BARBARA HEINTZ MINNICK

Christian Science has touched every facet of my life— health, companionship, relationships, dispositional traits, marriage, supply, the raising of three children, and much, much more. I am grateful for teachers I had in the Christian Science Sunday School, who enriched the basic understanding of Christian Science I received from my mother, grandmother, and grandfather. As I became more spiritually alert and disciplined thinking—allowing entrance only to the pure thoughts from God—great spiritual blessings were manifested in my life. Each untoward circumstance, I learned, has a spiritual counter fact. And I found proper answers as I listened and followed God-given direction.

One of the greatest challenges I have had came when my husband of thirty-five years passed on suddenly. I was left to make decisions that I felt unqualified and inexperienced to handle. Yet through daily study of Christian Science and faith in God's direction, each human step was taken. I took courses in finance that greatly helped my situation. And I turned a space in the rear of my property into a garden apartment. A dedicated Christian Scientist who needed a home came to live there, and she helped me with the chores.

During this period of adjustment I continued to serve as a Reader at Christian Science services in our various county institutions and sanatoriums. Then, several months after my husband's passing, I was asked to fill the unexpired term of our Second Reader in my branch church. Serving as Reader greatly stabilized my thinking and promoted my spiritual progress in Christian Science.
