One of my most cherished healings was of a nervous breakdown that occurred after my second child was born—forty years ago. It seemed to require many weeks of study, perseverance, trust, and adherence to God's guidance, as well as treatment from a dedicated Christian Science practitioner.
In ensuing years I have been the recipient of constant blessings. One healing I recall was of deafness in one ear. I asked myself, "What are you listening to?" I proceeded to listen to the Sunday and Wednesday services very intently, and made every effort to hear what God was telling me about my true being when I read the Lesson-Sermon (found in the Christian Science Quarterly), the Bible, Mrs. Eddy's writings, and the periodicals. Very shortly afterward I suddenly heard perfectly once again. This healing took place approximately fifty years ago and has been permanent.
At a time when most people retire I decided to learn to fly (with my husband), and after considerable study and practice, received my private pilot's license. The return of a stolen wallet was another remarkable proof of God's care. Sometimes I have had to face social situations that gave me a feeling of inadequacy and inferiority, self-criticism and condemnation. At these times I have been grateful to have treatment from a practitioner, who assured me of my perfection as God's child and of my God-given ability to do whatever I have to do and do it well.
