Testimonies of Healing

It is with gratitude and love that I testify to the beauty in my life, which has been centred in Christian Science. During the years of World War II, I brought up my three children in the hills of Derbyshire.

How GRATEFUL I am for each copy of the monthly Journal and for the weekly issues of the Christian Science Sentinel. They are always filled with helpful spiritual ideas.

My husband and I met while working in the same business. We fell in love and decided to marry.

Our son passed on almost four years ago from a serious illness after months of medical treatment that included two operations. One night, a short time after his passing, I was alone and thinking about him and what he had gone through.

Many Years Ago , when our children were about 10 and 12, I built a platform for them to jump off while holding on to a rope swing. To test the rope's strength, I climbed the platform, sat on the swing seat, and jumped off.

Some time ago I had a severe fall. I was helped up from the floor, but was unable to walk.

Shortly after the birth of my son, we moved to another state. The second week we were there, the baby woke one night screaming and crying, with a rash over his entire body.

I HAD A HEALING LAST FALL that has meant a lot to me, because I felt so quickly supported and cared for by God. One Friday morning I experienced episodes of painful tightening in my chest and upper body.

At the time I was introduced to Christian Science, I was divorced and had full custody of my two children, aged two and four. I had a high-school education and no business experience, but I loved my children and knew I would find a way to support them.

One morning I felt as though I was coming down with a cold or the flu. I immediately prayed, and declared that I could not be subject to sickness because I was God's perfect child.
