Many years have passed since my first testimony was published, and during this time I have received numerous blessings from the application of Christian Science to various problems.

One healing continues to inspire me and assure me of God's loving care. My husband, son, and I were returning to the United States by plane from London. As I was packing our luggage early on the morning of our departure, this message from Psalm 139 came to my thought (verses 9, 10): "If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me."

When we were about midway over the Atlantic, I became quite ill. I could not conceal my distress, and several passengers nearby expressed concern and offered aid. I decided, however, that what I really needed was to pray quietly. I went to the washroom, where I could be alone. As I turned to God for help, His answer came: I am right here. Not, I was, nor I will be, but I am right here. My acknowledgment and acceptance of His presence brought immediate relief, and I returned to my seat, healed.
