Many times I have desired to write a grateful acknowledgment of the wonderful ways of Love as revealed to me in Christian Science, but my heart did not overflow. Today I truly am grateful, for my blessings have been more than I could wish or ask or hope, and I am glad.
A little over four years ago Christian Science was brought to my notice to help me out of a condition of nervous exhaustion. I was also suffering from stomach trouble, being able to eat very few things with any comfort. I began to read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and at the same time I took treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. Almost immediately I began to eat anything I cared for without fear of harmful effects. After a few days' treatment I tried leaving off my glasses, and found I was able to read perfectly without them. I never have used them since, though I had worn glasses for nine years previous to my healing, the trouble having been diagnosed as a structural defect. After this healing I was able to work all day long and sometimes into the evening without the aid of glasses, and this was done without any discomfort whatever.
The healing of nervous exhaustion was slow, but I am grateful for this because it made me study the text-book until I found a reason for my healing and gained some understanding of the "restful Mind" (Science and Health, p. 119). I am more thankful for my understanding of the wonders of Spirit and the spiritual regeneration now going on, than for the physical healing I have experienced. I wish to express my gratitude for all our periodicals, and for "The Life of Mary Baker Eddy" by Sibyl Wilbur. The reading of this book gives me fresh courage to be up and doing in our journey from sense to Soul.
