I Wish to share a healing that brought beauty, joy, alertness, and good health to a very dear grandson. The healing was the result of gaining a deeper understanding of God and of man's relationship to Him. The healing also came through study of the Bible, especially the life of Christ Jesus, and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
When he was three and a half years old, our grandson, Charles, was diagnosed by doctors at a leading university as being autistic and dyslexic. The local school system conducted its own study based on this diagnosis and added "severe language disorder and aphasia." Charles spent one and a half years in the public school system's Special Education Program prior to entering kindergarten.
At the time, Charles was enrolled as a pupil in a Christian Science Sunday School, which he attended regularly. My daughter and I had discussed the diagnoses, and she allowed me to pray for the boy. Science and Health states, "The children of God have but one Mind." Armed with the knowledge that in reality we are all the spiritual children of God and that we can have no mind separate from His, I held fast to this truth as I prayed about our grandson.
