When I was young, I didn't get to attend Sunday School as often as I would have liked. I felt a sense of loss, because I didn't have the Sunday School experience that would have taught me the Bible and its spiritual interpretation.
Several years ago I became a Sunday School teacher, and I'm so grateful for the experience I've had in learning everything I felt I'd lost in my youth. I am so pleased to know that no one is truly excluded from Sunday School—that no one is outside of God's loving embrace expressed through the truths that are taught, learned, and shared in Christian Science Sunday Schools throughout the world.
Not long ago on a Sunday I had symptoms of a cold. I mentioned it to my class. One of the pupils then said something that had a healing impact in my thought: "A cold is like magic, because it is just an illusion." Well, that was just what I needed to know. This clear, pure thought from my pupil cut through to what was true—health; also, to what was the illusion—any belief in a power besides God.
