Each day my love and gratitude...

LaVerne F. Smith

Each day my love and gratitude for Christian Science grow. I am increasingly grateful also for our Way-shower, Christ Jesus, and our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, who, through their love and understanding of God, gave to the world this light of Truth which heals and purifies.

I am one who has been healed and purified. It was my privilege to attend a Christian Science Sunday School from the age of ten years. During those precious years I was apparently dull of hearing, but the seed of Truth was sown. At eighteen I quit Sunday school and was married before I was twenty. I was not in contact with Christian Science for several years, and in the meantime I acquired the smoking habit, indulging to the extent that I began to lose weight and became quite ill. A physician was called, and one of the things he stressed was the fact that I should do less smoking. I still did not go back to Christian Science, although it was always in the back of my thought.

A couple of years later, in midwinter, I slipped off an icy step, bruising my side enough to cause a great deal of fear. A member of my family took me to the same physician, who, after examining the bruised spot, said I was apparently all right, but he could not tell whether anything might develop at a later date.
