Christian Science Came into my life when I married. My husband and I attended a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, and often went to the Wednesday evening testimony meetings. And as our children arrived, they attended Sunday School. Although I was reading the Bible Lessons (found in the Christian Science Quarterly) and Science and Health by Mary Baker Eddy, I did not understand much of what I was reading. But I could see the good of this religion, and hoped that one day I could truly understand and use what Mrs. Eddy had given to us.
One healing of my son comes to mind. He dislocated his shoulder during football practice and was taken to the hospital. As he was lying on the table after the examination, the doctors were in the hallway discussing what they would do. My son told me later that when he overheard the word surgery, he thought, "Ok, God, it's just You and me." He felt very calm as he continued praying as he had been taught in Sunday School. Within seconds his shoulder had moved back into place. The doctors confirmed that everything was in its proper place. When I arrived, I found him waiting to be picked up—he needed no medical treatment. This was a very joyous time for us.
After our children were in college, we sold our house and moved to an apartment. But after several years, we longed to have our own home once more. As we began the search, I was praying to learn more about the spirituality of home. We were directed to a house that had already been taken off the market. It was just what we were looking for, and more, and we spent many happy years living there.
