The first healing I had in Christian Science occurred when I was five years old. I fell off the running board of a pickup truck loaded with green firewood and my legs were run over. I recall feeling unafraid because I knew that I was the perfect child of God, as I had been taught by my parents, who were Christian Scientists. After we returned home, my parents called a Christian Science practitioner to pray for me. The next day I walked normally. There were no further problems with my legs.
Since that time, I have had numerous difficulties solved by turning to Christian Science. The three most outstanding to me were healings of a throat disorder and what I believe may have been heart disease, and demonstration of right companionship. I'd like to share each in some detail.
At one time I had a sore throat. I was praying for myself, but later, when my throat began to close, I called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. After one week the physical situation was unchanged, so I went to see the practitioner. He encouraged me to watch my thinking—in other words, to refuse to accept inharmonious thoughts. He recommended I ponder the meaning of perfect God and perfect man.
