How comforting it is to have a practical religion that is an integral part of daily life. I want to express my gratitude for Christian Science; for the understanding of God, and of man as His idea; and for the confidence, inspired by this religion, that all that is real is good, Godlike.
I had a quick healing recently while on vacation. There had been a lot of last-minute details to attend to before my wife and I set out on this trip, and I had gotten very tense. The day we were leaving I felt that a muscle in the back of my leg was strained. We had planned a lot of sightseeing, and I had unwittingly begun to fear that perhaps I could not keep up with the proposed schedule.
When I woke on the first morning, one leg had swollen considerably. I telephoned a Christian Science practitioner and asked for metaphysical treatment to support my efforts to understand the unreality of this condition. I received loving assurance that we were only dealing with a belief that something had happened in the past to cause the present difficulty. God had guided all the preparation for this trip, and I could experience God given harmony right now.
