It is with much gratitude that I share two of my many healings in Christian Science. One day I slipped on a muddy creek bank and hit my spine on a large rock. The ninety-first Psalm, which I had learned in the Christian Science Sunday School, comforted and sustained me. A family member said that a bone might have been dislocated. I turned to Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy and read, "In Science, no breakage nor dislocation can really occur." I also remembered that the Bible says, "In him we live, and move, and have our being." As God's child, I always have my being in Him. The understanding of these spiritual facts healed me.
I was Second Reader in my branch church at that time, and was able to be in my place there that Sunday. I stood throughout the reading of the Lesson-Sermon with no difficulty; the healing was complete.
Later I had another healing that continues to inspire me. In an automobile collision, my chin struck the steering wheel with force; my lip was cut and the lower front teeth were pushed back a full inch. I immediately called a Christian Science practitioner, who calmed and comforted me with assurances of God's ever-presence as our refuge and strength. She said she would continue to pray for me. Soon the bleeding stopped, and I felt free of all pain.
