Through the years I have had many healings not only of physical difficulties, but of faults of disposition, lack, and a sense of separation.
When our son was a baby, my husband and I took a cottage at a beach hotel. The day after our arrival, the baby wakened early, crying and very ill. Almost as we watched, an ugly rash broke out over his body. I realized that I must notify the management since there were other children in the hotel; so I did. A doctor was sent to us at once. After making an examination, he said that the baby had scarlet fever and that we would have to be quarantined. He left us after saying that he would return in an hour with a nurse. After he left, I made the baby as comfortable as I could and then took the Bible and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and sat where I could not see him.
I read on page 495 of Science and Health: "When the illusion of sickness or sin tempts you, cling steadfastly to God and His idea. Allow nothing but His likeness to abide in your thought. Let neither fear nor doubt overshadow your clear sense and calm trust, that the recognition of life harmonious—as Life eternally is—can destroy any painful sense of, or belief in, that which Life is not." I felt God's love and His ever-presence and assurance as I went on reading. All fear left me, and I knew that all was well.
