Testimonies of Healing
A few years ago, when our first three children were still small, I learned I was expecting twins. This was the beginning of a wonderful time of spiritual growth and healing.
I am deeply grateful to God for a healing I experienced quite recently. The physical relief was secondary to learning that when we're faced with a situation that suggests it has us backed into a corner, we can prove by means of our God-given humility and trust in Him that there are no "corners" in divine Love's infinite circle of good.
I became a devoted student of Christian Science after my marriage to a Christian Scientist, and my life has been greatly enriched and blessed as a result. In one instance, our son leapt into the air to catch a fly ball during a baseball game and crashed headlong into a wooden fence.
Four of us—all Christian Scientists—went for a mountain walking holiday. I am sure that all of us had been praying, as I was, for its overall success, and knew that we were in God's care.
About two years ago I registered for a symposium on spirituality and health care, an event intended for health-care administrators, hospital chaplains, social workers, and others in the health-care community, but open to anyone interested in the issues. I wanted to be better informed, to see how these issues were now perceived and pursued in our culture, and to think about them in the light of my own study of Christian Science.
I first learned of Christian Science about fifteen years ago. There were, however, many wrestlings in my own thought before I began to embrace this teaching for myself.
Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe" ( John 4:48 ). This is what Christ Jesus told the nobleman who asked him to come and heal his son.
I would not be alive today without the blessings of Christian Science. The evidence at the time of my birth indicated that I was stillborn.
About a year ago, I had a healing of a long-standing internal difficulty. This trouble had been going on for a number of years.
My husband was not a Christian Scientist when we married, though I was. I wanted our children to attend the Christian Science Sunday School, where they would learn the richness of the Bible and of man's spiritual relation to God.
