Mary Baker Eddy writes (Miscellaneous Writings, pp. 82-83): "Immortal Mind is God, immortal good; in whom the Scripture saith 'we live, and move, and have our being.' This Mind, then, is not subject to growth, change, or diminution, but is the divine intelligence, or Principle, of all real being; holding man forever in the rhythmic round of unfolding bliss, as a living witness to and perpetual idea of inexhaustible good."
When we, in retrospect, become aware of how long and how often our lives have been blessed by this immortal good, then it is certainly time to bear grateful testimony of it here.
About thirty-five years ago I was living in an area where there was always a foehn (southerly wind). Since this gave me severe headaches, I suffered almost continually. I never took any anodynes for the condition, but I had accepted this illness as my fate. Then one day the pain became unbearable. At this point, thanks be to God, I received my first help in Christian Science, and I was healed through the prayer of a Christian Science practitioner whom I had asked to treat me.
