Grateful for God's protection

Dean G. Wolfe

There was not much shade as my wife and I hiked around an island in the San Francisco Bay along with our trusty trail boots, backpacks, and water bottles. 

Although we were having a wonderful time, it was not lost on my wife that I had a growing aversion to being in direct sunlight on hot days. And that day was no exception. Basically, I was whining about it. We’re from Ontario, Canada, and at that time we were living in much sunnier San Francisco, which had been an adjustment for me. Frankly, I preferred cloudy days.

After going to bed that evening, I woke up with a headache, feeling nauseous, and my skin was hot—burned to a glowing red. I recalled once when I was in my early teens having similar symptoms. At that time, I’d spoken with a Christian Science practitioner over the phone and requested prayerful help. I recall lying down for a most refreshing nap and waking up feeling completely well. This memory reassured me that healing didn’t have to take a long time, but I still felt unwell. So I went into my living room to pray.
