As the parents of two young children, my wife...

As the parents of two young children, my wife and I are extremely grateful for the protection and guidance afforded by our study of Christian Science. Since the birth of our children, we have found special reassurance in being able to turn to God in prayer for healing. And it is wonderful to be able to impart this trust in God to our children. The following healing experience involving the children has been a source of inspiration to us and a tangible demonstration of the sureness of God's care.

Both our daughter and son attend a preschool day-care program during the week while we are at work. Our family is the only one in the program that relies on Christian Science rather than on medical treatment for healing. The program staff and administration have been supportive of our decision and cooperative with our wishes.

Over a year ago the outbreak of a contagious infection was detected at the school. Public health authorities required that all the children be tested for the presence of the infection. Because of the contagious nature of the disease, the authorities required the testing of all relatives of the exposed children and the removal from school of any child who showed symptoms of infection.
