I am grateful to God for all the blessings my family and I have known through the study and practice of Christian Science.
I am particularly grateful for the solving of a business problem. During a recent two-year period it became increasingly obvious to me, as a piano teacher and working pianist, that I needed a new piano. Because I had just purchased a needed car, my personal finances were almost depleted. A new piano would cost a minimum of about £1,500 [approximately $3,300 at that time]. I had prayed about the situation intermittently and was always mindful that as God's reflection, I couldn't lack anything I needed.
In September of last year I started a new school term, still no nearer to acquiring a new piano than I had been before. The subject of that week's Bible Lesson (outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly) was "Substance." After I had read the lesson, the thought came to me that if an individual wishes to progress in a business venture, he has to continually invest in it. So I decided that I would invest something in my business, by better expressing the spiritual substance of God-derived qualities.
