I am so humbly grateful to God...

Mary-Louise Collins

I am so humbly grateful to God for Christian Science that I cannot put off expressing my gratitude any longer. I came into Christian Science when our oldest son was four. One morning he awoke quite well, but by noon he had an alarming fever, and could not stand up or move his head without pain. I was filled with fear as I rushed him to the hospital.

The doctors gave him no medication, however, because they could not determine just what was wrong or what to do. When the child had been there for two days, I knew something had to be done for him, since he appeared to be passing on. Then I remembered that I had heard of Christian Science practitioners, who help others through prayer, and I told my husband that I must find one.

We located a practitioner in the next town, and I went to visit her. How wonderful it was to hear her loving, comforting words, telling me of God's love for His children. She said that God is our Life and that He is always caring for each one of us. She helped me to realize that it was my fear which must be dispelled. And when I left, I knew that God was taking care of our little boy. My fear was gone, and I felt as though a heavy burden had been lifted from me.
