I'd like to tell about a healing I had when I was about four

Austin Keel with contributions from Hallie Rea Keel

I'd like to tell about a healing I had when I was about four. I was going to school with my grandmother. There was a big pickup truck. It went through a red light and ran into us.

Our car was wrecked, and I severely hurt my face, my hand, and the inside of my mouth. My mom called a Christian Science practitioner to treat me through prayer. I couldn't eat much that night. But I did pray to know that since I was a perfect child of God, I couldn't be injured. When I woke up in the morning I could eat.

In four days I was completely healed. My grandmother got a new car. That shows me that God really does love us.

I am Austin Keel's mother. We are very grateful for this healing. Five generations of our family have been Christian Scientists. It was only after this healing, however, that I finally understood clearly that error is illusion.

I came home shortly after the accident occurred. The truck had not seen the red light. He hit my mother's car broadside, causing it to spin through the intersection. The impact was at Austin's door. My mother wasn't injured, but it seemed that Austin's hand might have been broken, and there was visible damage to his face and mouth. He couldn't eat much because many of his teeth were loose. I called my Christian Science teacher immediately to treat him through prayer, and within twenty minutes all of the pain was gone and most of the shock.

When the insurance adjuster came to take our statements, she rejoiced with us in Austin's quick recovery.

Within four days all symptoms of the accident were gone, and he went to Sunday School completely healed. There was never any concern about riding in cars or any fear of accidents.

When the insurance adjuster came to take our statements, she rejoiced with us in Austin's quick recovery. My mother received the proper amount for her wrecked car and all our practitioner bills were reimbursed without hesitation.
