Amen! Thanks Tom!!

Thanks, Tom. Great reminder.

I am SO grateful for this reminder! I am definitely going to feel the warmth and light of God's love and intelligence expressed throughout my day....and recognize that Love is the source and impetus of ALL the good that I see...and all the good I do.

Thank you Tom !

Yesterday, while thinking about people's need for healing, I looked up, in Mrs Eddy's writings..''my reason for existing'' and found it on page 265 of Miscellany....the scientific response to What am I ? ''..I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is the rock of salvation and my reason for existing.''
A strong message to us all.! Thank you for the wonderful Daily Lifts

I love this metaphor of the sun. It can be applied in so many ways. Thank you Tom

we need to acknowledge God's Glory in every little thing we do or see or feel
Thanks Tom for this beautiful image with the rising sun

Thanks Tom! "For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever."

Excellent, clear expression of what God is and man, as His expression. Thank you, Tom.

Thank you Tom! "Ye are the light of the world."

Thanks, Tom - how beautifully this fits in with this week's Lesson!

Great idea giving sense to life and to everyday business - as you said : from cleaning the floor to dealing with challenges at work and saying hello with a smile to people around you... Yes I will work out this day to the glory of God- Thanks a lot

every what I do...big or small--- just great.

Thank you Tom

How wonderful Tom! Great words to complete this glorious Monday. Many many thanks to you.

Thank you! That was just the boost I needed!

Thank you Mr McElroy, and thank you to all the Lecturers for these Daily Lifts. I really 'entered in' to what you say today. It is as though we are the human manifestation of God - of His qualities others may see at work in us - just as with the Master, when he walked his earthly course. And we are also so very individual - like the various colours of the rainbow - each hue beautifying the others as we each demonstrate in differing ways our understanding of God in every changing moment - the Glory of God: expressed!

Thank you Tom. Humility is synonymous, if we give God's glory in everything we do. when i put God in my heart then his glory filled me.what a wonderful daily lift.

Yes absolutely. Thanx.

Thank you Tom, Yes, every single moment we are "being the glory of God."

Such a great reminder and what a powerful lift! To think that God needs us to express/reflect/glorify/magnify/shine for Him...wow..! Yes!! Bless you, Tom, and thanks a lot!

Thank you for reminding us of this Truth.

Thank you, Tom, that statement clearly says that we are so important for God to have created us in His/Her image. So important that MBE decided to remind us every Sunday in church, “what manner of love has the Father bestowed upon us TO BE CALLED THE CHILDREN OF GOD”! Isn’t it a waking up statement? To be created in God’s image, for God’s glory, to glorify God!!

Gracias Tom, esa declaración dice claramente que somos tan importantes para que Dios nos haya creado en Su imagen. Tan importantes que MBE decidió recordárnoslo cada Domingo en la Iglesia, !“cuanto amor nos ha dado el Padre PARA QUE SEAMOS LLAMADOS HIJOS DE DIOS” ! ¿No es esa una declaración para despertarnos? Ser creados a imagen de Dios, para la gloria de Dios, !para glorificar a Dios!

There is such strength in the idea that we are the expression of God's being; that we are the outcome of God's Love. Thanks Tom!

Thank you for that great thought, Tom! Sun rays of God :)

Thank you Tom, God'sglory which we reflect is pure, upright and true

Thank you, Tom, its all we need to know today!

Thanks, Tom I found those ideas very uplifiting! I will do everything for the glory of God today!

Thank you Tom for your distinct and clear voice making your message undestandable.

Thank you for this bright inspiration: like a sunbeam, the spiritual being is always united and not separated of his origin and source of being, the universal Principle from which emanates all good, correct ideas and all qualities to a resplendent day, each day for all.

And I love thinking that the flowers never have to ask the sun to shine on them-it just does-and so it is with God shining His love-He just does.

The perfect "lift" to walk out of my house with and elevate my thought...and my day. Thank you!!!

Thanks, Tom, I couldn't agree, more. God needs each one of us to express Him/Her in the unique way that only we can do. That's awesome when you think about it!

Wow! What a joyous reminder of who I am and my purpose for getting up and going about "God's business" each moment of my day. Thanks Tom for this "wake-up" call that tells me how precious I am and we all are because, we certainly are responsible for expressing and reflecting God wherever we go and whoever we come in contact with today and every day!

And like the rays of the sun, we can't be separated from God or each other. I like to think of the sun light as Truth and the warmth as Love.
Thank you, Tom, I love the picture of you with your warm and sunny smile - like the daily lift that told us to smile. :-)

Thanks Tom for this beautiful reminder. My daughter and I listened to the Daily Lift this morning as we did our prayerful work for my husband who is travelling for work today. I love the concept of doing all for the glory of God, because it puts better into focus how to joyfully participate in our day. This especially includes the tasks which we are anxious or concerned about. God has a purpose for us all today and I know we are all in our right place, expressing God.

Thanks, Tom

"This is the day the Lord hath made, let us rejoice and be glad in it."Today I am anticipating God's glory to be evidenced in me and everyone with whom I come in contact. In fact this is going on now and being manifest around the world in soft yet powerful ways. It includes leaders of the world, business leaders, leaders of charitable organizations, leaders of churches and families, and so forth. Today I expect to see evidence of Almighty God springing forth !
As the hymn says "A glorious day is dawning."

..Thankyou Tom for a great start to the week.

I had been pondering this morning, the demands of running my business and feeling it was all getting too much....customers, suppliers, delegating, finances, office work, etc, etc. ......And then i woke up to the words ' This is Gods business, not yours, this business is the result of God's glory' .....A huge weight was lifted.

Hearing your message this morning most certainly reaffirmed it!
Lots of love to everyone from Whitby, North Yorkshire, England


Wonderful message. Thank you all for this gift!

I love this "grounding" reminder that no matter what I am doing throughout my day, and no matter how far from God I may feel in the busy-ness of my tasks, I am still the expression of God. I can return to the idea that "I am glorifying God in this very moment", and feel connected to God, just like a ray is to the sun. Thank you, Tom!

We can do so much more and do it so much more freely when we do it to the glory of God! It helps us to get self out of the way and then the sky is the limit. Thank you for this reminder, Tom!

We truly are the glory of God, and we are in our right place.

Deepest thanks, Tom, for the wonderful reflection on truths in this week's Lesson. Can't wait to get to the Reading Room. Gratitude also for the joyful intro and alll the other lecturers who have so generously and individually contributed in past weeks.
Nan

Beautiful....soo true and I totally believe what you said!

Tom, This is a message I will remember long after today. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.

Thank you Tom for this beautiful reminder to me today to let my life SHINE. I think of the multitudes of people throughout the world,reading this message this morning then going forth to SHINE, then all those people they meet doing the same as they go about their daily tasks, just like the circles on a pond when we throw in a stone.
As a child in sunday school I learned this hymn..
" Jesus wants me for a sunbeam, to shine for him each day,
In every way try to please him, at home,at school at play."

These enlightening morning-lifts remind us all to 'keep shining'.

Thank you Tom
And thank you llona from Whitby. I can ditto your experience and I'm grateful for Tom mentioning "even for the sweeping of floors" which is what is involved in my business. Do all to the glory of God,, for good, and spread a little happiness as you sweep!
Thanks again. - Lorna in Kent x

God is the sun and I am the shine. I can move through my day effortlessly, happy, doing whatever needs to be done...rejoicing and reflecting God's
purpose and plan for me. This plan is already mapped out by God all I have to do is listen and follow. I am so grateful for knowing this truth. I love being
connected to this wonderful community of "daily lifts". I feel that I have friends all over the world united in God's purpose of true liberty and justice for all. Thank you Tom for this wonderful inspiration.

Thank you, Tom. What a great way to start the week with the Daily Lift you shared with us today.

Thank you Tom! Today is my birthday and what a GLORIOUS birthday lift this is! As a newcomer to Christian Science, great thanks to Mary Baker Eddy and all the people who carry forth the Truths she presented!

I apreciated your firm and loving voice talking about our purpose. It came for me at the right time as I have an interview in an hour and have been seeking more guidance from a higher persepctive about any career movement. THANKS :-)

I DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID ON THE DAILY LIFT---I KNOW IT IS THE TRUTH WHICH I PRACTICE EVERYDAY-----ITS BEAUTIFUL!

Yeah!!! Thank you so much for this uplifting thought Tom :-)

What is your purpose? I love what MBE tells us..to impart Truth, health and happiness!

I like it! Worth listening to more times in the future!
I like the joy in your voice!
Glad to hear from a young lecturer!

A second thought:
Let's see how many times we can catch other people being the glorious rays of God today, "whether they are sweeping a floor or entering a talent show".

Mon frere Tom
je vous aime comme mon âme et grand merci pour cette inspiration de nous pouvonsque dire tout haut gloire, gloire gloire à Dieu pour notre vie et surtout avec le message de MARY BAKER EDDY

Wonderful! All for the GLORY of GOD!!!
I agree with Dave C.....this is one to listen to time-and-again!
Thanks, Tom!

Umhm, yup, you got it, we got it! Horray!

That was excellent, Tom.

What is the meaning of a principle if there is no manifestation of that principle? What is Love if there is no expression of evidence of that love? MBE says in S&H, "Separated from man, who expresses Soul, Spirit would be a nonentity;..." God and man, I think, are not so much different things, but different aspects of the same thing - divine Being.

I'll get busy awaking to my divine purpose this morning!

Thank you Tom for this wonderful thought. It is so helpful to think of all of mankind as being part of God, and that we are all reflecting God's qualities as we each go through our individual days.

Beautiful---Fits right in with the Bible lesson this week!!! The expression
of Soul. Thank you, thank you.

Statements about the "glory of God" have been in the weekly lessons a lot lately and I remember last week questioning what that really meant to me. Wow, in this week's lesson it really pops out at you and I'm so glad you gave such an inspired concept of how we live to the "glory of God." It will be put to good use. Thanks so much, Tom.
.

What a great message for the day. It took me to Mark 2:14, "glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Peace, good will, glory to God -- they all go together!

Tom, always great to hear your loving/healing voice. Great lift and something good to think about throughout the day!

I have been sitting here contemplating your "Daily Lift" for about a half an hour. It has brought back so many memories, such as teaching the Sunday School children, and my own children and grandchildren, about the sun and the rays, and watching my little granddaughter when she was only about a year and half old trying to pick up the spot of sun on the carpet, and an article that I wrote called "The Warmth of Soul". This short, but potent, thought of yours this morning is certainly giving me plenty to do. In fact there is so much to do today to express God's glory in every way I can. Thank you for sharing your unfoldment with each of us all over the world, as the sun shines all over the world. Just think the glory of God is shining on the soldiers at war, and they are protected, guided, and healed by that. Wow I am going on and on, but this "Lift" is going on and on in my thoughts.

Thanks Tom. This message truly is an uplift for me this morning--the knowing that God radiates through us all as we are BEING all that God is! There isen't anything else. Much thanks.

Gloriously purposed unselfed being! Thank you, Tom, BOL, and TMC. Happy day to all!

Thank you so much, Tom, for reminding me that my sole purpose for being is to express God. We have no other reason for existing except to reflect our Divine Mind as its perfect idea! What a wonderful purpose, and what a wonderful reminder!! I am going to endeavor to glorify God more each day!! Thanks again.

Tom, merci, je ne sais comment vous louer pour les dimensions de Dieu.
Dieu seul avec sa suprematie incomparable insondale
Chanssons112
nos chants s'elevent joyeux. de la foi qu'ils montent l'essor. liberés nos coeur glorieux à l'amour cederon alors
Dieu est plein de tout et tout, omnipotent, omniscient, imuable.
Merci Dieu, pour moi , mon épouse et mes enfants je ne sais pas comment vous exalté, ils est bon et merveilleux

This is such a great lift today. I use the analogy of the rays of light all the time - every idea (not just me) is at one with God as the rays of light are one with the sun and expressing Mind as the beams of light express the light of the sun. Only good can be expressed.

I love these daily lifts. Thanks to all the lecturers for taking time to record them!

The LIFT program is a blessed idea! As #48 Alane wrote, I feel I have friends all over the world, united in God's purpose to love oneanother. Thanks so much.

Thank you for this loving, uplifting reminder!

Thanks for the inspiration today.
Nate, I really appreciate the changes in music. It helps keep things fresh.

Well, this is certainly a case of "before they call, I will answer"!!! Had a mini-meltdown Friday evening, listening to snaky thoughts of "what's my purpose, why am I here?" etc, etc. My head knew the answers, but my weary heart drooped. Then today's wonderfully joyful music, and the message with one of my favorite Bible messages, and Anna (#6) quoting the passage that came to me over the weekend . . . what a spiritually uplifting celebration of holy purpose. Sun/rays . . .God/us. So direct and simple and true. Happy shining to you all!!!

Great thought to start my week, especially as I prep my mind for the holidays. All to the glory of God. Good reminder Tom. You rock! Love from Los Angeles, Gladys

Lea, (#73) I'm happy you like the changes in the music! Some of the musicians have been poking me to give credit to them for the recordings. All the music for this program - excluding the first few weeks - was composed especially for this program and was recording in 2 sessions here at the Mother Church by a group of wonderful musicians. Here are the credits. I'm adding this to the FAQ today.

Nathan Frederick: acoustic & electric guitar, electric bass
Jon Hinthorne: piano
Matt Zacharino: electric bass
Tim Smith: drum kit
Alex Cook: acoustic & electric guitar
Jessica Hayes: flute
Susie Jostyn: saxophone
Laura Lapointe: vocals

This does go so well with this week's Bible Lesson "Soul and Body" -- I agree with another Marilyn, #62. And thanks, Dave #55, for the slighly different take of looking for the light in others. It can make today a grander adventure for me.

Oh, to be a steadfast ray.
Thank you!

Excellent. Thanks!

Great to hear from you Tom and great lift!

Thank you for this great "get up and go" knowing that we are guided by this warm foundation - "God's sun"!
This is new to me (Daily Lift), I will look forward to it every morning this goes great with the 'Lesson" today - Thanks Tom!

Thanks for wonderful uplift.Yes, we are glory of GOD. We express GOD in each & every activity we do because we are made in image & likeness of God.As rays of sun are always with sun, we as spiritual ideas of God can never be separated from our Father- Mother God & reflect His qualities Thanks again because these daily uplifts are an inspirational source to me.

Thank you so much everyone, all over the world. It is so wonderful to witness this upliftment spreading like ripples on a pond. We are blessed. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thanks so much for this.

I am living my eternal Glory !

Mom D already said what came to me first thing. But it is soooo freeing to get self out of the way and see God directs us all. From one shining ray to another. Thank you Tom.

I love the way Soul shines AS us, in our true depictt as "man," His (Her!)
man-ifestation! Witness today's shining son: Tom! Thanks for sharing these ideas, Tom. I've taught so many Christian Science Sunday School students using the analogy of the sun and its rays, as God, Soul, and its ideas.

Also, Berta from Colorado, #65 today: I am so glad to be reminded of your article, "The Warmth of Soul." I carried this in my snow ski parka for YEARS, reading it on collllld ski lifts. What a lovely opportunity to say THANK YOU for helping to keep me warm in Soul, on all those ski trips.

What a great religion this is!!!!!

:

Each day I choose a statement from the Bible Lesson to be my first line of defense and gratitude all day long. Today I chose living in the house of the Lord and "the Lord will give grace and glory." Thanks for your parallel "Lift". I know there is no disease in that glory. Humble gratitude, M

I SO appreciate this reminder. When I was a little girl and it was my turn to do dishes and "mop" kitchen floor (all of which I preferred NOT to do as I was listening to the laughter of my friends out side playing and that is where i wanted to be)...my dear Mom would remind me as we do ALL things to the glory of God, with joy, they will be done well, effortlessly and I would be smiling as I walked out the door to join my friends.
I work with this thought often when I feel a little tugging away from what needs to be done.
Do all things to the glory of God....with such joy!

Thanks so much Tom for the reminder.

This is truly wonderful Tom. And I want to thank Nate for his comments as well----he cheers me up each day with his spontaneity and joy!

Thank you Tom. This is just wonderful to consider. Whatever we are doing we can love to do it...for the glory of God!

Thank you Tom! I shall think of this as I sweep the Reading Room floor on this beautiful, sunny day!

Wonderful combination, glorifying God to every drumbeat that ended your daily uplift. My grateful thanks.

Another wonderful uplifting which also brings me closer to God!!!
The acknowledgement of ourselves as being the outcome of God´s glory encourages all of us to recognize our inteligence, abilities, strength, courage, whatever ...
Thank you very much, Tom!!!

To Nate: Your job really express God´s glory!
Thank you, too!

Bravo and Thank You to the musicians. The music is as much a daily lift as the spoken word. God is glorified with this music!

Thank you! And thanks to Dave #55 to also look for God's Glory in oursleves (first) and then everyone.

What a perfect tie in to the lesson we started this week on Soul and Body!
Glory is mentioned countless times. Perfect.

Thanks Tom.... Love the reiminder to be God's and glory in His expression ... I'm an ex Whittier resident ...

Thanks for a beautiful lift today and to all the comments as well...the music is lovely and cheerful..it's wonderful to know we are the glory of in every thing we do

Thank you for a wonderful lift and music to cheer...it's great to think of all as the glory of God in all we do.

Thankyou,

Thankyou very much, fits in with this weeks lesson too.

This idea helps, whether I am doing wash or composing a tune!

Thanks Tom for the inspiration to do everything for the glory of God! And wow, what a match for this weeks lesson on Soul and Body. And thanks too, Nate for the info on the music! You all do a great job and I know it is appreciated by many!

It is so good to know that God, like the sun, is always there . Though we see the sun materially and see God spiritually, both are always there.
(Come rain or come shine!)

Thanks Tom, for being our standard bearer and for keeping your LIGHT SHINING for all to see, and in this case, to hear.

Thank you Tom for your joyous inspirations! I like your idea: "Lets do it all for the glory of God." Whether we are sweeping the floor, helping family, doing business, or servicing customers. From this weeks Bible Lesson, Isaiah 60:1 : Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee."
I John 4:16,18: "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.
Thanks again to all who participate in these inspiring Daily Lifts!

Hey Tom thanks for this lovely lift.. Really we are like the rays of sun (God) and reflect His grace all the time..
Its really very nice to hear this daily lift..
Also thanks to all who commented for this lift.. Love you all..
:-)

Gracias, Tom.

What a lovely thought -- that God has created everyone of us for God's glory. Thank you!

I'm simply "in love" with your thought that God cannot exist without us and we cannot exist without God. We coexist with Him; inseparable from God just like the sun and rays. Our purpose is truly defined in His glory!!! Thanks a million!

soooo cool! yay, thanks!

That's pretty good.

Seul Dieu, notre Père-Mère qui mérite toute gloire du fait qu'il nous a crée à son image et ressemblance pour réfleter son pouvoir et son essence. Merci Tom pour cette belle pensée.

Thank you Tom -

That was so great! And a perfect thought each day. For God's glory, God is Love.

Jimmy

What a great reminder.... of who we are....and of God's ever-presence in our lives........

You are so right! Singing, cleaning, - whatever is only good if we do it for the glory of God. Thanks for reminding me. :-)

In addition to loving the daily lifts: great music!

Hey Tom...Thank you for sharing the Truth about our total connection of expression and reflection through God's glory.

There is light where the ray is!!

www.christianscience.com has become a favorite sunday point for me
