My heart overflows with gratitude...

Virginia Littrell Hooke

My heart overflows with gratitude for all the good that has come into my experience since I took up the earnest study of Christian Science about six years ago. Although I had the blessing of attending a Christian Science Sunday School, it was not until I married and became the mother of three children that I was ready to make the truths of Science my own. My husband was unhappy in his work and seemed to have reached a dead end. Because of his unhappiness, I became unhappy, and this was reflected in our home, where we had three babies to care for.

But I had been taught as a youngster that an answer to every problem is revealed to us when we are willing to turn to God for help. So, not knowing where else to turn, I was led to visit a Christian Science practitioner. She was so helpful in declaring spiritual truths to me that shortly afterward many completely unexpected changes for good came into our experience. My husband was offered a partnership in a business with no large outlay of cash necessary, and we moved to another locality where we found several Christian Science families living nearby, and I began to attend services at the local Church of Christ, Scientist.

I should like to tell of the first physical healing in our family which took place shortly after we had moved. Our youngest child, at that time two years old, became quite ill with a high fever and listlessness. I had heretofore been taking the three youngsters to a physician when necessary, because I was not ready to turn to Christian Science for physical healing. This time I called a practitioner, and the little one was healed.
