The greatest gift my mother gave me was Christian Science

The greatest gift my mother gave me was Christian Science Through her example, and through healings, I've learned that I can always trust God to solve every problem and to protect me. I have learned that "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" (Ps. 46:1).

When I applied for an insurance policy recently, a woman called me to ask questions regarding my medical history. Most of the questions began with "Have you ever had medical treatment for ...," followed by all sorts of physical ailments. My response to all these questions was "No." When she asked me how many times in my life I'd been to a doctor, I felt the need to explain to her that I am a Christian Scientist. She sounded genuinely happy to hear this, and said that was great.

This caused me to think back on all the times when I suppose I might have sought out a doctor, had I not found healing in Christian Science instead. I have had healings of, among other things, mumps, a yeast infection, what I think would have been diagnosed as bronchitis and sinusitis, and of challenges in relationships and employment.
