One day my finger got caught in a door

One day my finger got caught in a door. My friend went to go get my mom. My mom told me, "God is everywhere, and nothing apart from Him is present or has power" (Science and Health, p. 473).

Then I realized that since there is no spot where God is not, I cannot be hurt at all. On the way home, my mom sang hymns to me from the Christian Science Hymnal, and I started to sing with her.

When we got home, I called my grandma. She is a Christian Science practitioner. She told me not to be impressed by error. When my mom unwrapped my hand, the bleeding had stopped. She couldn't tell which finger had been smashed. By the next day my finger felt fine.
