Testimonies of Healing
In May Of 1956 I was a junior executive on my way to meet with a valued customer for a round of golf. Suddenly, I became violently ill, so I went home, where I asked my wife to call the customer to explain the emergency.
I want to share my gratitude for the beautiful healing of our daughter. When she became ill, one of the first things I had to eradicate was the fear of responsibility, as my Mum and Dad (to whom I often turn for help in prayer) were going to be away.
I had slumped into a deep depression, overwhelmed by circumstances that I felt powerless to do anything about. Fear was a constant companion.
The first part of this experience started with me at the top of a twenty-foot extension ladder and ended with me flat on my back on the frozen ground. I was not able to move because of the severe pain, but over the next hour and a half my wife and a friend were able eventually to get me into bed.
I love Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. It feeds me; it encourages me; it helps me understand the Bible better.
It is with great humility, gratitude, and love for Christian Science that I write this joyful testimony in the hope that it might touch a heart, as others' testimonies have touched mine. Brought up in Christian Science from childhood, as I had been, I had seen wonderful healings in my family.
I HAVE BEEN AN ACTIVE Christian Scientist for many years and have had many healings of things like colds, flu, effects of accidents, shyness. I've also had relationships renewed and financial problems solved.
My grandmother had a serious heart condition when she was a young widow. Her sister had been healed of a similar condition by turning to Christian Science.
Some years ago, I was diagnosed with several medically incurable illnesses, including multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia, a painful muscle disease. Several excellent doctors were trying to help me, and I had tried homeopathic remedies on my own, but there was no cure.
I am grateful to understand, in at least some small way, the unchangeable nature of my spirituality. I experienced an indescribable light.
