I am very grateful to God for Christ Jesus our Way-shower and for Mrs. Eddy, who by reason and revelation was led to the discovery of the Science of Christianity, Christian Science. Jesus said (John 14:12), "He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also." The teachings of Christian Science show us that these words apply to our everyday lives.

Our family treasures many wonderful proofs of God's omnipotent goodness. On one occasion our daughter, who was about ten at the time, was staying in another state with some friends before going to summer camp with their daughter. During this time I received a call telling me that our daughter had fallen and twisted her ankle. A couple of days had passed, and the ankle was still badly swollen.

Because the father of the family she was staying with felt uncomfortable with the responsibility of someone else's child, I felt that the loving thing to do was to alleviate his concern by agreeing to have the ankle X-rayed, which was done. We were told that she had a bad strain. A bandage was provided, which she sometimes wore until she discarded it several days later. I had been praying for our daughter since learning of the injury. This prayer was continued, and the pain soon disappeared. Our daughter was able to continue with her planned summer camp activities, including horseback riding and swimming.
