Testimonies of Healing
We had been visiting a Christian Science church for about six months, when my daughter was diagnosed with urinary reflux. During those six months, I was still taking my kids to see a doctor and relying on medical means for their health care.
I found Christian Science at a difficult moment of my life. I was feeling severe pain in my hip, and I was treated at the hospital for this condition for two months.
More than a year ago, I had a painful condition involving my foot. It had been bothering me for a few weeks and hurt so much that I could hardly walk.

Shortly before I was scheduled to fly to a highly anticipated reunion with my dad and sisters, a small, hard lump on the back of my neck, which had been there for about a year, suddenly increased greatly in size and hardness. I must admit that I had paid little attention to the lump up until this point.
One night, several years ago, when I returned home, I could not find the matchbox to light my lamp. So I went to take my bath in the darkness.

It is with much gratitude that I recount this experience. Some time ago I was trying to open an old wardrobe when a small piece of the plywood covering the wardrobe door went into my fingernail.
In her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy makes a powerful statement: “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” ( p. 494 ).
A few years ago, while I was at a dental checkup, my dentist said he was concerned because there were deep pockets in the gums around my teeth. He asked that I come in for a teeth cleaning every three months, rather than a standard cleaning schedule of returning every six months.
