Testimonies of Healing
In thinking of the numerous ways in which God has become nearer and dearer to me, I am filled with gratitude. There have been many physical healings, as well as experiences of protection and the resolution of discordant situations.
Christian Science entered my life in the fall of 1979, and since that time my family and I have been the beneficiaries of many wonderful blessings. The following was my first healing in Christian Science.
One evening I received a call from one of my daughter's friends who told me that my daughter had been in a car accident. I called a Christian Science practitioner in our town and asked her to pray for me and for my daughter.
Sharing with others what Christian Science has meant in my life is a way for me to thank God for all my blessings. My family's introduction to Christian Science came about when I was a young girl through the healing of my mother, who had been sickly all her life.
For over seventy years the teachings of Christian Science have been my help and guide. Since childhood I have had many proofs of God's care.
It is difficult to know where to begin a testimony when your life has been filled with healings in Christian Science. My childhood was blessed by a mother who consistently followed the teachings of this Science.
My father, prior to becoming a Christian Scientist, was employed as a soloist in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. During this time, my mother suffered from a chronic illness as well as from a nervous breakdown.
I first learned of Christian Science when a friend of my mother's came to visit and noticed that I had a large growth on my neck. This friend asked my mother if she would be willing to let me have Christian Science treatment.
I have been a Christian Scientist all my life and have raised four children in Science. Every healing, either my own or that of a member of my family, has been outstanding to me because of the lessons learned and the truth acknowledged.
" The word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart" ( Heb. 4:12 ).
