/cleaners, salination of crystalized rigidity, etc. cannot prevent the purity/perfection of God flowing through and to us, and our complete grace in sharing it. Since we are each only pure sweet water, we cannot fear or condone water wars, privatized water, and terrorism over water. Life is only sweet and we naturally feel/act “sweet.” Say the word, “sweet” and you have to smile. That’s what we all are, Life’s sweet water smile, reflecting Her purity and joy

62. Lisa says:

Thank you, Ginny! What a fresh idea we’re always renewed… always pure, always good, always loved… and DNA does not apply. I always love listening to the ideas you share, what a blessing you are!

love you!

63. Jill from L.A. says:

What a “refreshing” idea this is! Thanks, Ginny. It helped me see today as I ponder what seems to be a mixed blessing, that it can’t be mixed. It can only be a blessing. It can only be sweet water, no bitter. What a joyous, freeing thought! Thanks again.

64. M. Lee, Okla. says:

Thanks to Ginny, Nate, and all the “Lifters” for today’s ideas. With all the talk about water scarcity, oil spilled on water, flood waters, etc. this morning’s message puts it all into perspective. We will enjoy pure water from God’s fountain.

65. carol wagner says:

“Life most sweet!”

66. Priscilla in Portland says:

How wonderful to see ourselves as sweet water and to think of the expanded meanings found in the synonym finder. I like the thought that sweet can imply treasured, precious, beautiful, wholesome. If I think of myself and others exhibiting only “clean” characteristics, I can see us as precious and beautiful. There are no other attributes.

67. Jackie in Oswego, Illinois says:

How very sweet! Someone once referred to me as “sweet” and I took offense to this, repelled by what felt to me at the time as a label lacking in substance, having only a sacharine or superficial meaning attaching itself to me.

I have since looked at this reaction many times through the years and thought how blinded I was by the sense of needing to achieve a status in the eyes of the world as having the substance of meat or grit in order to be of use or value as a woman in the world.

Seeing man as generic and not relegated to human gender as appropriating guantifiable value of less and more, I now value that sense of what another recognized as worth appreciating as a precious spiritual quality of God’s sweet nature, and am grateful to be reminded of our need to see sweetness as all there is of our own true nature as God’s precious children created in His likeness. Thank you, Ginny, for this wonderful Lift.

68. J.S. in Ky says:

Thank you, Ginny, for a very sweet water dip to cleanse our sense of self, and also how we see others. I’ve often used this Bible verse to clarify and keep thoughts when I’ve worked on problems, but your Lift today made me realize I’ve not used it often enough or thoroughly as possible. I’ve got some personal dipping in sweet water yet to do, and at first, I meant to write that I need to dip certain others very thoroughly in the sweet water concept, but before I could start, an angel whispered that no one else needs dipping. I only need to rinse my spiritual eyes with sweet water and see others more clearly. One verse to a very old song for children went, “This is the way we wash our clothes, ……so early in the morning.” lends itself now to, “This is the way we rinse our view,……so early in the morning.” Looks like I’ll be in the spiritual laundry room for awhile.

69. Rhita says:

Another good lift! Thank you.

70. CW of Dana Point says:

Excellent message, Ginny, and please keep the Spanish translations coming too, Elena.

71. Jackie says:

Thanks so much. I even got a “Matthew Code” on how bad I am. Your message today confirms the message I received in prayer from the Father.
Thank you, thank you.

72. K from Arizona says:

Seems that there’s a lot of bad press about Arizona, so I’m applying these sweet truths to this falsity. I’m uplifted to think of the innate sweetness of all. No mixtures, no amalgamations allowed! Error is never a person, a place or a thing, no, just mortal mind lying.

73. Robert Weiss, Raymore, MO says:

Ginny: Thanks so much…Some really great ideas!…Bob

74. Marilyn from Maine says:

Thanks. I listened to this in the morning and again just now. Good thoughts to open and close my day. I also have appreciated your articles and interviews over the years.

75. Anne says:

Thanks, Ginny! I’ve battled with Celtic heritage (100%, it seems.) Love the music, the folklore, the strengths,,, I do not wish to cherish anything that comes not from God,…this was helpful!

76. Valentim Sebastião Butoto, Angola says:

Oi , prezada Ginny, muito obrigado pelo daily lilftde hoje.

77. Tracy C-K says:

I always check back in to listen again and read the new comments. I hope some of you folks do too. My goodness, I enjoyed them all so much, from e #44 Cindi’s soothing, patient desciption of sand building of a pond lined with a forest of trees, to #61 Edie’s radical metaphysics shared. #59 Judy, thanks for the added synonymns for sweet. #63 Jill, I appreciated being reminded of no such thing as a mixed blessing – since I just found out a good friend got a wonderful new job that will have her relocating. And #68 J.S., you made me chuckle and nod. Love you folks and hope you feel it!

78. darlene, los angeles says:

ginny–beautiful thoughts. thank you. today is wed: day after your broadcast. so happy to be reminded of sweet/bitter…good/evil. no intermingling.

sincerely yours.

79. Rhonda says:

I was thinking about the thought presented…”Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?” Of course not! It would be impossible. God is our fountain and he sends forth only good. In the 1st chapter of Genesis it states that God made us and He saw everything he had made and it was very good. Good alone is our source. As Ginny said, we are only good….we are sweet water. That wipes out anything in our past or present that claims that we are part bad. That would be impossible!

Thank you all for your helpful comments. I do have to especially thank #20 for including words by Mary Baker Eddy, Mis 224:23. Such a perfect addition to this lift. I am going to tape it up where I can see it every day to make sure my charity (my love for mankind) is broad enough and sweet enough! What a Lift! Godspeed to all!

80. Faye’s Gratitude says:

I have listened this beautiful message so many times and written reminders to myself about it. It is right for me to express my deepest gratitude for it. It is so UP LIFTING! Thank you, so very much!!
