I'm grateful for Christian Science because I know it's dynamic— it really heals.

In the midst of one especially active day at work I felt ill and decided to go home. While walking down the street I found it difficult to continue, so I stopped and leaned against a building for support. Then this sentence from Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy came forcefully to mind (p. 14): "Become conscious for a single moment that Life and intelligence are purely spiritual,—neither in nor of matter,—and the body will then utter no complaints. If suffering from a belief in sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well." Our Leader's succinct statement brought a flood of spiritual inspiration. Quite naturally I recognized my real nature as the perfect, whole child of God—harmonious being, true not only for "a single moment" but for eternity. All the bodily complaints were silenced, and I went on my way rejoicing because I'd been instantaneously healed.

At another time my husband entered into a contract with a reputable company. We both felt this had been done in good faith. However, after a lapse of years, when it came time for them to honor the agreement, the firm claimed that we had misinterpreted the contract and that consequently they were not liable. This came as a shock to us, as there was a sizable amount of money due my husband. He and I discussed it up and down many times, and we both concluded that we could not bring a suit against the company, as this was contrary to our way of thinking and living.
