A CHRISTMASTIME HEALING

ELIZABETH K. BRISCOE

Last December, a week before Christmas, the area I live in experienced high winds. One evening, returning home in the early darkness, I tripped on a large fallen palm frond that was protruding over the sidewalk. It caught my right foot, and I was thrown onto the cold cement, facedown. The blow to my face and head knocked me unconscious. When I regained consciousness, I was stunned and disoriented. And as I tried to get up, I couldn't move.

At once, the angel thought came to me, "You are God's perfect, spiritual idea, and ideas cannot fall out of God's care." As a lifelong student of Christian Science, I was used to relying on prayer in times of trouble. So my prayers were based on the confidence I had in the immediacy of God's powerful love.

After this prayer, I again lost consciousness, and, the next thing I knew, I was standing at my door, key in hand, unlocking it. Since I couldn't recall what had happened between my time on the sidewalk and opening the door, I felt as if I'd been carried and supported by God, who is divine Mind. I crossed the living room and sat down to collect my thoughts and pray. In deep gratitude I began to thank God, realizing what a blessing it was that I'd been able to make it into the house.
