Testimonies of Healing

I found Christian Science at a time of great need. I had been raised without any religion, and there was no direction or stability in my life.

I would like to thank God for a healing that occurred just after my husband and I had gotten engaged. On a hot summer day we were on a long drive to visit my family, and about two hours before reaching our destination, the car overheated.

As the fiance mentioned in Heidi's testimony, I wish to verify the events exactly as she has stated them. Although I was new to the practice of Christian Science, I could feel the tangible sense of divine Love with us.

One afternoon when I was in my teens, I lay on a cot with an earache. After a time, I got up and stood by a wood stove that was burning in the room.

Every mother hopes to see her child happy and safe. I am so grateful for an understanding of God as Father and Mother, as I have learned through studying Christian Science.

" Ask yourself: Am I living the life that approaches the supreme good? Am I demonstrating the healing power of Truth and Love?" These words from page 496 of Science and Health came very clearly one day in 1991 when I felt a lump in my breast. Not being a Christian Scientist, my husband felt I should go to a doctor immediately.

This testimony is long overdue. The teachings of Christian Science have been my way of life for many years; I found them as a young adult, and have had their joy all my married life.

In Psalms we read: "Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me" ( 139:7-10 ).

The Sunday before Christmas 1992 it was my turn to do the floral arrangements for our church service. We had a houseful of family and friends on holidays.

Both my husband and I had spent little time with babies or small children, so when we decided to become parents we felt we had entered unfamiliar territory. My doubts and questions began with the pregnancy.
