Testimonies of Healing

My husband and I met as members of a Christian Science college organization, and we have had a long, wonderful experience of learning about Christian Science and seeing the blessings of trust and faith in God. At one time we were threatened with what would have been a large financial loss.

I will never forget the wonderful feeling of stability that came into my life when my mother made the decision to return to a branch Church of Christ, Scientist. The church members welcomed my brother and sister and me with open arms, and we felt their love.

For years I suffered with deep depression. The mental anguish seemed unbearable at times.

Shortly after the turn of the century, my mother and her parents were introduced to Christian Science. They joyfully embraced this teaching.

My wife has been a dedicated Christian Scientist for many years. Our three children attended a Christian Science Sunday School and have become members of The Mother Church.

Of all my healings, I especially love those that occurred as I came to understand some very basic truths of Christian Science for the first time. While in the ninth grade I had been home from school several days with a severe cold.

Sometimes deep spiritual lessons are learned when events seem most discouraging. When we were expecting our first child I wanted to have a home birth.

Before the turn of the century, Christian Science healed my great-grandfather of a longstanding breathing difficulty that medical treatment had failed to relieve. This healing brought Christian Science to our family a hundred years ago and as a result has blessed many lives with a deeper understanding of God and His precious care for His beloved children.

Recently I was reminded of an experience I had over thirty years ago, during my first year as a student of Christian Science. My husband had been invited to South America to take part in an international athletic contest.

When my husband passed on, my world was suddenly shattered, and the resulting emptiness and anguish seemed more than I could bear. I desperately needed to know how my religion, Christian Science, could help me.
