FACIAL INJURIES COMPLETELY HEALED

DIANA DAVIS BUTLER

The greatest gift my mother gave me was Christian Science. Although my father was not a Christian Scientist, he witnessed my mother's wonderful healing of a life threatening condition and was quite willing for me to attend Christian Science Sunday School. I learned to cherish and trust the idea of a loving, caring God, much as a child trusts his or her parents' wisdom.

At some point, however, the child has to make that wisdom his or her own through experience. Learning to know God better has become my lifework, and that spiritual journey began in earnest with a healing.

When I was about 11, I caught the wheel of my bicycle in the edge between the sidewalk and the grass parking strip. I remember nothing about the accident, but apparently was thrown headlong into a palm tree (we didn't have helmets back then) and then onto the sidewalk. I was near our home, and my mother came running out to help me. The injuries on my face were not a pretty sight. My mother called a Christian Science practitioner to pray with us, and my father spent that evening at my bedside. I was never in severe pain.
