Last year when I was walking down a road with my friend from school, a teen-age boy riding a ten-speed bicycle hit me at great speed and threw me some distance. My mother and others witnessed this accident and later told me what had happened, as I was only semiconscious for several hours afterward. My mother called for treatment from a Christian Science practitioner. It was obvious that I had bodily injuries, as well as a brain concussion.

My parents prayed for me in Christian Science and kept in touch with the practitioner until I was fully conscious. It took a while before I could remember things, but by the middle of the night of the same day I was completely healed of all the symptoms of the brain concussion.

During this time my parents realized that they had to heal their thought of resentment about the boy who had struck me, even though it looked as if he had run into me deliberately. We felt that my rapid healing resulted from my refusal to resent the boy's action.
