Testimonies of Healing

Recently, there were more and more warnings in the media about the dangers of being hit by a lightning stroke. This reminds me of an experience I had in my childhood.

Over a year ago I began having a series of times when I would lose consciousness. While there was no pain or memory of the experience once I came to, it was still frightening to think that even for a moment I could be disconnected from my true consciousness, divine Mind—which in truth I couldn’t be.

Some years back, my wife took our son to the doctor for a checkup, which his new school required. After the checkup, the doctor said that although our boy was strong and healthy, the exam revealed that he had an undescended testicle.

Last fall, I ran a half marathon. It was a very windy day—even portable toilets and mile markers were upended by the wind.

I want to express my deep gratitude for a healing that took place many years ago. I was a relatively new student of Christian Science, having been raised in an orthodox religion, and I had not yet experienced a significant healing through the study and practice of Christian Science.

An important By-Law in the Manual of The Mother Church requires that a Christian Scientist “not be made to forget nor to neglect his duty to God, to his Leader, and to mankind” ( p. 42 ).

Nearly 30 years ago, when I was living in California, a small growth appeared on my face. I didn’t take much notice of it until my hairdresser remarked, “Oh, you’re just like me—you’ll eventually get around to doing something about that.

What looked like a catastrophe calms down quickly, and order is restored through reliance on God.

A chronic seasonal condition is healed.

Three years ago, my husband and I decided to sell the condo where we had been living for 13 years. We reserved part of the money to honor other commitments and part to purchase a new property.
