Testimonies of Healing
Growing up in a household with two devoted Christian Scientists, I was grateful for my parents’ example of commitment to Christian Science and demonstration of it, but I hadn’t really made it my own. I regularly attended church and read the weekly Bible Lesson from the Christian Science Quarterly, but because I hadn’t had any significant challenges, I more or less went along and simply hoped that I would know enough to address a big problem if one came along.
One day while enjoying an afternoon ride, my horse slipped off a low footbridge and we both fell into the mucky streambed. Before I could get to my feet, the horse stepped on my lower leg to climb back up onto the bridge.
For many years I suffered from acute respiratory crises. At times, I would call the emergency services for help.
When I was in my twenties, a longtime church member asked when I was going to take Christian Science Primary class instruction. I replied that I hadn’t thought of it.
When I was a teenager, the lady who rented the upstairs of our home introduced my family to Christian Science. She was a delightful person.
In the spring of 2019 my husband passed on. This was rather sudden, and it marked the beginning of a very significant lesson and healing for me over nearly three years.
By the time our son was about a year old, he occasionally exhibited troubling behavior. After falling asleep in his crib at night, he would wildly cry out.
A few years ago, I had a painful condition in the upper part of my mouth. At first, I thought it might be an allergic reaction.
One fine midmorning not too long ago, I sat down on the couch to enjoy some quiet time before lunch. As I was resting there, I watched a bee enter my room through the small gap at the bottom of the door.
Some years ago a growth appeared on my abdomen. I didn’t pay any attention to it until it became inflamed and painful.
