GOD HOLDS ME IN HIS HANDS
This summer, I went to a camp for Christian Scientists. On the way there, my mom and I stopped at a store. While we were shopping, I had a stomachache. I sat down and prayed, and kept saying to myself, "I am God's reflection, and if God can't have a stomachache, then neither can I." After I prayed for a few minutes, my stomach stopped hurting, and I was able to finish shopping and go on to camp.
Then at camp, I injured my big toe on some concrete stairs. It looked bad and hurt a lot. I went to the Christian Science nurse, and she cleaned it up and covered it with a bandage. My mom was one of the camp teachers, so she came and we both prayed. I also went to see the Christian Science practitioner at camp. The practitioner talked with me about how God was taking care of me. Then I felt better. I was able to swim during a special activity that night.
