Testimonies of Healing

A few years ago our family made a major change in life style. My husband had been working for fifteen years in a profession that afforded us a very comfortable income, but one in which he was not happy.

During recent years, through more earnest study of Christian Science, I have found that the Christ leads me in my daily life and is always with me, ever ready to help and to heal. Last year I had a further step of spiritual awakening from material dependency by having class instruction in Christian Science.

As a teen-ager, I was injured in a fall from a galloping horse. No medicine or drugs of any kind were given me.

Ten years ago the pressures of daily living weighed on me so persistently that my vision was affected. Finally I couldn't see clearly enough to carry on in my work.

I found Christian Science after a great deal of searching. A general physical weakness and a constant questioning of life's purpose were the motives behind this search.

Christian Science first came into my life when my mother was healed of intestinal cancer. This healing made such an impact on our family of seven that we all began attending the Church of Christ, Scientist.

One day our two younger sons were out playing when the elder boy was hurt. I went to the child and put my arms around him.

From the age of fourteen years I had suffered each winter with a painful kidney disease and fever. I dreaded this unpleasant situation.

When I left home for college, I was told by my high school coach and a medical doctor that I should not attempt to play college football. They had seen me struggle through a season with a severe back problem and had recommended I give the muscles in my lower back plenty of time to mend.

Before I knew of Christian Science, I suffered from severe migraine headaches, and my hands were covered with warts. I tried many material remedies, but neither condition was healed.
