The news media seem filled today with reports of the struggles of the homeless, the poor, the single-parent families. I have found that Christian Science provides the answers that help one see these challenges become opportunities to find a better, more satisfying and fruitful life.

My father passed on when I was three, but I never felt that I was without a father. One of the earliest lessons I learned from my mother was that God is everyone's real Father and Mother. Many years before, my mother had had an instantaneous healing after reading the chapter "Prayer" in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and learning that God is not only "our Father" but also our Mother. Doctors had told her she had tuberculosis and had less than a year to live. However, when the spiritual truth dawned on her than God was her real Father and Mother, a longstanding resentment of her parents was healed and so was the tuberculosis. Hemorrhaging ceased, and she regained the weight she'd lost. She began to feel really alive for the first time in her life.

My mother knew practically nothing about the teachings of Christian Science when this healing took place, but later she became a Christian Science practitioner and was listed in The Christian Science Journal for over forty years. As I was growing up, my mother never preached to me, told me I had to go to Sunday School or that I had to read the weekly Bible Lessons outlined in the Christian Science Quarterly. She just lived Christian Science so joyously and completely that I couldn't help loving Science so joyously and completely that I couldn't help loving Science and wanting to know more about it myself. I gladly went to Sunday School and read the lesson.
