It is with a heart full of gratitude that I testify to the bountiful blessings that I have received through the study of Christian Science. I am thankful for a religious mother and for the atmosphere of religious teaching in our home during my childhood.
When my husband was courting me he brought me a copy of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, and we read it together. We have been studying this and other works of Mrs. Eddy's for over fifty years since that time. We have raised four children through reliance on Christian Science, and our eight grandchildren are being raised in the same manner. We all have had many wonderful proofs of God's love and protection. Our eldest son was healed of paralysis which had made him totally helpless. The condition began in one of his limbs, and by the next morning it was impossible for him to get out of bed. Soon he could not move any part of his body. However, through our prayerful work he was entirely healed and has never had a return of this trouble.
I contracted a form of skin poisoning, which manifested itself in the form of large sores. I tried to see myself as God's perfect child and to realize that the condition was no part of my real being. Also I held stanchly to the fact that nothing but good could happen to me. I declared the truth day and night for two weeks until I was completely healed. During this time I received loving help from my husband.
