My gratitude for Christian Science is overflowing; there have been so many blessings. The spiritual lessons learned in a Christian Science Sunday School gave me a solid foundation and a reservoir of healing truths to call upon in time of need.
While my husband was away serving with the United States Army in the Pacific, I woke abruptly one night with an overwhelming feeling of impending danger. I arose and checked on our two small children in their cribs but found nothing wrong. Returning to bed, I lay still and prayed until I fell asleep.
Several days later, while wheeling the babies in their stroller, I met a neighbor who said that, a few days before, she had seen a man climb the fire escape and start to enter my apartment. But, she said, he must have changed his mind because for "some strange reason" he suddenly came down and left. That was the night I had wakened. The prayer that had calmed me that night had protected us all. Divine Love certainly had been guarding and guiding me.
