My husband and I have found Christian Science to be a bedrock in our lives. Its teachings provide a sure foundation for fulfilling and joyous living.
I was raised in Christian Science but only took up the serious study of it after reaching adulthood. My husband was acquainted with Christian Scientists as a child and began to investigate its teachings when we were engaged to be married. Since then we have relied on God to meet every need, whether it was a financial difficulty, a relationship problem, an employment situation, or some physical incapacity. We have found our Father-Mother God's all-powerful love able to uphold and sustain us in every circumstance.
I would like to share two healings that have been milestones to us. Eight years before I met my husband, Rich, he had a business that involved operating a tractor. One day, while he was driving the tractor, it slid down a steep embankment and came to a jolting halt. My husband sustained an injury to his back. The doctors called it deceleration trauma to the spinal column. Surgery was of questionable help and could possibly be detrimental; therefore it was not recommended. It was suggested that he rely on painkillers to ease the pain.
