Testimonies of Healing

The spring before last, while dancing with my ballroom partner, I fell with all my weight on one hip. Immediately, I turned my thought to God, knowing that because I was truly His perfect spiritual likeness, I was all right and was in His loving care.

After a longtime boss retired, whom I had been very comfortable working with, I was not sure where I stood with my new boss. He seemed to think I should be a guinea pig for the sales group, giving me assignments that greatly challenged me.

One of the first things I remember being taught as a young girl growing up in Christian Science was to know the truth of my being as a child of God, and to turn to this truth whenever there was a need for healing.   Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer of Christian Science, writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “Man is harmonious when governed by Soul.

Our son was about ten months old when my husband and I moved into our newly built home. The small porch on the back deck had open railings with a cement slab below.

I am grateful for opportunities I have had to prove that when we listen to God’s guidance and follow it, we experience protection. One example I recall was during an event I attended as a delegate to an international meeting in a foreign country.
