When I was about five years old, I enjoyed looking through a book of Bible stories that had many pictures of Christ Jesus in it. I remember saying to my mother: "Wouldn't it be wonderful if Jesus were still here? Then he could heal all the sick people."
Shortly after this my sister became ill with a mastoid infection, and the doctor said that she would have to have an operation. My grandmother had been healed in Christian Science; so after the doctor left, my father called a Christian Science practitioner. In the morning my mother came into my room with the glad news that my sister would not have to go to the hospital, because she was healed. The following Sunday my parents attended a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and I, as well as the other children, was enrolled in the Sunday School.
Here I learned that God is Love and that He loves me because I am His expression. I learned that Jesus was able to heal because he knew that man always expresses Godlike qualities and that man is never separated from God.
