Golden pollen was falling on me, swirling in a gentle breeze, glinting as it was kissed by the sun, falling to earth, and covering me as it fell, and it was beautiful. Immediately my thoughts turned to God in grateful prayer. Years before, I had been completely healed of an allergy to ragweed by understanding that man lives in the atmosphere of divine Love, governed by Principle, God. Before this healing, I had spent the hay fever season in bed, gasping for air. I only occasionally had treatment from a Christian Science practitioner, but I did have a Bible, a copy of Science and Health, and the current issue of the Christian Science Quarterly. I studied and prayed daily, and with my increased understanding of God, the belief was finally destroyed, though it did take years for me to yield to Truth.
At one point the practitioner told me the story of a young woman who had gone to the movies. Near the end of the movie, the actress in the movie had taken a broom to the dirt floor of a cabin and had filled the room pictured on the screen with dust. The young woman watching the movie began to sneeze. How ridiculous it was to sneeze over dust pictured on a movie screen! When I heard this, immediately there was a healing for me, for I understood more clearly that the belief of disease was only an erroneous thought.
This healing has been like a beacon in the night. I am so grateful to Mrs. Eddy.
