Quick recovery from kitchen mishap

Patricia Gantt Reiman

A few years ago I was in the process of cooking dinner. I’m not much of a cook, but this time I had really enjoyed following a recipe and preparing the entree. The pan had been in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes when I took it out to add a sauce. I poured the sauce over it, and then picked it up again to put it back in the oven. However, I had neglected to put on oven mitts. The glass baking dish was about ten inches off the tile counter before the pain hit me and I realized what I was doing.

All that day I had been praying with a phrase from the definition of Church in the Glossary of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, which says, “the demonstration of divine Science” (p. 583). The entire definition reads: “Church. The structure of Truth and Love; whatever rests upon and proceeds from divine Principle.

“The Church is that institution, which affords proof of its utility and is found elevating the race, rousing the dormant understanding from material beliefs to the apprehension of spiritual ideas and the demonstration of divine Science, thereby casting out devils, or error, and healing the sick.”
