Although I had had a deep trust in God since my youth, I longed for a religion that would fully satisfy me. Many years ago I received a copy of The Herald of Christian Science with the words: "This is something for you. Read it." My husband and I both read it and immediately were interested in Science. We were shown how to study the weekly Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly. Our boy went joyfully and regularly to Sunday School, and we, also with much joy, attended the beautiful church services. Grateful to have found what we had always longed for, we very soon became members of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist.
At that time we were expecting our second child. According to all appearances, I was supposed to lose this child, but I clung to the thought of God's care for both the child and me when troubles threatened to intrude, and I experienced a harmonious delivery. I am also very grateful for Christian Science help at the birth of our third child.
When our youngest child was five years old, a car threw him several meters as he was running across the street after a friend. He was unconscious when I ran and took him in my arms, and my only thought was: "Child of God, safe in Thy love." When my husband saw us, he immediately called a Christian Science practitioner, who prayerfully helped us and gave us a few passages from the Bible and from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy to hold to for the child.
