One of my first healings in Christian Science came after...
One of my first healings in Christian Science came after a car door closed accidentally on two of my fingers. I prayed and studied deeply "the scientific statement of being" in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy. It begins, "There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all." At the time, I was serving as a pianist with an instrumental group. I'm happy to say that I was on hand for the next performance—entirely healed and grateful to perform my part.
Later I was offered a position teaching instrumental music in four public schools—a perfect opportunity to put into practice the spiritual truths I had been studying in Christian Science. It was at this time that I became aware of trouble with my eyesight. I asked for help through prayer from a Christian Science practitioner, and the healing came quickly. I rejoiced then and I rejoice now for clear vision.
This healing has helped me see more of God's creation expressed in all, as well as the importance of the reference to eyes in Science and Health as "spiritual discernment,—not material but mental."
