The healing power of the Christ, Truth, as explained in Christian Science, has been very evident throughout my life. One healing in particular is most precious to me because it showed me how important it is to watch one's thinking.
A few years ago I was involved in competitive swimming. It was fun going to swim meets, and I wanted to attend them all, far and near. I was also training to be a Christian Science nurse. Consequently I was away from home quite a lot. That part wasn't so nice because I loved my husband and home, but it seemed that this was the way it had to be if I was going to accomplish everything I had set out to accomplish.
As time went on, every once in a while I had pain in one shoulder. I would pray about it as we are taught in Christian Science, and the pain would go away. Then one day after a swim workout, the pain returned and was so intense if I even tried to move my arm; I just had to sit still, and even that didn't alleviate the pain. Statements of spiritual truth from the Bible and from the writings of Mrs. Eddy came to thought, And I prayed about the situation.
