Of Good Report

Years ago, I was driving home alone one evening over the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, through a very thick fog. I had learned and demonstrated, early in my upbringing as a Christian Scientist, that God is the divine Mind and lovingly communicates with and helps all of us, since we are His children.

One summer, I was visiting Boston from Canada for the Annual Meeting of The Mother Church. I had been inspired by how the Church wraps its arms around the world, spreading the message of God’s love.

Have you ever heard of a “Godwink”? My daughter recently used that phrase to describe an experience where she felt God’s tender care for her. It’s a little reminder, as if God is saying, “I love you, My child.

In 2015, I received a letter from The Mother Church inviting me to Boston that June for training sessions for Communications Coordinators around the world. The first thing I did was renew my passport.

For many people, including me, the Bible is a spiritual guide from which to draw strength, a source of inspiration, a message whose power can pull them out of the quagmire. It comforts us in these words: “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Years ago, I was driving my car, when I had a stroke and crashed into a utility truck. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the utility workers called an ambulance and my husband.

Over the years I have had so many examples of God lovingly caring for me. I’ve found that God meets my every need, even when circumstances seem beyond help.

Before I learned about Christian Science, the only time I recall thinking about life being anything other than mortal existence was one day in grade school. My best friend and I were walking to school, and we were talking about the universe.

I live in El Bolsón , in the province of Río Negro, Argentina. One day, while I was traveling along the highway with a friend to another province, one of the tires on my car blew out.

Recently I experienced the longest trip of my life, and it reinforced my understanding of and trust in God. I was traveling with a comrade to another part of the country, to support a mutual friend at a family funeral.
