I am grateful for Christian Science

David Austin with contributions from Sharyn H. Austin, Earl D. Austin

I am grateful for Christian Science. I was driving the garden tractor, and when I came to the garage I didn't know which way to turn. We had a boat in our garage. Dad tried to stop the tractor, but he had a battery acid tester in his hands, and some of the acid splashed in my eyes. We called a practitioner to heal me. I put my Christian Science records on, and I was healed very quickly.

I am David's mother and am happy to confirm his healing. The practitioner told us that nothing could deface the tablet of David's being. Mrs. Eddy states (Science and Health, p. 227), "The illusion of material sense, not divine law, has bound you, entangied your free limbs, crippled your capacities, enfeebled your body, and defaced the tablet of your being." We were not influenced by "the illusion of material sense." David had stopped crying, so I led him to his room and read aloud a section of the Bible Lesson in the Christian Science Quarterly. The subject was "Mind." We gained a better understanding of the power of infinite Mind, God, to heal.
