I would like to give thanks for a beautiful healing that occurred over a year ago.

I was stringing Christmas lights on a holly bush at home. One of the branches was bent backward by a strand of lights. When I freed the branch it whipped violently and very forcefully hit me in the face, deeply embedding one of the thorny leaves in my eye.

As carefully as I could, I removed the sharp leaf. The pain was so intense, I felt as though I would faint. But instead I shouted aloud, "No!" I was really seizing the fact that harmony was all that was going on there. I'm so grateful Mary Baker Eddy included in our church services each week "the scientific statement of being" from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures. As I was struggling with the pain, which threatened to overwhelm me, this wonderful statement came clearly to me. I repeated it again and again. 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" (p. 468). As the spiritual import of this became crystallized in my thinking, the pain and nausea ceased. At this point, there was no vision in the eye, however, only light perception. I went indoors to wash the eye with water to be certain there was no dirt in it.
