'GOOD THINGS BEGAN TO HAPPEN'

BY NANCY HUGHART BURTIS

A few years ago my life changed abruptly. I was divorced from my husband of 30 years.

My children were grown, and I had never lived alone before. Fear and doubt flooded my thought. What did my future hold? Would I have enough income to live a decent life? Would I be lonely and feel that my life was over? These questions were of deep concern for me.

But I'd always relied on God for healing and guidance. I grew up in a Christian Science family where we learned to solve any problem through prayer. My grandmother was a staunch believer in the power of God. Our family had many healings because of her firm stand that God cared for and loved each of us.
