One Sunday afternoon in early 1980, I inadvertently knocked a mug of freshly made coffee off a low table. It splashed into the face of my son of just a few months old.
My young son screamed. I picked him up and hugged him as I declared silently to myself that God did not cause this accident to happen and that my son had never left the arms of divine Love. My son continued to scream, so, still hugging him and comforting him, I walked to the telephone and rang a Christian Science practitioner. I quickly explained to her what had happened. I said that I was concerned about the child's eyes.
The practitioner assured me that Spirit's senses are untouched, eternally without pain, and forever at peace.
