I feel so blessed to have had the wonderful protection, health, and all the love and joy that come with being a Christian Scientist. I married a wonderful man who, although he was not a Christian Scientist, was willing for our three children to attend Christian Science Sunday School.
One of the many healings that stand out occurred when our youngest daughter was about four. She was covered with impetigo. I prayed for about two weeks and also had a practitioner help us through prayer. All this time I tried to hide the condition and keep my husband from seeing it. One day I realized I was treating the condition as though it were real, and dwelling on it constantly. I decided to tell my husband about it, and assure him that I was trying to pray. He said, "Well, why don't you?" The false sense of responsibility left, and I saw our daughter as perfect, free, as God's child. When I put her to bed that night she did not have a mark on her body.
We have had so many healings in our family. When our son was eleven he had warts all over both of his hands. While we were away on a trip for two weeks he prayed for himself and was healed. When I asked him what he had done, he said, "I repeated the Lord's Prayer over and over, until I was healed."
