It is high time this testimony was written

It is high time this testimony was written. I have had so many proofs of God's omnipotence and omnipresence during my life, I am delighted to share some of these experiences.

It began when my mother had been unable to have any children. She said in her prayers that if she were to have a child, she would hope that he would live a life in service to God. I came along! She claimed God as the true Father of man.

When I was quite young, I was healed through Christian Science of spinal meningitis and also of a severe accident following a fall from a wall. Later, when I was playing soccer at school, I badly twisted my leg. A friend had been off school for several weeks with a similar injury. I was very frightened. Christian Science Sunday School had taught me to overcome fear by knowing God's pure power as infinite Love. I sat on the sideline of the soccer pitch, glorying in the knowledge of God's omnipotence. The words of a hymn from the Christian Science Hymnal came to thought: "Everlasting arms of Love / Are beneath, around, above . . ." (No. 53). I was healed within minutes and was able to finish the game.
