When we feel sorry for ourselves, we must remember to count our blessings –start by remembering Genesis 1:26, 27, God has chosen us to be His/Her own image and likeness.

Our cup “runneth over” Psalm 23

And all those tough times we went through?
Big lessons. He has given us His own son to guide us!
"Every trial of our faith in God makes us stronger. The more difficult seems the material condition to be overcome by Spirit, the stronger should be our faith and the purer our love" S&H 410:14
When we begin to be grateful we begin to receive.

ESPAÑOL
Cuando nos sentimos miserables, recordemos nuestras bendiciones –y comenzemos por recordar Génesis 1:26, 27, Dios nos eligió para ser Su propia imagen y semejanza.

Nuestra copa “está rebozando” Salmo 23:5

¿Y todos esos momentos duros que pasamos?
Grandes lecciones. ¡Él nos ha dado a Su propio hijo para guiarnos!
“Cada prueba de nuestra fe en Dios nos hace más fuertes. Cuanto más difícil parezca la circunstancia material que deba vencer el Espíritu, tanto más fuerte debiera ser nuestra fe y tanto más puro nuestro amor” Cys 410:14
Cuando aprendemos a agradecer comenzamos a recibir.

Thank you Chet for this enlightening Lift. As our human lives become more demanding on our time and energies this is our opportunity to individually prove Gods allness and his care for us in not simply meeting those needs, but glorifying God in a way that blesses us and those with whom we come into contact. Mary Baker Eddy says, "Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind,.." As we look to the spiritual to meet our human needs we find an endless source of supply. In Miscellaneous Writings page 307 Mrs. Eddy says,"it is enough that divine Love is an ever-present help; and if you wait, never doubting, you will have all you need every moment."

Thank you Chet I felt all your Love pouring forth this morning!

right on, Chet... no fractional parts to GOD, Our Almighty supplier of ALL: GOOD! GOD/Father,Mother
MIND knows only completeness and divine glory, sufficient for meeting the needs of all his COGS
(Children of GOD). We know Him/Her as Scientifically AMPLE for all human needs,...never one lacking
area of spiritual goodness ! See GOD as He/She IS...everywhere present,everywhere ACTIVE,POTENT,
STRONG,LOVING Divine Principle ! Have a great day finding this out and Sharing with everyone..No
one left out, left unhealed, left unfilled, left unsatisfied, hungry for completeness!!! We have it ALL !!
Amen. ARN ~ Middlewich/UK

Thank you so much for this Lift today,to have no empty cups! Just for today to know for me!

Thank you a REAL top up!

Thank you.

Dear Chet, I as well was standing in my kitchen this morning, and I as well seemed to be looking into an half empty glas, when I heard your wonderful lift that lifted me to new hights. I was so filled with gratitude. Thank you so much!
Manfred from Germany

Thank you so much for this powerful Lift. So true! And thank you Arn (#4) for your hymn of praise!

Much gratitude for this lift... just right for my needs --- and as the Father is doing the work, we can step back and see His never-exhausted activity in action! Thank you all for your rich giving.

This is really beautiful.

Thank you. So helpful this morning. Blessings to you.

Many thanks Chet for this great lift. Yes. "A river of infinite Love that runs over and over." Like the leaves falling in my back yard right now. I've just gathered over sixty tall bags full, and they still keep falling." "Our God is Love, unchanging Love,/ And can we ask for more?/ Our prayer for Love's increase is vain;/ 'Twas infinite before." (Christian Science Hymnal #269).

A timely Lift . Hymn 134 from the Chtistian Science hymnal ,the words by John Greenleaf Whittier , comes to mind "Immortal Love ,forever full .forever flowing free . Forever shared , forever whole . A never ebbing sea "
Much Love and thanks to you Chet . .

We should rejoice in childlike simplicity and expectation. In Bow New Hampshire, where Mary Baker Eddy was born, there is Profile Falls, on one of the tributaries of the mighty Merrimac River. In the summer, this was one of our childhood destinations, when we were old enough to explore away from home with our friends. You can stand underneath the Falls with your back to the rock and let it pass in front of you and feel the natural air conditioning on a blistering hot summer day. Or you can jump in the pool of water beneath it and swim. Sometimes we used to put our kayaks in the pool and practice rolling. But that Falls is no different now than it was in the 1800's. It is still giving anyone a cool summer place to swim or drink (water) or play. It can never run out, no matter the global conditions. Spiritual ideas are like that small Falls. Jesus, in Mathew 13 says, "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance; but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath."
When our expectation is spiritualized we have more than we need humanly. This is what we are more than able to do. One of my friends today drives an original red 1931 Ford Model-A any day he feels like taking it out. He doesn't complain that he needs a new car. He rejoices in what he already has. We should all keep that childlike expectation of good even as we grow in spiritual understanding.

How wonderful, Chet, to think that no one was left out of the overflowing cup of Love! Everyone who was there on the hillside, and everyone since then. I love that verse in I John "Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, , , " Not one is missed out, from ". . . before the mountains and fountains and hills and depths. . . " And the cup will never be less than ". . . the river of infinite Love that runs over and over and over. . . "
Thank you Nate and the production team; the Board of Lectureship and the and each and every one of the Daily Lifters.

Muchas gracias, Chet, he comprendido a traves de tus palabras que depende de cada uno de nosotros como vemos el mundo que nos rodea. Si logramos orar con la inperturbable firmeza de seguridad, que Dios siempre nos proveerá y que los problemas a nuestro alrededor se resolverán, veremos nuestro mundo pacífico, sin caos, confiable, bello, o sea así como tu dices el vaso lleno. La semana pasada, hubo un corte de luz generalizado en nuestra Buenos Aires. Sin semáforos en la hora pico de regreso a casa. Después de orar, con nuestra seguridad y confianza interior, que Dios nos mostrará nuestro camino correcto y en paz, pudimos observar que todo el tránsito y los peatones se comportaron correctamente en nuestra populosa ciudad. No tocaron bocina, esperaron ordenadamente el cruce de los peatones y pudimos llegar a nuestro destino a tiempo. Comentamos esta experiencia con otros y nos llmó la atención que ellos no vieron lo mismo. Con tu DL, Chet hemos comprendido la verdad, que en todos los casos debemos alzar nuestra vista al Padre y estar agradecidos y seguros que nuestra copa estará siempre llena.

Thank you Chet for that perfect start to the day. Robert #13 thank you also especially for the statement about expectation. I work with that a lot, the need to have expectation. Elena #1 and Martin #2 thanks to you all as well. So many healing thoughts.

Many years ago when I was without work and actively looking for some, there were many days when the road seemed long, lonely and difficult. I never gave up applying the teachings of Christian Science and if it was one time I placed all of my trust in God, regardless of what people said and did, was that time (and many many others till the point it is all I do now).

A friend called on a particularly low day and she asked "do you feel your glass is half empty or half full?" I immediately replied "I am just grateful to have a glass." I knew that was God speaking because both she and I laughed for a while. I ended the call and found myself sitting with tears of gratitude. I had never thought of just being grateful for the glass.

I then thought of all of the times I would pour myself a glass of water, drink some of it and then after a while give the rest to the plants. I realized that there are times I wanted to have more than I needed so I agree with Chet in that my cup was running over with all I needed.

Did you know that when you fill a glass with water you empty it of air? What that means is that, even though we cannot see it, our glass IS already full.

Thanks to all. Much love.

Thanks so much for inspired thought. Regards, Mario from Sao Paulo, Brazilk

This Lift really touched my heart! It made me more aware of God's constant care and reliability! God is always there for us! But remembering that and trusting in His care is mandatory! Thank you Chet!

This is such an amazing lift. Thank you very much for sharing such deep thoughts from your heart. I am grateful! :)

Your message is so timely and right on. And it's not just the holidays, it's the every-days. The river that flows from God through my cup has new inspiration. Thank you.

La copa esta colmada no vacia, y podemos demostrarlo.

El domingo pasado nos visito una delegacion de representantes de la Iglesia Madre para informar sobre los cambios realizados en el Heraldo a men de otras consideraciones sobre la tarea que se ha realizado por los integrantes del Heraldo y realmente debemos estar muy agradecidos a todos por el esfuerzo desarrollado para llevar adelante la Ciencia Critiana con cambios que se hacen necesarios de acuerdo a los adelantos tecnologicos y servirse de ellos para ampliar y difundir la idea Cristiana, entiendo tambien que es necesario ser informados los miembros y adherente del esfuerzo que se realiza en procura de un mayor desarrollo, es una prueba de que la copa no esta vacia sino llena de ideas y que se hace necesario que seamos receptivas a ellas,,agradeciendo permanentemente tanto esfuerzo que demanda dicha tarea, y apoyar en oracion a los obreros, "ya que la miez es mucha y los obreros pocos" o asi lo parece.

Muchas gracias Chet, desvordemos la copa con nuevas ideas que bendicen a todos por igual.

Thanks Chet for this inspiring lift today. I had been feeling really down and very tired lately since the passing of my dear Mum a month ago, but this lift has encouraged me to look up to joy-filled days instead of down into what seem to be long empty days. I am so grateful for these daily lifts and for Christian Science - my lifeline.

Thanks Chet
Deeply touching, heart felt message." My cup runneth I touch eternity" as I listen to your precious DL

I also very much appreciated the comment of #17. It pure metaphysics: there is never an empty glass. It's an illusion, an impossibility, an unreality.
Thank you all for the comments.

Vielen Dank! It's like the fall leaves right now here- falling and whirling and heaping up everywhere, gracefully and colourfull!

Thanks Chet, What a lovely Lift! I am so grateful for all the wonderful proofs of God's unfailing goodness in my life. As you say it is like an ever-flowing river, a constant out pouring. Martin's two quotes of Mrs Eddy's are two of my favorites! #2 Thanks to all the Lifters for all comments, more examples of abundance. We are all SO blessed !

Thank you so much, Chet! Sometimes I need that kind of explanation.

Great inspiration as I get ready to go to work in the Reading Room!

Thank you Chet. This was just what I needed to hear this morning. I was elected to a church position last night and was wondering how I am going to fit in the time I need for preparation. But the reminder that my cup is running over has helped free me from feeling overburdened and made me realize that I have all I need right now and going forward - the time, the inspiration and the ability.

Thank you for the wake up moment and the reminder of what to do when feeling lack, fear or overwhelmed . . . . just remember to look up PRAY and feel within the overflowing peace, abundance, truth and gratitude that spirit abundantly provides.

How wonderful to share your healing thoughts and demonstration of divine Love with everyone today! Yes, we do have a great God who loves us all dearly, and no one is left out of Her generous giving.
All our cups are already running over to bless ourselves and others. Thank you for the proof positive!

Thank you, Chet! Just the lift I needed!

Wonderful thought and amazing comments!
Thank you Chet and all the commentators!

Good morning everyone and my cup certainly runneth over. As I stepped up into my living room from the bedroom this morning I expressed my gratitude to God for the warmth of now having automatic heat (instead of just a fireplace) and a home to heat when so many are homeless. Then for the kitchen which I was able to update all of the 20 years or more old appliances about 6 years ago. After a separation of about 28 years, my husband and I got back together about 20 years ago, two years after I bought this 40+ years old house. And I expressed my deepest gratitude for all he has done to improve the house and the property. My heart was just overflowing with gratitude when I opened this wonderful Lift. What a great way to start the day. No half full or half empty cups for me! Thanks to all - each and every commenter and those giving us these lifts to bless our day!

Beautiful! Thanks Chet

Thanks, Chet -- I needed that! Listened to it twice in a row!

Awesome concept and thought! Thnak you! I will now look at that verse of the 23rd Pslam in a new light!

Looking for chocolate milk in the cup doesn’t work so well. There is never enough! And, it is gone really fast. As we look to clear, clean spiritual facts, our tastes just change and we find plenty of water in the cup to sustain us… forever. The cup is HUGE!

Well, you said it all, Chet! Thanks!

Thank you for your wonderful lift, Chet. Lori #35, I share in your heart's joyfulness with gratitude. Indeed our cups are running over. Blessings to you always.

Isso me faz lembrar, que devemos estar atentos ao erro, que nos murmura dizendo que "a casa está vazia", mas com a nossa vigilância diária, devemos negar esse erro e firmar que a "casa está cheia de ideias espirituais" e isso é o fermento levedando toda a massa. A nossa casa espiritual está sempre repleta e isso é maravilhoso. Agradecida pela linda inspiração. MC Porto Alegre - Brasil

Wow! This is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so very much. I'm bookmarking this Lift.

Thank you, Chet, for “No empty cups … half empty or half full? … God doesn’t ever give us a half-cup of anything … Thank you, God, for a whole new view of the cup you’ve given to me and to everyone …” Recently, I read that “the cup” is always full: one half with liquid and the other half with air. It gave me a “new view.” In Christian Science, I’ve learned to pray without outlining how exactly God is “supposed to” answer my prayer. No limited human view. Instead, a new view, an expectation of infinite possibilities, of all Good unfolding, uninterrupted. I’m so grateful to this church for teaching me to pray with such openness to and trust of God’s guidance and protection. “May this dear little church, nestled so near my heart … be steadfast in Christ, always abounding in love and good works, having unfaltering faith in the prophecies, promises, and proofs of Holy Writ. May this church have one God, one Christ, and that one the God and Saviour whom the Scriptures declare. May it … leave behind those things that are behind, lay down the low laurels of vainglory, and, pressing forward in the onward march of Truth, run in joy, health, holiness, the race set before it, till … it finds the full fruition of its faith, hope, and prayer. (My. 155)

Thanks Chet! This was just exactly what my son and I needed to hear this morning.

...so, dear Chet, does that mean that the sense of depletion is just the counterfeit of the overflowing cup that is the reality of our life in the Kingdom? Hooray!

Chet,
Wow, I really needed this reminder at this very moment! Thank you.
And thank you for your tireless work for our movement. "To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings." vii of Science and Health

Thank you, Chet. It helped me so much. A simple concept made practical, relevant, and uplifting!!

An old spiritual says "His love is like a river,
A rushing and a rollin
And runnin through the deep blue sea
Runnin through the mountains
Rushin through the valleys
And everywhere in between."
Sometimes our cup seems too full--of responsibility, but that responsibility lifts in proportion as we let the love come in--like the air in the empty glass.

Thank you Chet, very uplifting and comforting.

Since His blessings are infinite, there will never be a glass big enough...You might as well toss the cup and just stand under The Fountain! :) :) :)

A hearty thank you Chet and others. for this full cup of goodness and mercy this morning.

This one nailed it!!! Thanks Chet

Thanks, Chet, for this idea of getting "the cup being half empty or half full" out of thinking and of tourning all thoughts to the grand encouraging TRUTH that everybody's cup "runneth over" with goodness, inspiration, healing, humour, joy, gratitude, strength now! Once again, thank you!!

Just what I needed today to get through many tasks. Thank you.

Beautiful message, thank you so much Chet!

Very heartfelt delivery, Chet. You definitely weren't just repeating some words. You were experiencing this blessing, and you shared this with me. It was warm and comfortable. This "lift" runs over with blessings for each of us hearers--coming from your experience that we can now make ours.

Thank you.

Don

Thanks Chet and all the magnificent lifts...........!

Thank you, for reminding us to look up, Look up to God and know every thing and everybody is/are in the right place.

Purely lovely,Chet.Thank you.
I recall a time when life seemed so hopeless and limited that I could hardly think straight,I happened to take note of a fountain in the center of the mall I was in.I had been near and around that fountain many,many times,but at that moment I suddenly became aware of its sound and activity.
Suddenly I realized God was like that,always pouring out the good,but I had been so full of my heavy thoughts that I was unaware of Him.
Believe me,it was a life-cahnging event.
How grateful I remain for His presence and fullness.

Thank you, Chet, for this most loving, helpful, and timely Lift! God is so good, and claiming that goodness for ourselves can truly be awesome!

Thank you indeed! I needed to hear that today and lots of others did so!

Beautiful! Overflowing with gratitude
Qué belleza! Desbordando de gratitud.

So true to stop and look up and out!
Thanks Chet.

Wow. Deeply moved, and I thank you. Made me aware of what is all around me.

This morning I was counting all of the things I have been given from God--home, heat, food --the list goes on and on for which I am so thankful. Your lift was wonderful and fit right in with my thoughts this morning. My cup runneth over with blessings.

Thank you very much Chet !!!

Much love to you ,

Thank you Chet - this is so perfect! I have been pondering over the last several weeks why does supply seem to always be just enough that I can't get ahead of the work on my desk, the bills to be paid, time with my kids, etc? I started thinking about how the fount is always overflowing in the Bible, the vessels of oil stayed for the widow woman so she and her family had all and more and realized I have to accept and expect that the well is overflowing, or as my teacher put it this weekend, we have super abundance!

I really appreciate your take on this message as well to solidify this idea in my thought and hopefully, circumstance as well!

Thank you for this wonderful uplifting "Lift" today! So pure and clear in your spiritual, helpful message. This is a cup I want to carry with me everywhere I go, every moment of my day. What a blessing!

Material life is demanding, no doubt about that. But you know, God Good helps us in solving these demands, so we shouldn't feel sorry for ourselves in solving them. Our attitude should be; "Thank God for this demand, it will only cause me to go up higher in spiritual understanding." My cup is never empty of challengers to meet, and thank God for Mary Baker Eddy and her discovery of Christian Science to help with these challenges.

Thanks, Chet. This is just what I needed to hear this morning. Bless you as you go about your day.

Thank you for your candor, Chet, and for sharing your healing inspiration. Wonderful comments -truly too many to thank individually. I Google translated the non-English ones and am grateful to hear about those demonstrations. The Lift is definitely a steady resource, keeping us aware of our full cup; that constant flowing river of goodness! Appreciate you all so much. xo Tracy

Thank you Chet for mentioning how our cup runneth over and over. I needed to be reminded. Thank you for your message.

My cup runneth over with Love!

Comparto absolutamente la interpretación de Herberte (N* 17) de mi ciudad Buenos Aires.
Es nuestro estado de conciencia, nuestra convicción acerca de estas verdades aboslutas lo que determina que Herbert haya visto un fluir ordenado para salir del atascamiento y otros vieran una situación imposible.
Nuestro estado interior se refleja en nuestras circunstancias y las modifica.
Otro comentarista se pregunta ¿ y los momentos duros que pasamos ? La CC dice claramente que Nunca Existieron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Si Dios es Todo y es enteramente Bueno y la Abundancia es Infinita esos "duros momentos " fueron la externalización de un pensamiento falso que transitoriamente creo sus propias erróneas circunstancias

Yes, Chet, my cup doth overflow as it always has. Sometimes I haven't always recoginized my abundance though and it takes God's angel thoughts to get me back on track. I had been considering getting another dog but hadn't taken any human steps to do so when an acquaintence I have known for several years found out my dog was gone and asked if I wanted another. His family had found one but already had several and couldn't keep it. So Grizz came to live with me and now both our cups runneth over. God blesses all of us in so many ways.
Thanks Chet and all who bring us these wonderful Lifts that so enrich our lives.

Thank you.

Thank you for countering a familiar feeling with the inspiring Truth of full capacity.

Thanks so much Chet for this reminder of just how full and ever-present God's love is. I love the practical demonstration of His love always in our daily lives and I'm so grateful for abundant blessings we all receive. Our "cups" runneth over!!!

BINGO! Chet, you hit the nail on the head! Thank you God! Thank you for your fullness of Joy.

Thanks for this wonderful inspiration!

Thank you so much Chet for, the important and inspiring lift.

Helen Wood Bauman, a prolific editor of the CS Sentinel, was once asked, "How do you get so much
inspiration for your articles?" She answered very humbly, "My dear, as you turn to Spirit, it is like holding a teacup under Niagara Falls." [I can't verify this quote, but maybe we could each try it ourselves.] Thanks to 'Chet & Lifters', this concert ROCKS !

Jesus "looked up" and shared his overflowing cup of understanding with the multitudes.

Mrs Eddy says in Science and Health, "Happiness is spiritual, born of Truth and Love. It is unselfish; therefore it cannot exist alone, but requires all mankind to share it."

and then I am led to read the story of Lazarus and the rich man, who "fared sumptuously every day." Luke 16: 19-31, a great story, a great reminder…Jesus was the richest man to ever trod the globe, and he never hesitated, through the biddings of divine Love, through his earthly mission, to share his riches..

the spirit of God moved him in everything he said and did, "spiritual barrenness" did not debar him "from giving drink to the thirsty." As Mrs Eddy says, "mental penury" chills "faith and understanding," and it does debar us "from giving drink to the thirsty."

I just love exploring these Lifts! thank you Chet, and DL Community..

Such a precious lift... thank you so very much!

Thank you Chet for this uplifting thought is just what I needed this morning. My cup runneth over and is not half full. This morning I felt as if I am in the wilderness and right now I need to know that goodness and mercy is following also

Wonderful Lift, and such an abundance of gratitude and spiritual thought in the responses. Especially appreciated the humor of Nancy's (#40) chocolate milk and Elizabeth's (#51) fountain.! I, too, was feeling overburdened today, and this Lift has hit the spot. I am grateful.

Thanks! I needed that!

All the children are gone now and the pets we had at our old home. We thought we wanted the quiet life, indulging in our new found freedom. Well, in this past ten years or so we took in two active little boys, a stray cat and who knows what next! Yes, our cup runneth over and over and over, and I am filled with gratitiude that patience, strength, inspiration and love is spilling over too. Thanks to all

Such grace
such sufficiency
God thinking with abundance
and we are receiving that abundance

Love Mind's timing! Great message. Thanks so much.

Thank you, Chet, and to each Daily Lifter who shared a comment. In thinking about the "takeaway" from this lovely lift, I am struck by the overflowing abundance of the Psalmist's cup washing clean any proclivity to "natter" (OED: fret, grumble). Nattering is what makes the glass appear to be half empty, at least in my experience.

Just what I too needed:-) I've been in a "seeming" funk for no reason. Nice to know I'm not alone. Thanks for the wake up call.

The Daily Lift community is such a beautiful illustration of this theme - the love and inspiration just keep pouring out! It's a hint of the spiritual fact that good always MULTIPLIES just as it did with the loaves and fish. Thank you all!

Oh, Chet...I love it. I am loving to be in that river of love that floweth over and over and over! And to so gratefully see that no one is left out! Thanks bunches!

Thank you, Chet and all my lifter friends!!!
Beautiful message and comments!
Love to all

Thank you, Chet! Such a great idea to remember as I go about reflecting God's dominion today!

john from idaho the message and comments realy are a DL

Lovely heart warming delivery of such an important message. God fills our glasses, and all we need to do is just give thanks for all our blessings.

I love hearing this from a Christian Science Practitioner because it makes me realize I'm not the only one, and feeling like this at times, cannot stop us from doing God's work.

Thank you for today's Lift! I also am also thoroughly delighting in the joyous response this Lift has received!!

Ah . . . sweet! Not a cup half-empty, OR half-full . . I'm with #51 Elizabeth--just toss the cup (limits) and stand under the Fountain! Special hugs to #24 Linda . . . and #36 Lori--I do so appreciate your story of restoration.

thanks to every single loving person involved in the production and appreciation of this Lift.

Thank you! What a powerful lift! And I especially love the warm, vigorous, strong voice, the vitality and energy. Thanks. So much to be grateful for.

I have been praying about the subject of supply for several months now, and my focus has come to the stories of Jesus feeding the five thousand (and more). So your lift today is meaningful to me, and much needed in the world (the U.S. financial cliff, the debt in Greece). Thank you so much Chet.
When Jesus fed the five thousand, he actively involved his disciples: "Give ye them to eat." (Luke 9)
This might seem a perplexing demand when we feel hungry or helpless ourselves, but when we realize
"Our cup runneth over", and that "Soul has infinite resources with which to bless mankind...." (S&H pg.60), like the disciples, we can take the right steps - through gratitude, order, meekness, generosity, honesty, faith, wisdom - that results in every need being met.

Thank you, Chet...what a beautiful and inspiring lift. Just what I needed today. I am sharing this lift with family and friends.

Aloha!
So inspiring and so beautiful. I am so grateful for this message. Mahalo.

\JG De Silva

Thank you, "my cup runeth over", just knowing about Mary Baker Eddy, and her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, What Joy!

Thanks, Chet, for giving me a new viewpoint in a love-filled way. I used to think that a "glass half-full" was being positive, but now I realize it is always full and overflowing with God's blessings.

To Troy from Barbados: Welcome back! I always love to read your comments and today was no exception. You have a beautiful way of explaining things so clearly.

Love to all!

Wow, just Wow, what a beautiful message! Thank you!

Thank you Chet for this joyce-giving lift - filling my cup- coming at exactly the right time to me, as to many others, and thanks to all who commented sharing such precious ideas.

Such a beautiful lift and comments. Blessings and love to all.

Dear Chet - your lift is soo refreshing! And it goes directly to reason and to the heart. Thank you very much !

Many thanks, from me, too. I had been thinking, earlier this morning, about the idea of offering a "cup of cold water in Christ's name" and how "[t]hose ready for the blessing you impart will give thanks," from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, p. 570:14-25:

"Millions of unprejudiced minds — simple seekers for Truth, weary wanderers, athirst in the desert — are waiting and watching for rest and drink. Give them a cup of cold water in Christ’s name, and never fear the consequences. What if the old dragon should send forth a new flood to drown the Christ-idea? He can neither drown your voice with its roar, nor again sink the world into the deep waters of chaos and old night. In this age the earth will help the woman; the spiritual idea will be understood. Those ready for the blessing you impart will give thanks. The waters will be pacified, and Christ will command the wave."

Today's Lift certainly demonstrates this, and is such a blessing, too.

Hey Chet and DL team. Your message today and each day is awesome. May we each feel that outpouring of Love which is the same infinite blessing yesterday, today and forever MORE!

Thank you upLifters. Your comments reach my heart...

You have the best answer EVER to the old question "Is your cup half empty or half full?" MY CUP RUNTH OVER----- Amen to that Thanks alot Chet for your neat lift today it was just great!.

Thank you so much Chet, for this beautiful lift. It went straight to my heart and completely drove out an old fear which has blocked my thinking for years ,as I had a greater revelation of the Infinite Love who couldn't possibly give us anything but infinite Good.. Jesus said 'and the Truth shall set you free'. This was really true for me today!
Thank you and Bless you Chet.
Pippa

Hey Chet,
This lift made me pause and think about all the people, myself included, who have often groused about what's missing from our cup. And then your response from Psalms 23 where David points out, "my cup runneth over". So I thought for a moment about this overflow and where it goes. Suddenly I realized God gave David a cup and a half.

Years ago you would go to a soda fountain and order milkshake. They would mix the ingredients in a large metal tumbler, bring it to the table and fill your glass. But back then they always left the tumbler and its extra contents for you as a refill.

You might look at this tumbler as only being partially full instead of realizing it was overflow. When our attention is taken away from the glass, which is already full, and directed to the overflow in the tumbler, it might appear to be lacking something instead of holding "more than we accept" in the first place.

The key is gratitude. If we take our gaze away from our half full cup, looking hard enough with eyes filled with gratitude, we will soon find the source which may just be another cup already filled to the brim that we overlooked. Instead of looking at our cup, let's focus on its contents and where it came from.

And if things start to get a little empty, you can always get a refill by mixing the two glasses together.

Thank you, Chet! You woke me up to gratitude today!

So Grateful Chet,
While trying to encourage a friend, who seemed depressed about the current state of our Country, I began to pray earnestly to find comforting words to share.
The easiest way for me to communicate thoughts ,in a condensed
manner, is through poetry. After absorbing your simple and profound LIFT
a Title and 14 line poem "fell" on the page in about 5 minutes.
Full Cup Quickly.
THANK YOU
Journey

Thanks for another beautiful, healing message!

That is a joyful revelation -
Thank for sharing this with us - truly helpful.

A day late but most thankful for this inspired thought----it is nice to know we all have "full overrunning cups" we always start there we just at that point had not realized that God's cup is always full

Thanks Chet, I did not get to my computer yesterday (too many other pressing issues) so this is just what I needed to hear today! I, too, have an over running cup and today that will be up most in my thought! Really do appreciate that reminder!

To #109 Monique from Beirut, Lebanon: So glad to see your city on this list! Love to you and it.

Also to Michael: what a great analogy! I love the verse in Psalms that says: "Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law." May no one be mesmerized by the material. All have spiritual sense to "behold wondrous things."

To Michael #116: I love what you said! That is a great explanation. Just wanted to thank you for sharing!

Thank you!! , Blessings and Love fills our cups today, and Eternally.

Thank you..., Beautiful message to ponder. Blessings of Love and graditude fills our cups.

Dear Chet, Your strong message could not have been more timely!!

Re-think and add gratitude for all the above comments. In particular # 121 commented, "a day late", for which I am really really grateful, that when conflicted with feeling someone else arrives late, I say aloud, to them, "Thank you for coming, you are RIGHT on time." This counteracts time's lies about fastening false delays on our thinking. In other words, once we are all present, we can begin the "task" and be filled with gratitude for our cup being full and that we are all focused on good.

Chet this is wonderful, I think this is one of the best ever Lifts!

Maybe it is because it is meeting me right where I think I am, isn't that what the Christ does? Meets us right where we are, and why, because we are the individual, though never separate, expression of Christ brothers and sister in Christ.

Thank you!

Every part of each day is filled with the overflowing abundance of grace, goodness, and peace. It is up to me to expect and experience it. Sincere gratitude Chet for your cheerful, clear message.

Dear Chet,

Thank you for another timely message, no wonder that "love and inspiration just keep pouring out!"

Thank you!!!

Thank you this is true and helpful.
Ever present ever available is te abundance of Divine Love.

This really means a lot. Thank you so much for your expression Chet.

so lovely. Yes we do need to just stop and give gratitude for all the wonderful things in our lives, it doesn't take long to see that our 'cups are overflowing' with abundant good.
When I was little and problems arose my dad would come and sit with me by my bed, helping me clear my thinking. The analogy he used, was: if we kept pouring clean water into a bucket of muddy water it would wash away all the impurities and there would be only perfect clean clear water left.
that was what we had to do with our thinking.
thank you for the reminder of those lovely words of wisdom

WITH OVERFLOWING GRATITUDE!

Thank you so much for this Lift. This is a very practical idea I can carry in my pocket with me daily. I can remember when thoughts of lack try and crowd my thinking, to turn to this idea from Psalms. The visualization of a cup full and running over is wonderful.

Thank you Chet for this beautiful message and for the wonderful walk in Central Park last Saturday thinking about The Sermon on the Mount. It was a time of inspiration for all of us and will continue to be so.

Thank you Chet. Energy, Inspiration and Time...three great words I will work with. I have so many Lifts to catch up with, I haven't read all the letters, but love what I've seen..

Wonderful!
Thank you!!
