I am so very grateful to be a student of Christian Science and to be learning more about my relationship to God and my substance as truly spiritual. I have been healed of many physical and moral ills, which include poor vision, bulimia, abscessed teeth, chronic migraine headaches, broken bones, alcoholism, menstrual pain, sprained joints, grief, and many more. I'd like to share two recent experiences.
One afternoon my husband and I were moving a large metal filing cabinet up our stairway to a room on the second floor. It was a heavy cabinet, and the space was tight. As we inched our way up a step at a time, finally reaching the last stair, my footing slipped and the cabinet came crashing down on my hand.
I remembered something that I had learned as a child in a Christian Science Sunday School—that God never takes us part of the way. I acknowledged this, and we continued to move the cabinet into place. About that time I looked at my hand and was surprised to see a broken bone protruding. Immediately I turned to my husband, and said, "Honey, I need help." As partners we had often prayed for each other.
