Testimonies of Healing

I could write a book about all the blessings received from studying Christian Science, but here are just a few. In 1929 a friend introduced my mother to Christian Science.

Last December I completed a three-year term as First Reader in my church. It was a wonderful tour of duty: it uplifted my spiritual consciousness more than I could have imagined, and therefore blessed me more than I could have imagined.

One day I hurriedly jaywalked across a busy six-lane city street, because there were no cars coming. Suddenly a car on the far side of the street made a U-turn and struck me.

In 1986 I completed graduate studies in a teachers' training college. I did not know where to begin to find a good job.

When my husband of many years passed on several years ago, I had to regain my poise and find new direction. The requirement kept appearing for me "to know what to do with the rest of my life.

A healing I had changed the way I approach my practice of Christian Science. As a child I had received the protection that the prayers of my parents and Sunday School teachers brought.

Ever since I was a child I sensed that God must exist, but I could not find much more evidence than basic intuition. I had read the Bible and could not understand it very well, although the New Testament and its message about love touched me.

When my daughter was about four years old, she caught one of her fingers in a small folding chair, severing it at the top joint. In a state of fear and shock, I immediately got in touch with a Christian Science practitioner, who allayed my fears with spiritual assurances full of love.

I'm the substitute soloist for my Christian Science branch church. One Sunday I was practicing my solo, when two people arrived very early for church.

One night when my son was about sixteen months old, he became hot and congested. Usually I would pray for the child first before calling for help from a practitioner.
