I finished the dance healed
I was at my school participating in a dance performance for Colonial Day in front of the whole school. I had been practicing for several weeks for this event. During the square dance performance, I hurt my ankle. But I felt I should keep going because I didn’t want to spoil the performance. It hurt so bad I started to cry.
And then I remembered that God is All, and that God is Spirit, so I am spiritual, too. I learned in Sunday School that I am God’s child and I am “the spiritual image and likeness of God” (Mary Baker Eddy, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 591). We learn that we are a reflection of God. That means my foot could not really hurt because I’m spiritual, not material. I can reflect only good, because God is only good.
Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not
hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
