Testimonies of Healing
When I went to an eye doctor for new glasses, he examined my eyes and told me I had strong evidence of a degenerative eye disease. He recommended medical treatment in hopes of preventing a gradual loss of vision.
One fall after raking leaves and pulling a thick sweater over my head, I realized that there was something in my eye. On examination, I saw the end of a piece of a very thin wire embedded in the dark iris of my eye.
A couple of years ago, on my way home from a Christian Science lecture, the traffic I was in on a busy interstate came to a standstill. As I looked in my rearview mirror, I saw that the truck behind me was not going to stop in time.
While grilling steaks one Friday evening, I inadvertently set off the smoke alarm. When I picked up a tea towel to waft in front of the alarm to stop it, a piece of grit or something flew into my eye.
Recently I heard someone tell of a healing they had while being cared for by a Christian Science nurse, and it made me realize how grateful I am for several healings that I’ve had with the support of these cherished women and men in the Christian Science movement. Like the good Samaritan in Christ Jesus’ story in the Bible, they came to me where I was.
Late in 2019 , I developed a respiratory problem that made breathing difficult. Also, about this time, one of my legs became swollen and uncomfortable to walk on.
Last year I suffered debilitating pain in my back, which had me bent double and made it extremely difficult to walk and to stand when I arose from sitting or sleeping. This condition persisted.
On a beautiful , sunny day about a year ago, a friend and I took our dogs for a long walk. When I returned home and began preparing dinner, I felt an odd movement in one kneecap.
It was nearly ten years ago when I experienced some serious coughing spells. I prayed about it, but the coughing continued.
For several years I had a very visible and ugly growth near one of my eyes. At first it was hardly noticeable and I didn’t take much time to pray about it.
