Testimonies of Healing

ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I woke one morning feeling cold all over—something I'd never experienced before. As prayer in Christian Science has healed me many times, I began to pray with the truth that we are all created by God in His image and likeness.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAD talked for years about remodeling our home, but not much occurred. Last year it was supposed to get done, but I was dreading the experience because I wasn't certain our marriage would hold up under the strain.

I WAS RAISED in Christian Science, and I never minded being thought of as different because I relied on Christian Science instead of material remedies for healing. Life was good, and although I had had many healings in my life of everything from exam worry to injuries from a car accident, I'd never really been faced with something that made me feel out of control, outside the scope of God's love.

WHEN OUR MIDDLE CHILD was born, my husband and I were told by my son's pediatrician that his urinary opening was off-center and would possibly need to be corrected with surgery. Periodically, the pediatrician would mention it (my husband takes our three children for annual physical exams), but he felt that since my son was not in any discomfort or pain, the operation was not absolutely necessary.

I WAS HAVING MY TEETH cleaned while watching the animated movie "Finding Nemo" on an overhead DVD monitor, when the cleaning tool hit something in my mouth that caused me some immediate pain. The hygienist took a break while the dentist checked the X-rays.

A COUPLE OF WINTERS ago, my brother, Mark, and I went out to Colorado to snowboard in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. On the first day there, we joined some friends in trying to do tricks over a little snow jump.

FOR TWENTY YEARS, my husband and I contentedly raised our family of three children on a ten-acre farm. Activity and warmth abounded within our extended home circle, which also included my parents who lived in a nearby town.

A FEW YEARS AGO I was living in Jamaica, teaching children about computers and the environment in the rural mountains. I'd been living there for a year and a half already, but I was still trying to be at peace with the people and culture of my community.

WHEN I WAS In my twenties I fell at work one day and began to feel lower back pain. I went to a doctor, and X-rays indicated that I had a serious congenital spinal disorder that the doctor said was incurable.
