Testimonies of Healing

I am deeply grateful that my great-grandmother, around a hundred years ago, was introduced to Christian Science, recognized its practicality in everyday life, and took it for her own. Six generations of my family have benefited, and are benefiting, from that decision.

Just over a year ago I seemed so seriously ill, incapacitated, and in pain, that I kept telling my wife "goodbye. " She would lovingly smile, encourage me with strong statements of God's healing care for me as His expression, and remind me there was no place to go; I could only express Life! Hourly I prayed to obey Mrs.

It was a Friday afternoon at the end of the term, and final exams were to take place the next week, when I appeared to come down with the flu. I was not only uncomfortable as a result of the condition, but I also felt unable to start studying for my exams, which I was quite concerned about doing well on.

Through the study of Christian Science, I have come to know God not only as a healing presence in my life, but also as a saving and protecting power. Many times a thought or an idea has come to me just at a time or in a situation when it would keep me from harm.

One healing that really stands out to me started as quite a challenge. I detected several lumps in my breast and was experiencing a lot of discomfort.

My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the wonderful concept of home and heaven that my study of Christian Science has brought me. Not long ago I decided to leave the Midwest and relocate to New England, where I had been brought up.

I have had many physical healings, including immediate reversal of cold and flu symptoms, when I recognized I had let the belief of contagion become frightening to me. The truth is that as children of God, none of us can be infected by others or pass anything on to one another except love.

During the summer I was walking barefoot in my home one hot afternoon when I whacked my right foot hard against the two-inch-high stone hearth of our fireplace. The pain was excruciating.

Christian Science has blessed my life since childhood. This healing truth was introduced to my family by an uncle who had been healed of the smoking and drinking habits.

I Love To See how our study and prayer bring us closer to God, to understand His all-power and error's no-power. One winter we joined another family for an afternoon of tobogganing.
