MARGRETHE SIRKEL

Words are not enough to express my heartfelt gratitude for Christian Science. This verse in Romans (8:28), "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God," has been proved in our family for three generations. It all started when my grandmother became interested in this Science. At the time she had the responsibility of raising her family alone and was in desperate need. Because of her newfound understanding of God as our loving Father-Mother, those needs were met in remarkable ways.

My grandmother had a severe arthritic condition that made moving very painful. Although the difficulty persisted for many months, she studied the Bible, and Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy earnestly to gain a better understanding of God and to realize the truth of such statements as this one (Science and Health, p. 482): "Sickness is part of the error which Truth casts out." One day she felt confident that the disease was no part of her true being, and she rose from her armchair declaring, "If I truly believe that, I must act like it!" She was instantly healed, and the condition never returned.

We have also had many other healings in our family, including those of influenza, measles, and bronchitis. When the firm I had been working for moved too far for me to commute each day, I had to look for other employment, and the prospects were very discouraging. But I knew that my loving Father-Mother God would guide me to the right place.
