Once I was getting out of our car and my brother accidentally shut my fingers in the door. I screamed! My mother took me in her arms and carried me inside. She kept reminding me that an accident could never happen to God's child. My mother called a Christian Science practitioner. I was crying while she was trying to talk to him. My mom explained the problem and he promised to help.
When we were going upstairs for my nap, my mother told me to remember only what was really true about me as the child of God, and she asked me to put my hand behind my back so I wouldn't look at it.
I slept for an hour and a half, and when I woke up my fingers were perfect! I couldn't even figure out which hand had been hurt.
