Testimonies of Healing
I was brought up in Christian Science, but my mother did most of the prayerful work for me in times of trouble. When I went away from home to teach, I hadn't yet learned the importance of praying for myself.
As I lay on my bed, tossing and turning with pain, trying to get comfortable, two friends were by my bedside, looking on as though there was not much they could do. But what they were doing was effective! They are both Christian Scientists, and they were each praying silently to see me as God sees me.
Our daughter and her husband very kindly allowed our two grandchildren, Christy and Kirk, to visit us for a week last spring. We were having a happy time and planned to go swimming at an indoor pool that day.

My father's cousin was one of the first Christian Science practitioners in Melbourne. I have known of Christian Science for most of my life, having heard it mentioned and discussed at various times in our family.
I am so grateful to have been raised a Christian Scientist, and even more grateful that I have Christian Science to rely upon in raising our two children. It is indispensable to me, and I would like to relate the following healings as proof of God's love and care for His children.
