Working on our family farm with my husband has shown me the truth of this Bible verse: “Ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind” (Job 12:7–10).
On our farm, I have often seen animals healed through Christian Science. I have also witnessed the saving of wild animals.
One day last fall, after spending most of my morning studying the Bible and pondering God’s preservation of all creation, I headed to our Christian Science Reading Room for my weekly shift. As I rounded the large lake on the edge of our city, I could see a white-tailed deer floundering in the icy water. He had fallen through thin ice and a crowd was beginning to gather at the nearby park area. A fire truck had already arrived by the time I pulled into the park and began to pray. I suppose others were praying, too. This buck looked exhausted as two yellow-clad firemen began walking out to it.
