Our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us in the Manual of The Mother Church (Art. XVII, Sect. 2), "Gratitude and love should abide in every heart each day of all the years." Accordingly, my heart is full to overflowing with gratitude and love for the many blessings that have been showered upon me through the years that I have been a student of Christian Science. I want to share some of these blessings, trusting they will be of some help to others.
Christian Science came into my life many years ago when I was a young girl, but as the years passed I wandered from its teachings. Eventually I married a doctor, and while I kept my copies of the Bible and "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy and read them from time to time, the home atmosphere was not conducive to a serious study of Christian Science.
Twice during a ten-year period I was bedridden for more than a year with a serious heart condition. I was advised that I would be an invalid all my life, and at that time the doctors felt sure it would be a short life.
