Testimonies of Healing

At a time when I had gained some understanding of Christian Science, I spent a year in the area of the North Pole with my husband. He was conducting ice studies and surveying glaciers.

It has been seventeen years since I had a testimony published in one of the Christian Science periodicals. In the intervening years I've been blessed with numerous healings, but there are two that to me have been particularly valuable as evidences of God's power to heal.

Several years ago, as a result of a freeway accident, I was taken unconscious to a small hospital in the suburb of Los Angeles to which I had recently moved. A diagnosis there stated I had an injured knee, facial lacerations, a cerebral concussion, and broken ribs.

I submit my testimony in gratitude for and praise of the one true God I have come to know and love through the study of Christian Science. I was enrolled in a Christian Science Sunday School when I was young.

While vacationing in the West Indies, I had the following scuba diving experience in remote and challenging circumstances. The islands I visited more or less encircle a protected area outside of which is open sea.

With deep gratitude for Christian Science, I wish to tell of a healing our daughter experienced as a teen-ager. During a summer vacation from high school, while employed at a nearby shop, our daughter came home at the end of her workday and suddenly collapsed on the floor.

Never had I been so aware of God's ever-presence until I began publishing a small weekly newspaper. My husband, who had started the paper, passed on, and an employee and her daughter tried to carry on.

Approximately two years ago I was working for a major airline carrier in Los Angeles. I worked as a lead rampman and performed the duties of loading and unloading aircraft cargo.

In 1969, before I had become a Christian Scientist, I injured my foot moving furniture. I lost the nail on the big toe, and the nail that grew in its place was deformed and half the size of the original.

Christian Science has blessed our family far beyond what we could ever record. For five generations it has shown us how to prove God's protection and guidance to be always available.
