Testimonies of Healing

" The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Psalms). After an accident in my home, I was bothered for some time by an injured foot.

My grandparents and parents were adherents of Christian Science. Consequently, I grew up in a home where Science was studied and practiced.

In 1948 I married an avid sportsman whose dream was someday to have a son to fish and hunt with him. Five years later a son was born to us, but within a day or two he was unable to retain his milk.

As long as I can remember, I have loved God and have felt His love for me. The numerous healings I have experienced through Christian Science since childhood have served as both a "rod" and a "staff" for me, providing me with discipline and care.

My gratitude for the saving grace of God, which I have found as a student of Christian Science, impels me to share a significant healing I witnessed early in my study of Science. Our young daughter and son used to enjoy running down a hill behind our house and leaping onto a huge flat-topped boulder at the bottom of the hill.

" Finally , a chance to actually meet one. " That was my first thought when finding out a co-worker had been raised in Christian Science.

I have always felt deep love for God and the Bible, fostered by early and regular attendance in Christian Science Sunday Schools. I have been a member of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, since 1982 and of The Mother Church since 1983.

I have been relying on Christian Science for a number of years now and have had many different types of physical healings. Colds, flu, sore throats, laryngitis, physical injuries, have all yielded to the study and application of God's law as understood in Christian Science.

At one point in my life I had just divorced, ending a financially secure but very troubled marriage. I was also left with two young children to support on my own.

I share this experience with the desire that it may encourage others challenged with a physical difficulty over a long period. This healing has provided me with the greatest lesson to date as to what the term spiritually scientific really means.
