Not sick anymore!

My name is Hannah, and I live in Grand Ledge, Michigan. I am in second grade, and I attend a Christian Science Sunday School.

A few months ago, I was visiting Grama’s (my grandmother’s) house, when I started to feel sick. My mom was going to be picking me up soon to go home. I had been looking forward to playing with my little brother, Noah, and my friends next door.

Grama said to me that we should read the Bible story of David and Goliath. She had a children’s Bible storybook from years ago. It was written by a Christian Scientist. I love to read Bible stories with Grama.

In the story, Goliath, a giant, wanted to destroy the shepherd boy David. But David was not afraid because he knew that God was right there with him. Grama explained to me that the thought of feeling sick was like a big Goliath. It was trying to make me feel so bad that I would not be able to play when I got home. But I knew that God was there to help me as He helped David. God would take care of me. I could never be separated from God.

Grama asked me, “Hannah, does 2+2=5?” She asked me this several times, and I started to laugh. She told me that just like 2+2=5 was not true, neither was the thought that I was sick true. I reflect God, who is Principle, Mind, Soul, Spirit, Life, Truth, and Love. And as a reflection of God I can’t be sick because God can’t be sick.

Then the phone rang, and when Grama answered it, I got up and did a few handstands. We had destroyed this old giant Goliath, called sickness. I felt great!!

My mom came to pick me up, and soon I was home playing outside with my little brother and my friends next door.

Thank you, Father-Mother God.
