My expression of gratitude for Christian Science is long overdue. When I was a child, my young sister’s quick healing of polio was the beginning of my mother’s serious interest in Christian Science. Following that healing, she enrolled my sisters and me in a Christian Science Sunday School. God has been my only physician for over six decades, and on the rare occasions when physical problems have arisen, they have been opportunities for spiritual growth—to know God better and myself as His spiritual creation.
I am grateful for healings of an eye infection, recurring colds in winter (which I no longer have), and hip pain, which limited mobility, and also for quick healings of grief when loved ones have passed on. I have also experienced God’s protection during extensive business travels around the world, sometimes in areas and situations that were considered unsafe. But I am even more grateful for the joy and life purpose that Christian Science has brought me.
My desire is to share this wonderful truth with others who need the blessing of knowing God’s love to help them on their road of spiritual progress and healing. I shall always be grateful for taking Christian Science class instruction when I was in college. It laid a foundation for a life mission of service to others.
