Feeling the deepest gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, I want to mention a few of my many blessings. I turned to Christian Science for the healing of appendicitis. The doctors had told me that I must be operated on, and, while I was not afraid of the operation, I knew that it would not heal, as my mother was operated on many times and the result was other troubles, I was not only healed of appendicitis, but also of indigestion, from which I had suffered all my life; also of headaches that would last for one to five days at a time. I was able to lay off glasses immediately and have never used them since. I was really healed in the one treatment, but I had one week's treatment because I did not understand God's work.

For all my physical healings I am deeply grateful, as I never was free from pain of some kind until I turned to Christian Science, but I am most grateful for the understanding of God which the study of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy, together with the Bible, has given me. Before becoming a student of Christian Science the Bible was like ancient history to me. I could not understand it, and whenever I read the story of the crucifixion of Jesus I felt sad. Now the Bible is my daily food and companion and I can only see the risen Christ and God glorified. I study the Bible and go to church with a sense of rejoicing instead of one of sadness. I am so thankful to have a religion that teaches us how to work out our own salvation, and that we do not have to take any person's opinion for the deep things of God. I am grateful for the protection and love that Christian Science brings into our lives.
