Christian Science nursing, the high standard

Michael D. Rissler

An account of healing, only seven paragraphs long, provides a vivid but not untypical picture of what being a lifelong Christian Scientist can mean. This particular account, similar to the several testimonies of healing that appear in every issue of the Sentinel, is in this issue.

In it, a Christian Scientist tells about childhood healings, the healing of her father of a stomach ailment and of the cigarette habit, various healings with her own children as they were growing up; she tells of how she coped with grief when after many years of marriage she found herself single again. It's an inspiring but modest chronicle of one who has seen the power of God throughout her life and the lives of loved ones.

While seven paragraphs can hardly do justice to a lifetime's experience and all its ups and downs, it's not difficult to understand why such a person would have strong and realistic confidence in spiritual healing.
