Testimonies of Healing
One day while I was working in the kitchen, my children were playing and dancing in an open part of the room. Also in the room there was an iron wood-burning stove that was lighted.
Over a period of many years I have learned much from reading the testimonies in "Fruitage," the last chapter of Science and Health, and also in the Christian Science magazines. Just by reading Science and Health, my husband was healed of a throat condition that had been caused by his having inhaled poisonous gas while serving in the 1st Regiment during World War I.
In the past couple of years, I've been taking part in sports activities more regularly. The opportunity to be active and to share this fun with friends has been great.
I had a healing that I have drawn strength from, and for which I have often silently expressed gratitude to God. One afternoon, not feeling at all well, I requested to leave my work early.
When I was young I attended a Christian Science Sunday School for two years. At that time I had suffered from weeping eczema on the face for a year or more.
I first became acquainted with Christian Science when I read the testimony section in a copy of The Herald of Christian Science ; this part of the magazine was what most attracted my attention. I am grateful for the hope it gave me.
When I was about twelve years old, a friend invited me to attend a Christian Science Sunday School. I have been a student of Christian Science ever since.
We read in Galatians: "Because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ" ( 4:6, 7 ).
I had gone to the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver's license. At one point I was asked to read from a board at a close distance.
One of the nicest things about Christian Science healing is that it indicates the tender, loving presence of God. Healing itself is always appreciated, but to me it is often the feeling of being so beloved of God that stays with me and is often more meaningful than the alleviation of a physical condition.
