Bowed legs straightened

Betty Jane Bissell with contributions from Shirley Decker

My grandson Brandon was unusually large when he was born, and when he began to walk his legs were bowed. His father had also had bowed legs when he was a baby, and had worn leg braces night and day to correct the problem. There was talk in the family that Brandon would probably need braces, too.

I encouraged my daughter to rely on spiritual healing. And I referred her to this passage from Science and Health: "Inasmuch as God is good and the fount of all being, He does not produce moral or physical deformity; therefore such deformity is not real, but is illusion, the mirage of error"(pp. 243-244).

We lived on opposite coasts, and so I didn't see my daughter or her family for several months. But every time I thought of my grandson, I reminded myself that "All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all"(Science and Health, p. 468).
