Testimonies of Healing
About a month and a half ago I woke up in the middle of the night with a pounding headache and violent stomachache. It had been years since I’d felt that ill, and I immediately sat up in bed and did what came naturally to me—pray.
One Wednesday evening before church, my husband and I decided to take a bike ride. The next thing I remember I was sitting in our living room, asking where I was and what had happened.
A few years ago, I started to feel ill while away on business. On the flight home I felt extremely tired.
This healing is one that seemed long in coming, but quick in happening. In fact it had much to do with gaining a clearer, more palpable sense of what it means that time itself is not a factor in the reality of being, in spiritual reality.
The day before a recent holiday, I awoke with all the symptoms of a cold. As this was to be a joyous family gathering of four generations, I was particularly discouraged to be so visibly ailing.
One morning, during my visit with a family in Mexico, I offered to help with the laundry. The linens were washed in an old-fashioned machine and then taken up to the roof to dry on clotheslines.
Years ago my husband and I made the decision to have our firstborn child at home, as the law in our state allowed. At that time home births were uncommon, but my husband and I, who are lifelong Christian Scientists, desired to have the birth in the privacy of our home.
The author experienced ongoing spells of nausea when a new chapter was beginning in his life. He didn’t give up on what he knew what true about God and himself, and was healed.
In my first job after college, I had an experience that vividly demonstrated to me the immediacy of Christian Science healing. I was working at a start-up company in Boston, away from home.
Through many years of my study of Christian Science, I have been grateful for numerous healings, ranging from colds to leukemia, as well as various examples of God’s gracious protection from evil. I would like to take this opportunity to express gratitude to God and to Christian Science for a healing in my life that took place over eight years ago.
