Two years ago I got stung by some bees in a pumpkin patch
Two years ago I got stung by some bees in a pumpkin patch. They were inside my shirt. I went to the car with my mom. She got them out of my shirt. She told me that if I could stop crying even though the stings hurt, then I would be able to hear God's thoughts. We talked about how God's creatures don't hurt one another.
Mom and Dad prayed for me in the car while we drove to a restaurant for lunch. I stopped crying and listened to God. I knew He was taking care of me and I was all right. By the time we got to the restaurant, the pain had stopped and I was happy. When I went to bed that night, we didn't see any sting marks. My whole family was grateful because we'd seen God's care. Especially me.

I'm Alex's mother. The healing is correct as related by Alex. I feel his willingness to stop crying and listen quietly for God's guidance was the reason there was no reaction to the multiple stings. I saw the stinger marks when I removed the bees from his shirt, but the marks were gone by evening. We were all grateful for such a complete healing.
Alex has not been stung in more than two years since this healing took place. Also, his fear of bees dropped completely away with this healing. Christian Science is truly the Comforter; it allows us to care for our little ones immediately, and parent and child alike are able to witness the healing and protecting power of the one Father-Mother, God.
