I have always relied on Christian Science for healing, both for myself and for my children. Recently, I had the joy of watching my children, now grown, enjoying each other's company, and with a deep sense of the Father's loving care I remembered some of the precious healings we have experienced.

One afternoon, the thought came strongly to me to pray about contagion. I was startled and paused in what I was doing, thinking, "But no one is sick!" Nevertheless, I knew I should pray about this ... as soon as I had time. Not long after this, my daughter (then a toddler) had an alarming coughing spell and I went to her room. As I picked her up, I realized she was unconscious. I cannot describe the fright I experienced at that moment. I carried her to my room and immediately called a Christian Science practitioner. As she assured me of the truth about my daughter, it appeared to me that my child was passing on. In alarm I told the practitioner, "It's not working." The practitioner calmly told me to let her speak to the child. I put the telephone by my daughter's ear, and in a moment her color was restored and she began to breathe again effortlessly. She cuddled up in my arms, and I took her back to her bed, where she slept peacefully through the remainder of the night.
