Our 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." I have so many reasons to be grateful that it is hard to pick a few to relate here.
Upon first hearing of Christian Science I asked, "Why haven't I heard about this before?" I eagerly read every Christian Science Sentinel I could get. At that time I was especially interested in the testimonies, because they were the easiest for me to understand and told how others had used their understanding of Christian Science to solve their problems.
"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Prov. 3:5,6). This passage was given to me by a Christian Science practitioner when I asked her to help me overcome a condition which affected my heart. No one knew of this except my husband and the practitioner. I would awaken at night in great fear of passing on.
