Numerous children's healings

From the February 2001 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My oldest son (then five years old) was healed through Christian Science treatment when he was in the hospital, paralyzed, and running a very high fever. The situation looked hopeless. I had heard that Christian Science heals, so I sought out a practitioner and asked for help. The child was completely healed the next day. I began studying Christian Science, and from then on our lives became more harmonious, healthy, and happy.

Our lives became healthier and happier.

When one of our daughters was in grade school, an ugly fibrous growth developed on her upper lip just under her nose. I knew it could and should be healed through prayer. About the same time I realized this, I noticed that she hadn't been her usual happy self for quite a while. Her brothers and sister were often teasing her and generally giving her a hard time. She was easily offended and cranky much of the time. Taking her aside, I lovingly explained that she could deal with her siblings' actions not by getting mad or reacting, but by loving them—by seeing them and herself as God's loving and happy children. And I assured her that a grouchy disposition didn't belong to her. She made a good effort to be more patient, kind, and loving with her siblings. In a very short time, the growth just dropped off.
