For years I kept by my bathroom sink a sweet photo of our son Rob's graduation from kindergarten. His innocent smile and the promise of a bright future reminded me over and over again that innocence and promise are from God and can never be lost. This little picture comforted me through some pretty dark hours.
The early years of Rob's life seemed affected by the mistakes and poor choices I had made.
My husband and I were married when Rob was five. I had begun to study Christian Science when my son was almost three. My life up to that time was inconsistent with the moral and ethical values found in the Bible. Through the study and practice of this Science, a transformation took place within a couple of years. I was freed from promiscuous living and from the use of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes. A wonderful stability began to emerge, and the life choices I made became moral and fulfilling.
