After marriage I had three or four miscarriages
After marriage I had three or four miscarriages. When I found myself pregnant again, I asked a Christian Science practitioner to work prayerfully with me to gain a spiritual concept of childbirth, to realize that God alone is truly the creator of man, sustaining His idea. One evening five months later I was entertaining a relative who was not a Scientist. I felt contractions start and continue coming about every ten minutes. I did not mention this. We visited for two more hours. I recalled the intense fear I had felt previous times when premature contractions had begun, but this time I was calm, quiet, and at peace.
When I was alone, I called the practitioner immediately, and her treatment was instantly effective. There was not one more contraction. I carried the baby to full term and had a harmonious delivery. Two more children were born later, and each was carried easily and normally.
At a time when our youngest daughter was about two, she had a high fever. I called a practitioner to help me gain my peace and help our daughter through prayer. Then I carried the child to her bed. I immediately reached out with all my heart to God, her Father-Mother. I was extremely fearful, but I refused to turn from acknowledging the presence of God, divine Love.
