I am very grateful for all the blessings I’ve received from Christian Science class instruction. It was incredibly meaningful, and I still practice what I learned all the time. I’m also grateful for the provision in the Manual of The Mother Church by Mary Baker Eddy for annual meetings of the association of students of each teacher. I’ve had many healings while preparing for association day, and I’d like to share two here.
The first occurred several years ago. I flew into town a day early to have time to prepare, and once I arrived I walked a couple of blocks to get lunch. While there, I read the introduction of Stephen Gottschalk’s Rolling Away the Stone: Mary Baker Eddy’s Challenge to Materialism. Building on the foundation of the metaphysical study and preparatory work I had done before this trip, I was truly inspired to read through the explanation of Mrs. Eddy’s thorough and fundamental challenge to the idea that matter could have any power or reality, despite what we see around us. It was so clear, and it made so much sense.
The whole healing experience felt very natural.
