Freed from severe injury

Patricia M. Watt

One day almost 20 years ago, while I was horseback riding, my horse lost her footing and we both fell into a fence. Friends of mine who were watching later told me that my leg was between a fence post and the horse, and the fence was knocked down as we fell. I landed in a ditch and was knocked unconscious. My only memory of the fall was of another horse in the field curiously sniffing me with his big nose in my face. 

My friends called an ambulance, and when I gained some sensibility, I told them to tell my husband to call a Christian Science practitioner. Shortly after the practitioner was contacted, I fully regained consciousness. My leg was severely damaged, and at the hospital many X-rays were taken, as the doctors fully expected broken bones. There were none. A plastic surgeon was brought in and my leg was stitched up. I was given crutches and sent home the next morning. 

The Christian Science practitioner and I prayed with several helpful ideas. In Ephesians 4:16 we read, “From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” For me this meant that in divine Love we are spiritually joined together, perfectly at one with God.
