Here is one of the many healings that I have experienced. One morning I got up, fixed breakfast for my husband and me, and sat down to eat.

I was an overweight child , an overweight young adult, and an overweight adult. As an adult I visited with a Christian Science practitioner, who asked me if there was anything she could help me with.
