I should like to share a healing that took place shortly after I began the study of Christian Science. I was working as a machine operator in a company that makes blueprints. The scrap paper that was trimmed off was allowed to pile up on the floor. One day as I was going from one room to another I stumbled over some of this paper and fell face down on the concrete floor. I seemed to be stunned for a moment, but the first thing that came to my mind was that God is my Life. When I was helped to my feet, my nose was bleeding heavily; so I thought it had been broken.

The owner wanted to call a company doctor, but I told him I wished to rely entirely on Christian Science treatment. I called a practitioner, who began to help me, and took a copy of the, Sentinel to a rest room and began to read. When the bleeding did not stop and others began to be fearful, I called the practitioner again; this time she told me to stop holding resentment for having fallen.

I immediately saw that this was just what I was doing. So I cleared my thinking and began to read an article which told of Jesus' healing work. The bleeding stopped, and I went back to work completely free. I was so grateful for this healing proof of God's infinite care.
