One day I was eating in the cafeteria

Andrew Hopkins with contributions from Alice M. Hopkins

One day I was eating in the cafeteria. My friend dropped his apple. I picked it up, but my shoelaces were untied, so when I walked back to my seat I tripped. I fell onto a metal bar and I cried. So they took me to the office and the teacher said, "Can you move your arm?" I said, "No."

She thought I had broken the bone. So she put on a sling and called my grandma. Grandma took me home. Then she called my mom and dad and we got the Christian Science Hymnal. We sang all my favorite songs. I especially like "The Mother's Evening Prayer" by Mrs. Eddy (No. 207) because it tells about peace, joy, and power and also about God's love.

When they were singing I was praying. I remembered that I am the perfect image and likeness of God, and nothing but Love can touch me. Before you knew it I could move my arm. And everybody cheered, and I said, "Thank you, God."
