Once shortly after Christmas I experienced great discomfort in my abdomen and had several very painful nights. For many years I have had a retail job that has kept me on my feet all day, and after the holiday rush I was tempted to believe I had overdone things, thus bringing on this condition. I became quite fearful.
Turning my thought to the week's Bible Lesson, I found many helpful thoughts, although I didn't find healing at first.
Members of my family who are not Christian Scientists became concerned and urged me to see a doctor. Then I realised how much I needed to care for myself.
