With a heart overflowing with gratitude, I submit these proofs of God's love, protection, and guidance.

Christian Science was introduced to our family through a distant relative's healing. This relative had been severely injured in an accident. A dear friend brought her a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and she was healed in a short time of the injuries, including broken bones. Another relative and my grandmother both began the study of Science, and they introduced this teaching to my mother and her two brothers. Therefore I had the privilege of growing up in a home where this precious Science was studied and practiced.

Before my marriage, when I was living by myself in a large city, I received a menacing telephone call very late one night. My first reaction was that of tremendous fear that this stranger might bother me further. I called my parents for prayerful support, then got up and shoved the sofa in front of the door! Suddenly I realized the utter contradiction of saying that I knew omnipotent God was loving and protecting me and at the same time expressing fear. It was so clear that I was safe in God's care right then and did not require a roommate or a husband or a large dog to keep me safe. I was never afraid to be alone again.
