Testimonies of Healing

I can never be grateful enough for Christian Science. I was five years old when my single-parent mother learned about it and took me to Sunday School.

There have been so many blessings and healings that have taken place in my life through the study and understanding of Christian Science as a way of life. This religion has been of great help in my academics at high school, and now at college.

For many years , my husband and I wanted children. We both felt that this should be the natural result of unfoldment in a loving, stable marriage.

Some years ago , while attending a convention with my husband, I noticed I was having difficulty in climbing a few steps to board a bus taking us on a sightseeing tour. I ignored the problem at the time.

As a child it seemed there was always something wrong with me— stomachaches, earaches, sore throats. I missed a lot of school, and when I was there, I could not participate in gym classes because, among other things, it was said I had rheumatic fever.

My life in Christian Science has been full of many healings, starting with the healing of my nearly-severed right arm at the age of six. I had suffered an accident and was taken directly to a doctor's office and from there to a children's hospital.

Late one afternoon I was walking in the neighborhood when my shoe heel caught in the pavement. I tripped and fell quite hard.

Oh, how grateful I am to God! Christian Science illumines the Scriptures. I have seen my Father-Mother's love at work in everyday life with wonderful results.

Two years ago , while visiting friends one evening, I accompanied others to view their deck. As I turned to enter the house, I missed a step, and as I grabbed for the door to steady myself, I heard a crack.

About three years ago I was healed of a physical difficulty that I had struggled with for many years. Some years before, I had been a deputy sheriff in Southern California.
