Our biweekly series on how people have nurtured their public practice of Christian Science healing.

NO GREATER JOY

KAY KEELOR—FLINT, MICHIGAN

I'VE HAD A LOT to heal and to overcome in my life, which has definitely prepared me to be a healer! The thrilling thing is, I've learned that whatever our past or present struggles, the same loving, forgiving Father-Mother God knows our true individuality as perfect, whole, and complete, without flaw, without hurt, without a sin-filled existence. God's face shines on us with the radiance of a new father seeing his child for the first time. And He always sees each of His sons and daughters in that light.

When I was a child, I had chronic ear infections and appeared to be suffering from deafness, which a medical diagnosis later confirmed. (My mom was taking me to a Christian Science Sunday School, but my dad wasn't a Christian Scientist, and out of concern for his fears, she agreed to take me to a doctor.) Soon after this diagnosis, I had a very painful earache. The pain was so excruciating that there was nothing my parents could do to quiet or comfort me.
