Arms of Love around each of us

Marin with contributions from Katy

This last spring, I was trying to jump up on the monkey bars and I fell. I cried. My mom took me into the car and we went to Campus House. (I go to a school for Christian Scientists, and Campus House is a place you can go to get Christian Science nursing help if you need it.)

On the way, we prayed and listened to hymns in the car. There were two songs from the Christian Science Hymnal, “Shepherd, show me how to go” (Mary Baker Eddy, Hymn No. 305) and “Everlasting arms of Love” (No. 53). When I heard those songs I felt like I was with God, and I knew He could never leave my side.

At Campus House, they gave me some juice and wrapped my arm gently. That night I woke up many times and each time my mom and I prayed. We sang Hymn No. 53 many times. My favorite part is, “God it is who bears us on, / His the arm we lean upon.” I felt like I was leaning on His arm, not mine. Finally I fell asleep for a long time.
