I am very grateful to God
I am very grateful to God. I have had many wonderful healings since my husband interested me in Christian Science. Smoking, heavy drinking, a lump on my neck, severe abdominal pains, injured legs, a rash on the palms of my hands, constipation, and food poisoning are just a few of the difficulties healed since I began to study Christian Science.
One healing really stands out to me. My daughter and I were going to heat up a frozen pizza one evening. I put the pizza on a large cast-iron skillet. When I served the first piece, I used an oven mitt to remove the skillet. But when we were ready for the second piece, we were so busy talking I didn't think about what I was doing. I reached in the oven and put my hand around the handle and pulled the skillet out.
I put the pan on the stove somewhat in a state of shock. Tears were rolling down my cheeks. There was pain in my arm. I prayed to God, and my daughter also started to pray. I prayed with the spiritual truths in "the scientific statement of being" found in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and also with the Lord's Prayer.
