"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits" (Ps. 103:2). My heart is filled with unceasing gratitude for Christian Science and for the spiritually scientific laws God revealed to Mrs. Eddy, which she gave to the world in Science and Health.
In 1924, my father passed away, leaving my mother with five small children to care for. She suffered a nervous breakdown, and after being treated by medical doctors for over a year, she was told there was nothing more they could do for her. A friend told her of Christian Science, and she was directed to a practitioner for help. Her complete healing quickly followed. She started attending Christian Science church services and enrolled my sisters, brother, and me in the Christian Science Sunday School.
"Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need" (Science and Health, p. 494). As we applied the truths of Christian Science daily, all our needs were supplied in the most unexpected ways. Even though we did not have the material things other families had, we had spiritual substance and understanding, which made our family a happy, loving, and harmonious one, something I shall always treasure in my heart.
