Testimonies of Healing

MANY YEARS AGO I suffered from migraine headaches. This had gone on for some years.

ONE MORNING RECENTLY , I had walked but a short distance from my home when I fell and sustained extensive abrasions and bruising to my face. Two passerby came to help, and kindly took me home at my request.

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I had a toothache. I decided to have my teeth checked over by a dentist.

When the author recognized that she had the opportunity to put into practice what she'd learned about Christian Science, she proved the power of Truth to bring complete healing.

I WAS STUNNED when I learned that a meeting that required a lot of preparation on my part was to be held three days earlier than I had been told. I was torn between anger at the club members for not correcting the date and gratitude that I had at least learned of the mistake the day before the meeting! I already had an appointment scheduled for the afternoon before the meeting and another commitment in the evening.

TWO SPECIFIC INCIDENTS stand out as important milestones in my understanding of God's love for us all. Several years ago, in my occupation as a truck driver, I found myself about 600 miles from home on the evening before an important event that I needed to attend the next morning.

ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AGO a medical diagnosis showed that I had diabetes. I was told that I must go on a strict diet and take medication for the rest of my life.

One evening , my husband I were having dinner at the home of some dear friends. Just before dinner was served, our hostess informed us that there were some toothpicks in the entree she was serving.
