In 1965 I was introduced to Christian Science

In 1965 I was introduced to Christian Science. I loved what I learned of Science so much that after one more visit to an orthodox church, in which I had been a lifelong member, I embraced this new religion. I felt it held answers that no other religion could give me.

I had relationship problems to work out, and the situation seemed so bad, I wondered how I could bear it. Through turning to God, I found the problems were solved. My husband's job improved greatly when I first began to study Christian Science. Later, his pay was on a straight commission basis, and he received only a few dollars a week for a period. We had to borrow continually in order to buy food.

It was at this time that I was in the process of joining The Mother Church. My husband quit his job and began to look for other work. I had a Christian Science practitioner praying for me in this situation, and my husband went frequently to a Christian Science Reading Room to study. When I received my letter of notice of my membership in The Mother Church, I had a deep feeling of gratitude for Christian Science. The religious article in The Christian Science Monitor that day was on the subject of gratitude. On the same day my husband was called for a steady, well-paying job.
