We have four generations of Christian Scientists in our family and have had numerous healings.
When our eldest son was fifteen months old, he was crawling by the kitchen stove; a pot overturned and hot coffee poured over his unprotected back. The burns were severe. We called a Christian Science practitioner and she began immediate prayer, working steadfastly until there was complete healing. No one in the family has any memory that there was pain or agony. The son is now a man, with perfect, unscarred flesh on his back. He also has a deep love for Christian Science.
Many years later I experienced great physical illness; I had severe problems with my eyes, stiffness in my limbs, shortness of breath, and accelerated pounding of the heart. Although I studied at great length and prayed constantly, I was still extremely fearful. Despite many moments of deep inspiration, I constantly checked my body to see if it was any better.
