ONE OF THE THINGS I love about Christian Science is that I'm constantly learning something new. Life is a "work in progress" as I discover gems of truth in the Bible, which before I hadn't seen.
The Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew (chaps. 5-7), is a wonderful guideline for living, especially as it teaches we should not judge, condemn, or criticize others. It has been a great discipline not to find fault in other people, but it has made me a more loving and happy person. I believe that the following healing was a result of this change in my thinking.
For about 20 years I had used long-distance glasses, but last year I found that the spectacles I was wearing had become useless. Thinking the fault lay with the prescription glasses, I took them back to the optician, who was surprised to find my eyesight had greatly improved. As there is a law in my state (Western Australia) that we take a medical examination to retain a driving license after reaching a certain age, I was again tested and found to have good sight. No spectacles were required for driving. It was wonderful to have the freedom to drive, day or night, with clear vision.
