Foot ailment healed

Dorothy Burton Hubbard

I enjoy daily walks on the beach with several neighbors. I've always walked barefoot, as I like the feel of the wet sand under my feet. However, after a period of time, an annoying callus developed under the pad of my right foot. When my friends asked about why I was wearing shoes, I told them about the callus. One companion began to relate how someone she knew had experienced a fungus growth, which had developed into a very severe condition.

Her words seemed to go right through me. I became very fearful. Back home, after a rather dispirited walk, the first thing I did was to examine the foot, and I found the condition to appear to be what my friend had described. Now I needed to turn to God and assert my freedom.

In her book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, Mary Baker Eddy says, in depicting an allegorical court case, "The patient feels ill, ruminates, and the trial commences" (p. 430). I felt my own trial had begun.
