I give heartfelt gratitude for the many benefits and blessings that have been mine as a lifelong student of Christian Science.

I am certain that I have been protected and brought through unknown dangers. A wonderful example of this occurred when I served as a counselor in a summer camp. Each night for a week, as I walked back to my cabin of girls, I had to vigorously deny the fear of poisonous snakes. Though this area was not known to have these snakes, I prayed until I felt totally secure in God's keeping. At the end of the week, a large poisonous snake was discovered not more than one hundred feet from our door. My gratitude for our protection was great!

As a young teen-ager, I found healing could be brought to dental problems. I had always had good teeth, but on one occasion I was seized by great fear as I sat in a dentist's outer office. I turned to God in deep prayer. I don't recall the specifics of this prayer, but when I entered the dentist's chair, he was unable to find the cavities he had intended to fill. Through the years my knowledge in Christian Science of man's spiritual substance as God's idea, which is without decay, has been a great protection to me.
