A child’s quick healing
I received a call from my children’s school at 9:45 in the morning, letting me know that I needed to come pick up my son. I was told that it looked like he might have scabies. I was also told that there had been a documented case of scabies in my son’s nursery school class the week before and that scabies was contagious. I immediately got in my car and drove to the school to pick up my son.
I also began to pray, and I phoned a Christian Science practitioner to pray with me. The practitioner and I spoke about my son’s spiritual perfection as a child of God, and about how in reality scabies could not exist because it was not created by God. God, good, created all and could not create disease. The practitioner said that he would get right to work in giving my son Christian Science treatment.
I arrived at the school and went straight to the assistant principal’s office, where both my son and my daughter were waiting to be picked up. The assistant principal, who was aware that my family practices Christian Science, told me that the quickest way that my children could return to school would be for me to take them to a doctor for a prescription cream.
