Spiritual progress and a measles healing
My progress from sense to Soul has been an interesting, challenging, and rewarding experience. As a teenager, I used to play the piano at a Christian Science Society in Ohio, where my mother was the First Reader. That is when my interest in Christian Science began, although I wasn’t serious about it by any means. You might say that I “dabbled” in Christian Science until I married and had children.
When we moved from Ohio to California many years ago, my husband didn’t have a job and we had two young children. When we settled in San Mateo, I started to attend the local Church of Christ, Scientist, and enrolled my children in Sunday School. A dear member of this church befriended me and helped me understand the importance of the Christian Science Bible Lesson. She was a great help as I started to study Christian Science more and make it a priority in my life.
Over the years, my family and I experienced many blessings through the application of Christian Science through prayer. The birth of our third child was natural and harmonious—quite a contrast to the birth of my other children. I also had healings of a severe knife wound on my hand, of colds and flu; and I experienced protection from accidents and was freed from grief when my husband passed on.
