Testimonies of Healing
In March Of Last Year , I was praying about a vacation I'd planned in Australia. As part of my prayer, I thought deeply about Psalm 139, especially the assurance that "if I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
Some years ago , while showering one morning, I found a tender spot under my arm. A few days later I found a lump there.
A number of times during the past few years, I would start feeling a pain in my side. Sometimes it was minor, and I'd think about what I'd learned about Christian Science healing until the pain left.
The call came shortly after I'd arrived at work. Our youngest son, Brady, had been injured at the school bus stop.
In the 1970s, my husband, two young daughters, and I lived in a 200-year-old log cabin on ten beautiful acres in the foothills of Pickens County, South Carolina. We had a very simple and self-sufficient lifestyle, living off the land and raising our own food, fruits, and vegetables.
Nine years ago I was an atheist, and had been for all of my adult life. Even though I received some religious training as a child, I never acquired a workable concept of God as an ever-present source of life.
My family has had many healings through Christian Science. When my mother was a young married woman, the medical prognosis was that she would never be able to have children.
My first copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy was purchased from a local Reading Room after a consistent desire to own a personal copy of this historic book. At that time, being out of employment, I could not afford to buy the book I cherished so much.
Even though I am a new reader of Science and Health, it has helped me tremendously. I now realize that before I was doing exactly what it says on page five (lines 22-28) in Science and Health.
SCIENCE AND HEALTH was helpful to me the first time I read it. Within a month I was healed of a sprained ankle.
