It has been a privilege to have the help of Christian Science from childhood. My mother became interested in Science before her marriage when she heard that Christian Science literature was very elevating. She read the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and became a consecrated student of this Science. Through her love and prayerful support, my school years were joyful and I was quickly healed of physical difficulties.
Marriage to someone who also loves and practices Christian Science, and the harmonious births of three sons, have been the source of much joy. My husband and I relied entirely on God for guidance and healing while we were raising our sons.
Shortly after one of the children was born, he appeared to have a heavy cold with constant coughing. He was thin and his face was very pale. As always, we turned to God in prayer for the baby's well-being, meanwhile taking tender care of him. We prayed earnestly, acknowledging his spiritual perfection as the child of God, forever loved and maintained in God's image.
