Since 1959, when I suffered from severe heart trouble and the doctors sent me home to die, I have relied on God in Christian Science. God healed me of the heart trouble, and I learned that His love had always been with me.

When I became a widow and was living alone, I felt a great sense of loss. So I turned to God, yearning for a more spiritual understanding of both God and His idea, man. Passages I pondered from the Bible, and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy gave me the strength to carry on. Yet I still had much to overcome, and help from a loving Christian Science practitioner was requested and given. Gradually I gained my peace.

A daughter, who was also alone and had two children to support, needed work. She found it in another state. At that time it seemed wise for us to pool our resources, sell my house, and buy one together located near her work. There was a lot of controversy about this move; people gave us advice and warned us about difficulties we would have. Again I asked for prayerful assistance from the practitioner and listened for God's direction. Although my daughter and I were faced with many adverse reports on the housing market, I clung to the truth that if we listened, God would guide us. My house was sold quickly, and we were able to buy the other house in three weeks. God was with us all the way.
