Healed by Love's light
When my son was building a lovely area around a perennial garden for me, I helped him carry heavy landscape blocks to the backyard. After a few months, I found I was in much discomfort in my left shoulder, and for over a year I was hindered in my normal activities. At night, I could sleep only on one side and had to prop pillows under my arm so I could rest peacefully.
During this time several acquaintances mentioned that they had needed surgery for shoulder injuries. I hadn’t told anyone about my situation, but as I listened to them, I found I really had a desire to prove Christian Science and use the truths I had been sincerely studying for some time. I had no doubt that God would supply the understanding and “light” I needed to bring about a healing.
I also desired to help others through Christian Science practice and thought I must be able to prove it for myself before trying to help others. So I continued to study the Bible Lessons in the Christian Science Quarterly and went to bed each night with a comforting Bible verse or a thought from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.
