I wish to express my deep gratitude...

I wish to express my deep gratitude for all the blessings I have received. Having been taught in Christian Science from early childhood, I have had numerous healings and instances of protection, and I say with the Psalmist (Ps. 103:2), "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits."

With the help of a Christian Science practitioner I was healed of anemia when I understood it is necessary to exchange the physical concept of life for a more spiritual view of God's creation. Again with the consecrated support of a practitioner, bronchitis and sinusitis were healed as I freed my mentality of its mental swaddling clothes. Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health (p. 255), "As mortals drop off their mental swaddling-clothes, thought expands into expression."

One evening, after having vacuumed, I was cleaning a lamp; suddenly I was plunged into darkness and felt something fall on my arm. With great astonishment I realized that the copper lamp, weighing about one hundred and ten pounds, had become unhooked from the ceiling and fallen to the floor. What wonderful protection! I felt no pain whatsoever in my arm. In referring to this incident the electrician remarked that one could have been electrocuted. Humbly, I thanked God for this new proof of His love and protection. In the midst of this I had felt how completely divine Love surrounded me.

My gratitude goes to God for His revelation of Christian Science to Mrs. Eddy, for the practitioners who are always so consecrated, and for all those who are engaged in this great work of truth.
