Grateful for early blessings

Barbara Ann Johnson

I have never known life without wonderful Christian Science. 

One of my earliest memories is of when I was in grade school, several decades ago. I was happily playing dodge ball when the principal pulled me aside and told me I had to go home because I had the mumps. I didn’t know what he was talking about, but he saw evidence of this disease and he sent me walking home. 

Once home, my mother, a class-taught Christian Scientist, was surprised and asked me why I wasn’t in school. I told her the principal had sent me home because he said I had the mumps. She asked if I felt sick. I said no. She knew God made me well, but she also knew we needed to pray and expect healing from any appearance of illness.
