Some thirteen years ago, I found myself mentally and physically unable to care for the needs of my family as the result of a nervous breakdown. Discord in the home that stemmed from my interest in Christian Science had caused me to give it up. However, with the doctor's verdict that I would have to "dig myself out of the hole I had dug," I once again turned—this time wholeheartedly—to the study of Science.

There were lessons that needed to be learned. I even had to learn to walk again, and often I found the struggle severe. It seemed as though for every two steps I took in a forward direction there followed one step back. But by the end of five years, with much help from a practitioner, I had gained the freedom I sought. This was a wilderness experience, but the lessons I learned in perseverance, patience, and love now outshadow any sense of my having been through such a trial.

Since that time I have had another healing. Quite suddenly I became ill, and I grew worse each day. One morning, when I woke, this statement from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy came to my thought (p. 381): "Think less of the enactments of mortal mind, and you will sooner grasp man's God-given dominion."
