Broken foot healed
Several years ago, when my twin grandsons were still infants, I drove across the country with my sister to visit my daughter and my grandchildren. Our visit was slated to last just a week or so, as I had my annual Christian Science students’ association meeting afterward in yet another state.
As we sat down to dinner at my daughter’s, one of the babies began to fuss, so I went to pick him up, expecting to hold him while we ate. As I held him and walked back to the table, I tripped on an obstacle and began to fall forward. My greatest concern was to avoid falling on the baby, and although he was startled, he was unharmed in the tumble. I was mostly unhurt, but my foot was painful and could bear no weight.
I was so thankful for the baby’s safety, and I immediately declared that as God’s reflection, I could neither be fallen nor suffer injury. I was helped up and managed to get to the couch, where I called a Christian Science practitioner for prayerful help in overcoming the difficulty.
