PATIENCE GAINED, RASH HEALED
A few years ago, I was participating in my sorority's rush activities at college, which involved introducing myself to other students and making friendly conversation. Suddenly I developed a rash that covered my entire body, except for my face. I remember thinking that this was the worst time to have this problem, since I was supposed to be focusing on socializing and meeting new friends.
Since I'd been raised in Christian Science, I knew there was more to this situation than met the eye. In other words, I felt sure the rash could be healed by turning to God's love to help free me from worry and irritation. Since I was too uncomfortable and distracted to continue, I excused myself from the rest of the day's festivities.
