Of Good Report

Many years ago , I was a member of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, whose membership had a deep desire to better serve our community and share our love of spiritual healing with others. We agreed to have a series of inspirational meetings on this topic where members could share ideas gleaned from their individual study and prayer.

Christ Jesus demonstrated that putting God first in daily life takes humility and an unselfed love. Before he was taken by the soldiers and tried, and with the crucifixion in his future, he yielded his human desire to God, and humbly prayed, “Thy will be done” ( Matthew 26:42 ).

The first time I read the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, I found it contained an explanation of the Christ that made a great deal of sense to me.

I had a very encouraging experience some years ago that I’d like to share. A substantial bill of several thousand dollars was due in a couple of months, and I had no money in the bank.

This past winter , when snowfall on the East Coast of the United States broke many records, our church members witnessed the proof that God’s law of divine good is ever active.   A major drive runs between the ocean and our church building, providing a convenient route to nearby cities and parking spots for those visiting the beach or attending our church services.

But then I remembered the two hardback books, the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy, that had been given to me as a gift when I started to study Christian Science many years ago.

I would love to tell about the healing my mother had as a child, which is the way our family was introduced to Christian Science and how it heals. A neighbor who knew about my mother’s condition asked if they would consider Christian Science treatment.

Recently, a gentleman in great distress came into our Christian Science Reading Room. He needed prayer, food, and money for the bus.

Our granddaughter Cassidy was to spend the weekend with us. We needed to pick her up from school, but I was nauseous and very uncomfortable.
