WART ON SON'S FINGER HEALED
Recently, while sorting through a folder I'd saved of cards, letters, and drawings from my children, I found this note, written by my son in wonderful childlike handwriting, from when he was eight years old: "Dear Mom, thanks for healing my wart and other things we healed by Christian Science. I love you." I smiled as I recalled this healing, which had happened just a few months earlier. It was such proof of the activity and love of God, meeting our present need.
My son was an avid baseball player from the time he was able to throw a ball. He expresses such natural grace and excelled in this sport early on. He became quite distressed, though, when he developed a wart on a finger that he used both in hitting and pitching. It was painful and growing.
My husband, who is not a Christian Scientist, bought some medicine to put on the wart which was supposed to dissolve it. But instead the wart grew worse, making ball playing increasingly difficult. The next step, according to my husband, was to go to a doctor for further treatment.
