Testimonies of Healing
Although I'm a senior citizen, I was surprised to find myself incontinent. I was too embarrassed to tell a Christian Science practitioner and ask for treatment, so this condition went on for a couple of years.
In early 1993 I walked the Milford Treck in New Zealand with thirty others. The second day, above the timberline, just at the mountain pass, a gale struck us.
Our family has had many healings through prayer. Healings of poison ivy, rusty nail punctures, impetigo, burns, blood poisoning symptoms, sore throats, hurt pets, are but a few.
One of the most helpful healings I've had has to do with reconciliation. Two summers ago, I urged my three sisters to meet after an absence of six years so that we could all be together and talk over old times.
My father's family found Christian Science at the turn of the century. My grandmother had had a mental breakdown and could no longer manage the responsibility of the family and the household.
With only two weeks to prepare, my daughter-in-law's sister needed my help in planning and executing her wedding reception. I was happy to do what was needed.
About six years ago, I was going through a period of great adjustment in my life. Because of personal problems, and what I perceived as church problems, I withdrew my membership from church.
A few summers ago my husband and I went on a guide-assisted backpacking trip in Alaska. In preparation for this trip I gave specific thought to preparing myself spiritually, as I wanted to be certain I had a "divine adventure," not just a good time "away from it all.
Upon waking up one morning a few years ago, I felt excruciating pain in both my hands. They were swollen, and I couldn't move them.
About a month ago, while I was riding a thoroughbred horse at a posting trot, the horse tripped and I fell onto the ground. I immediately started praying from the spiritual basis that God, divine Mind, created all and that I could not be separated from divine Mind's protection; that both the horse and I were in divine Mind's protecting care.
