A THANKSGIVING HEALING

CAROL EBERLEIN

The following experience stands out for me as a landmark because it clearly showed me the scientific nature of spiritual healing.

One Thanksgiving holiday, I pulled a rack of pumpkin pies out of a hot oven only to discover they needed to bake a little longer. I'd used an oven mitt on my left hand, but the rack was too heavy to be pushed back into place with only one hand. I couldn't find the other oven mitt and decided to use just the tips of the fingers of my right hand to help push the rack. I lined up my bare fingers along the edge of the rack, gave it a good solid push, and shut the oven door.

I only realized what I'd done when searing pain shot through my arm and felt like it was filling my whole body. It was obvious to me that no amount of ice or cold water—home-remedies I might have used in the past—would be of any help whatsovever. And I knew professional emergency assistance couldn't possibly be obtained quickly enough. The only help I was sure could meet the need—and which I was accustomed to turning to for immediate healing—was Christian Science treatment.
