How I Found My Family

KENNETH H. McKELVIE

I was fresh out of college, far away from home, and starting my new career, when one day the phone rang. It was Jake, a good friend, calling with the happy news that he was going to be a father.

Of course I was delighted. But then I thought, "What about me, a bachelor?" How could I share in all the joy a family brings? My family seemed so far away. Most of my friends were getting married and starting new homes. I felt left out.

Feeling sorry for myself, I turned to God for the answer. Christian Science teaches us to turn always to divine Mind, God, when things don't seem to be going quite right. Being tempted with loneliness is certainly a challenge, but it's one Christian Science can help us work out. Listening and praying, expecting an answer, ideas come that take over and lead us to healing.
