Sudden paralysis reversed
One afternoon near the Christmas holidays, I was kneeling by our bed untangling a piece of jewelry. I was consciously grateful for the dexterity, control, clear vision, and perseverance I was able to express to complete the task. But as I stood up, I suddenly felt very weak. I called out to my husband, then collapsed in his arms as we met in the living room.
When I regained consciousness, I was lying on my back with my two preteen daughters kneeling next to me. My husband was on the speakerphone with a Christian Science practitioner, who immediately declared out loud the scientific facts of being—that God, Spirit, is All-in-all and that, as His reflection or idea, I am spiritual and perfect. She spoke with deep conviction.
