The encouragement I've received from reading the inspiring accounts of healings in the Christian Science periodicals impels me to add my own.
As I count my blessings, heading the list is the fact that my parents were receptive when an American business acquaintance lovingly introduced them to Christian Science and helped them obtain a copy of the textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy (in German) while they were living in Switzerland. This took place several years before my sister and I were born, so we've always known the joy that actively practicing Christian Science brings.
One of my earliest recollections is hearing my mother sing the hymn "Mother's Evening Prayer," with words by our Leader, Mrs. Eddy (Christian Science Hymnal, No. 207). I also remember with gratitude my Sunday School training, which began in the Christian Science Society in Geneva, Switzerland (of which my parents were charter members), continued in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was completed in another branch church in Washington, District of Columbia.
