My first testimony appeared in the Sentinel of May 16, 1953. At that time I related my healing of hay fever. This healing has remained permanent, even though the same physical and environmental conditions are still present that I formerly thought caused the ailment.

During the years that have followed I have many proofs of God's loving care. From childhood I had always felt that through prayer any sickness could be healed, but I had never been put to a severe test to prove this. Of course, I was grateful for the years of continued freedom from illness.

But on Christmas Eve in 1975 I was suddenly stricken with such severe pain that I felt for a time I must be passing on. When I voiced this fear to my husband, his strong spiritual support was immediate. Together we prayed, acknowledging that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1). The extreme pain soon ceased, but I was still in great discomfort. We proceeded with plans to entertain friends for Christmas dinner in our home, although I did not actively participate. It was a happy day for them, and I was grateful not to deprive them of their joy.
