One weekend last summer our family peace was jolted and shattered when one member announced she was having an affair with another man, and, without warning, precipitously left husband and children. Even at that moment, there was tangible evidence of divine Love's presence, and this continued to be the case as the following days unfolded. On Monday, the arrival of the Christian Science SentinelThe Christian Science Sentinel is a weekly magazine. on "Peace in your family" was like a great big hug that just enveloped me when I needed it most.
I then moved on to the Lesson-Sermon [in the Christian Science Quarterly] on "Soul," with its strong, clear message on marriage and holiness—and marveled at how beautifully, how individually, how specifically our needs are met. What a wonderful, immediately present, understanding pastor!
This particular situation was healed—the family restored. On countless occasions I have found timely answers to my prayers in the periodicals and in the Lesson. I am in awe of the absolutely perfect timing of the absolutely perfect message to deal with each situation, to meet each of our human needs!
