Testimonies of Healing
During adolescence I had a very irregular menstrual cycle, and because of it, I was taken to various gynecologists by my mother. After several consultations I was told that time and maturity might resolve the problem, but these visits to doctors left me feeling uncertain and humiliated Years later, after I had become a student of Christian Science and during my second year of marriage, all menstrual action ceased.
One summer when I was in college, I was invited by some friends to go on a three-day sailing trip. The night before our departure, we all went down to the boat so we could get an early start the next morning.
In Christian Science we learn that no material condition can prevent any of us from being where we can properly develop. There are no boundaries or restrictions that can bar us from claiming our true heritage as the happy and satisfied children of God.
During the years that our two children were growing up, many physical healings took place that were milestones along the path of our spiritual progress. When our daughter appeared to break her wrist, she missed only a day or so of school.
After a happy and relatively carefree childhood, I looked forward to a career in art. Instead, while I was still in my late teens, severe financial reverses in my family's fortunes resulted in my going to America, where I had to fend for myself.
Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy. (Psalms 107:2) With great joy I send this testimony of a recent healing.
An important lesson was learned in the early years of my study of Christian Science. I was not yet a member of a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, but I did faithfully study the Bible Lessons outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly.
I have always been grateful for the testimonies in the periodicals and have often found that thoughts contained in them have helped me in healing. I hope that the following will encourage someone who now finds himself in a similar employment situation.
I have received many blessings through the study and practice of this wonderful religion, Christian Science. One outstanding healing occurred about four years ago.
My gratitude for Christian Science is overflowing, because if it had not been for this wonderful truth, I would probably not be here today. I became interested in Christian Science while in my mid-teens—not for healing, but mostly out of curiosity.
