Testimonies of Healing

It has been over forty-five years since I last had a testimony in the Christian Science periodicals. It told of how my husband and I were cared for through the Depression.

It has been many years since my first testimony was published. I feel impelled once again to express my gratitude for the guidance and blessings I've received through the study of Christian Science.

My family was at a camp for Christian Scientists a few summers ago. One day during a game of volleyball I ran after the ball to keep it from going into the water.

Giving gratitude to God for His tender care is very much a part of each day for me. However, putting this thank-you into writing has been postponed far too long! As a lifelong Christian Scientist, I feel that the purity, dedication, and courage expressed by my mother in her accepting and later taking a stand for Science were the greatest blessings in my life.

"Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law" ( Ps. 119:18 ).

"Let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy" ( Ps. 5:11 ).

The summer following my third year of college, I auditioned for and was hired by a professional stock theater. I prepared prayerfully for this job by studying the definition of God found in the Glossary of Science and Health by Mrs.

"Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding" ( Prov. 3:5 ).

Many wonderful healings have occurred in my life since I began my study of Christian Science. I particularly want to share one that has been very special to me.

An issue of the Christian Science Sentinel during 1976 reported some of the healings and demonstrations of the effectiveness of Christian Science in my experience. One which I did not mention was the healing of headaches.
