Testimonies of Healing

Some years ago a growth appeared on my abdomen. I didn’t pay any attention to it until it became inflamed and painful.

Sitting stiffly on the edge of my couch, I was praying to find relief from intense internal pain. But as the night progressed, the problem worsened.

When I was a teenager, the lady who rented the upstairs of our home introduced my family to Christian Science. She was a delightful person.

In the spring of 2019 my husband passed on. This was rather sudden, and it marked the beginning of a very significant lesson and healing for me over nearly three years.

By the time our son was about a year old, he occasionally exhibited troubling behavior. After falling asleep in his crib at night, he would wildly cry out.

A few years ago, I had a painful condition in the upper part of my mouth. At first, I thought it might be an allergic reaction.

In my early 20s I noticed that my vision had started to deteriorate. It didn’t interfere too much with my regular activities, so I didn’t treat it in Christian Science.

As a child I went to Sunday School, so the teachings of Christian Science were always very familiar to me. As a young adult I considered myself a Christian Scientist, even if I wasn’t very active in practicing it.

When I was in college and came home for Christmas break, one Sunday morning I decided to make some tea. Our family had just moved to a new house and the kitchen was unfamiliar to me.

The isolation of the lockdown imposed upon us during the recent pandemic was a blessing for me. It gave me time alone, away from the unwelcome stress I experienced when going to work, or even to the grocery store.
