A perfect reflection

Marilynn Simonsen

Some time ago a friend and I went kayaking in Northern California. It was a beautiful day on the lake. The temperature was perfect, there was no wind, and the water was as smooth as glass. In fact, the water was like a mirror, casting a perfect reflection of the scenery around the lake. Both my friend and I commented that if we could take a picture of the hills reflected in the water, looking at that picture you wouldn’t be able to tell if the image was the reflection or the actual hills.

We had a wonderful morning kayaking, but later that evening I noticed an ache in my arm and wrist. I thought the ache must have been the result of all the paddling I’d done that day, and I just assumed that it would go away in a short time. But several days went by, and it didn’t get better—in fact, the pain got worse. I began to feel weakness and other abnormal sensations in my arm. This made me realize I should quit ignoring the problem! I immediately began to pray about it and gave myself a Christian Science treatment.
