Christian Science has brought many blessings...

From the September 1973 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Christian Science has brought many blessings into my life, and I write this testimony with sincere gratitude to God. I was greatly in need of Science when it was presented to me, and it has helped me through many rough stages and problems of my life. Since I took up this study, my health has improved so much that I have had very few physical problems.

I am very grateful for a healing which occurred when I was in England last year and was involved in a traffic accident. We were able almost immediately to get in touch with a Christian Science practitioner, who gave me treatment. To satisfy my sister, I was taken to hospital for X rays, and it was found that I had a fractured bone in my knee. My preference for Christian Science care was respected, and I had no medical aid—not even a cast on my leg. The practitioner continued to give me prayerful treatment and supported and encouraged me by letter each day, as I had no telephone near to speak to her myself. In a short time the healing was complete and I was able to walk normally.

Another demonstration of God's goodness has come to me during the last year. It seemed necessary to change the location of my home, so I began to look around for a suitable place. After a few weeks of frustration and growing doubt of obtaining a place within my means, I became disheartened. Just then I read in one of the Christian Science periodicals an article on the subject of finding one's place. This article brought out that the individual thinks he finds a happy compromise in the belief that God directs him to his right place, but that the place he has in mind is not man's spiritual dwelling place but a place in material life, which God does not know. So the belief is self-deceptive. I do not think I had ever understood so clearly what was meant when I was told, "You are always in your right place." I had previously thought that if one prayed to God to be shown a material place and something turned up that you liked, then God meant this was right for you and it was His direction.
