Since my previous testimony was published almost twenty years ago, I have been healed of a swollen foot, severe hemorrhoids, and painful nervous pricks on my face. Two more recent healings follow.

Three years ago my grown son—my only child—passed on suddenly from a fall. Not only did I have to heal grief, but also great shock. The Bible Lesson subject that week was "Love." Through the study of this Lesson I saw the spiritual fact clearly that man has never fallen from God's love, which is everywhere and fills all space. My clear understanding and acceptance of this truth healed much of the grief and shock. But it took some months to overcome the feeling of a gap in my life, since my son had been my closest relative.

I began to pray with the first paragraph on page 266 of Science and Health, which asks: "Would existence without personal friends be to you a blank? Then the time will come when you will be solitary, left without sympathy; but this seeming vacuum is already filled with divine Love." I was First Reader of my church, and there was a great outpouring of love to me by the membership. This helped me see that the loss was only a "seeming vacuum," and that divine Love was continuing to care for and cherish me.
