Horse healed of colic
On Easter morning in 2016, I went out to feed my horses and discovered Lucy (my husband’s beloved mare) lying on the ground, covered in wet mud and unable to eat her breakfast. I recognized the symptoms as those of an advanced state of colic, a condition that would have commonly been considered untreatable at that point.
I called a Christian Science practitioner, and he said he would begin giving Christian Science treatment right away. As I drove to church that morning, I was also praying in order to calm my thought and destroy the fear that had crept in.
I realized that this fear was based on knowledge I had gained in my work as a horse trainer at a large training barn. So I thought, “I’m going to have to cut that tree of false material knowledge down.” I needed to replace it with spiritual reasoning, grounded in the fact that God, Spirit, sustains, loves, and maintains all His creatures.
