Testimonies of Healing

My husband and I witnessed the powerful effect of prayer during the birth of our daughter. I had made arrangements to have a home delivery with a doctor in attendance.

Man overboard!" The call rang out and triggered actions that every sailor is trained to perform automatically. The day had been all that sailing buffs could ask for.

My gratitude for Christian Science is unbounded. I have studied this Science for forty years, and my study has been accompanied by blessings and joy.

As one looks back over the years, one just cannot help being grateful for the daily direction and protection found through Christian Science. The truth of God in these words from the Bible, "For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways" (Psalms), has been proved to me over and over again.

It's difficult to summarize in a few paragraphs a lifetime of "adventures" as a Christian Scientist and to convey fully my sense of gratitude. Perhaps what first comes to mind is the increased understanding of man's completeness and fulfillment I have gained through Science.

Before being allowed to take an overseas assignment, my husband and I were required by his firm to submit to a complete physical examination at a local hospital. When the results of my blood test were received, the staff called me back for more extensive testing and also wanted to give me a prescription for iron.

In 1974 I was determined to prove that even though I was older than most women when they become pregnant, nothing was going to keep me from continuing my very active life. This included tennis, social events with my husband, and the care of two lively preteen daughters.

When I was a child, a medical examination at school resulted in the prognosis that I would never be healthy enough to participate in sports and that I would have to be very careful about physical activity. I was diagnosed as having asthma.

I feel very blessed in having witnessed my grandmother's healing. I had just completed my first semester of college.

It is again time to express my indebtedness to Christian Science. A healing of grief, previously attested to, was reached alone with God.
