Christian Science came into my life a little over fifty years ago
Christian Science came into my life a little over fifty years ago. To say it has blessed my life is putting it mildly. I have had many healings through this wonderful truth.
Many years ago I became ill with pneumonia. For four nights I could not lie in bed because I felt I could not breathe normally. I sat in a chair all night. A Christian Science practitioner was called to treat me through prayer. I did not get relief right away. My husband, who was not a Christian Scientist, knew I did not want medical help, so, bless his heart, he kept still and did not recommend medical attention.
On the fourth night everyone was asleep and I became so discouraged that I cried aloud, "O God, why is this not healed? There is a mountain of Love and Truth around me!" And almost before the last words were out of my mouth I felt a warmth around me and relief and comfort as though someone had placed a loving hand on me. The next thing I knew it was morning. I had slept all night, the first real sleep I had had in almost a week. The realization came to me that Christ, Truth, had healed me. That day I was fine, and I went to bed gratefully that night and slept naturally.
