No room for evil

Colin Holmes with contributions from Nancy Holmes

One afternoon before dinner, I was climbing into our clubhouse, and I heard a buzzing noise. Something was zooming around the top level. When I got there, a bee stung me several times on the wrist. It hurt.

I went to my bedroom to try to do something about it. There was a red dot on my wrist. I put a bandage on my wrist. Then I prayed to God. The thought came to me that there is no room for evil in God's kingdom. If there's no room for anything evil, we can't be hurt.

After dinner, the bee sting hardly hurt at all. And by bedtime it was fine.

I am Colin's mother, and took down his letter for him as he dictated it. He is seven years old, and this was his first experience praying for himself. When he told me about what happened with the bee, he had already prayed, and was calm and well. We're both grateful for Christian Science, which teaches that we can always turn to God for help.
