SKIING INJURY COMPLETELY HEALED

A friend and I went skiing, but I was apprehensive because I'd skied only once before. So I was praying the entire time. I'd almost completed my first run, when suddenly the terrain became steeper. Quickly gaining speed and unable to control my direction, I thought the only thing that would be able to stop me was the trees I was headed for.

Thankfully, I avoided the trees, but I fell. And as I fell, I heard two loud popping sounds coming from my leg. Tumbling some more, I finally ended up on my back.

At first I tried calling for help because I couldn't sit up on my own. But I quickly realized my friend was some distance ahead of me and might not have been aware of my situation. I admit I cried a little, but while I lay there, I became very aware of the beautiful sky above me and the perspective I now suddenly had of it. Allaying my fear, a thought came to me. It was an idea that a Christian Science practitioner had shared with me just a few weeks earlier regarding another challenge I'd talked with him about. He'd said the basic issue involved my believing I was separated from God. When he'd said that, I couldn't figure out exactly how that idea applied to me, but it sure fit my current situation perfectly. My need for a healing idea was met even before I'd asked.
