Leg injury quickly healed

Joyce E. Dronsfield

“Don’t go there!” a friend once lovingly but firmly told me when I was about to turn a conversation in an unhelpful, unproductive direction. I feel there is a spiritual lesson in that reminder. I’ve often found that the best outcomes occur when we turn our thought toward God, as I experienced many years ago when I was on a rigorous trip in Switzerland, co-leading a group of English Girl Guides.

We were renting a centuries-old chalet on a mountain, and one day we walked down the steep mountain path to meet a bus that would take us to a little town, from which we were to hike to a beautiful lake. As we journeyed on the bus, the driver made a right-angle turn and abruptly slammed on the brakes to avoid a motorcycle that was coming right at us at a high speed. I was thrown from my front seat down the stairs of the bus, injuring my leg.

The other leader helped me back to my seat, where I briefly lost consciousness. My companion knew I was a Christian Scientist, and she respected my desire to pray quietly when I awoke a few minutes later. I felt assured of God’s healing presence as I prayed, and was comforted by silently singing poems by Mary Baker Eddy in the Christian Science Hymnal.
