Testimonies of Healing
In Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy writes, “If Spirit or the power of divine Love bear witness to the truth, this is the ultimatum, the scientific way, and the healing is instantaneous” ( p. 411 ).
Over the past year, I have been learning a lot about God being the only cause from the textbook of Christian Science, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I have also been learning that if something doesn’t come from God, then it’s my divine right to completely dismiss it (see, for example, page 390 of Science and Health ).

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.
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.
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.
It was nearly ten years ago when I experienced some serious coughing spells. I prayed about it, but the coughing continued.
