IT'S ALL ABOUT SHARING

JULI VICE——MURFREESBORO, TENNESSEE

I ALWAYS FELT the truths of Christian Science were to be shared and not "put on a shelf." This desire to share came from gratitude for the blessings I continued to see in my daily study of Christian Science. Being raised in a Christian Science home, I had learned to rely on God for my care. I took seriously Jesus' command to let my light shine.

After I was married and my children were small, I started to visit the closest Christian Science Reading Room and spent two to three hours each week prayerfully addressing community and world issues, along with praying for my family. I had a small window of time in which to do this, so this time was very precious to me.

Later my husband got a teaching job in another part of the state, and I took a job at the same school. This opportunity really turned out to be a step in my public practice of Christian Science. I ended up working with special education students whose disabilities were considered profound. There were many opportunities to pray and share what I was learning in Christian Science. Sometimes my co-workers would ask me to pray for them, and I even shared copies of Science and Health with them. I loved working with the students, learning how to see each of them as a spiritual idea, and witnessing their progress.
