Turning Points in Spiritual Growth February 15, 2016 Issue

Three words that changed everything

Madora M. Kibbe

Things seemed pretty hopeless when I walked into the Christian Science Reading Room that day. I was working at a retail store in a dead-end job that offered little hope for advancement.

I was grieving over the recent passing of a loved one. A close relationship had inexplicably ended. And it was two weeks before Christmas. To say that the joy of the holidays seemed very far away would be an understatement.

The one light at the end of my tunnel was the fact that I worked one block away from the nearest Reading Room, and I often went there on my lunch hour to study the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and gain a bit of spiritual refreshment. I felt sorely in need of that refreshment now.
