Never lost

Clowel

The events I am about to share with you happened when I was seven years old. 

It was the night before Christmas. My parents had left for church to prepare the Thanksgiving service we hold every year on December 25 at church. [Editor’s note: Clowel is from Kinshasa,

Democratic Republic of Congo. In different parts of the world, branch Churches of Christ, Scientist, sometimes schedule the special Thanksgiving Day service, provided for in the Church Manual by Mary Baker Eddy, at times other than at the end of November.] I was supposed to spend the night with a Christian Science family—a daughter in the family is my friend.
