Testimonies of Healing

It was a dark, cold, and damp winter night as I got into my car. I had just finished a long day’s work, and I felt I was definitely getting a cold.

About a year ago, I was out on an afternoon bicycle ride. While I normally ride at a brisk pace, I was riding faster than usual, pushing myself to get the ride completed in time to fulfill an unexpected evening obligation that had arisen earlier that day.

As the author began studying Christian Science, she saw more of her spiritual identity, and thoughts of fear and sadness completely disappeared.

I grew up in a secular household, but always craved a more spiritual understanding of life and my relationship with God. I’d read many philosophical and metaphysical books that talked about a higher, universal power, but when I found Christian Science, I was excited to have found that missing piece that explained how I am always connected to God and that He governs all aspects of our lives.

The author states, “I learned that those attacking may seem to be enemies doing us harm, but they are actually friends forcing us to go up higher in our understanding of reality.”

A few winters ago, I began to notice some discomfort in my right foot nearly every day as I strapped on heavy-duty boots and made my way through snowy Boston to work. I didn’t think a whole lot about it at first, chalking up the discomfort to my boots, thinking that maybe I had laced them too tightly.

At the beginning of 2013, a painful condition developed—first in one of my hips and then in the other. Remembering that my late mother had had a hip replacement, I became afraid that perhaps I was heading down the same path.

When I was in high school, tennis was a big part of my life. I competed on my school’s varsity team all four years, and during some off-seasons I helped manage the boys’ tennis team.

A few years ago I had a dream in which, while out on a walk, I suddenly twisted my ankle. The pain in the dream was so vivid that it startled me awake.

I would like to give gratitude for a recent quick healing that occurred this January. My wife and I were making dinner, and we were in a bit of a hurry.
