Testimonies of Healing
About twenty-eight years ago I had a testimony in the Christian Science Sentinel relating my healing and the healings of others in my family. Now I wish to express my gratitude for the blessings I have experienced since then.
I was a registered medical nurse when I was led to Christian Science and was completely healed of tuberculosis. The most capable doctor in the hospital where I had been working said that I had only about three to six weeks to live unless surgery were performed, in which case I was not assured health, only a more comfortable state until the end.
In the Bible we read ( Ps. 105:1, 2 ): "O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
Our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, tells us on page 167 of Science and Health, "Only through radical reliance on Truth can scientific healing power be realized. " Her statement was brought home to me by the healing of a fractured pelvis, sustained in 1952, when I fell on the grounds of a Veterans Hospital.
A heart filled with love and gratitude impels me to share the healings and the joyous spiritual unfoldment which have resulted from my study of Christian Science. One day after eight weeks of serious illness, I faced the fact that medicine was not helping me, and I refused to take any more of it.
It is with great joy that I express my gratitude for Christian Science. I have known no other means of healing, and many have been the blessings I have received.
Joyously I express my gratitude for the many blessings which Christian Science has brought into my life. It has enriched my experience not only with daily supply, but with love, friendships, and an ever-increasing unfoldment of spiritual understanding.
I have had so many proofs of the healing power of Christian Science and of the loving care of our Father-Mother God that I want to share some of these experiences with those who are searching for the truth. Christian Science came to me when I was a teenager and away from home, traveling with a road show.
With a great desire to share the good which has come to me through Christian Science, I submit this testimony. It was nearly thirty years ago that a friend whose integrity and character I admired very much took me for the first time to a Christian Science testimony meeting.
Christian Science came into my experience when I was a small child, and has always been counted as my most precious possession. The application of its unerring rules brought abundant health, happiness, and freedom in the years when my children were growing up, and during that time we experienced many beautiful healings.
