I am very happy to have been brought up in Christian Science
I am very happy to have been brought up in Christian Science. I have had many wonderful healings.
One summer when I was ten years old, I had a fall, and it was very apparent that I had broken my collarbone. I had a Christian Science practitioner treating me and my family's loving support. In one week I was free of all discomfort and able to use my arm. I thanked God and was very happy. The healing was complete in about three weeks, and I was able to begin school on time.
About a year ago I noticed some growths on two of my toes. I didn't give them much thought at the time. However, since I was attending a junior high school, I had to climb many steps and walk to many classes. My feet were starting to bother me; the growths became painful. So I told my mother about them and asked that she give me some truths to hold to as we are taught in Christian Science. I knew that since I was a reflection of God nothing inharmonious could touch me. We read in the Bible in the ninety-first Psalm, "There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling." And a statement I used from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy was this (p. 527): "Man is God's reflection, needing no cultivation, but ever beautiful and complete." A few weeks later the growths fell away, and I could not tell where they had been. I was completely healed.
