I am very grateful for Christian Science
I am very grateful for Christian Science. Two summers ago I had a healing. I was at the end of our field, holding my horse by her halter, waiting so my mother could bring in her horse. Then I let go of my horse and started running to my mother. This scared my horse, and she started running and knocked me down and ran over me. I got up and went to my mother. She told me to turn my thought to God. Then we went into the house and sat down and talked about how there are no accidents in God's kingdom, and God's idea can't have any pain.
I am made in God's image and likeness, so I can't be hurt by error. Error is nothing. My horse is also God's idea and can only show love.
There was a noise in my head. My mother prayed for me—gave me Christian Science treatment. After my mother finished the treatment I didn't hurt anymore, and the noise in my head stopped. There were no marks on me where my horse had stepped on me. After we prayed and thanked God for caring for me, I knew I couldn't be afraid of my horse. Then we went out and I brought in my horse all by myself, just as I always do. This healing was two years ago when I was eight years old.
