When my husband retired from the Navy, our plan was for him to work a few years before returning to the Midwest. Our apparent need was for a job and a home, but our real need was to gain the spiritual concept of home, employment, and activity. We prayed with this purpose uppermost.

Within days my husband found employment, and shortly thereafter we found a suitable home. More cash was needed than we had at that time, but our faith never faltered. The morning before we were to give our final word on the deal, a check came in the mail that more than covered the amount needed. With joy we moved into the house at Christmastime and remained there for five years. When we decided it was time to move to the Midwest, we listed the house with a real estate company to be sold. The first ones who viewed it wished to buy.

At another time the undeniable healing power of divine Truth was evidenced when I was suddenly faced with frightening physical symptoms. I was on a bus, on my way to an important meeting in California. Much prayer had been devoted for the safety and success of this trip, and I felt secure in the knowledge of God's ever-presence and guidance wherever I was. It was night. Seated by a window, I could watch the lights of the towns as we passed. A light snow had fallen, the scene was beautiful and peaceful. A woman entered the bus, sat beside me, and promptly went to sleep.
