Kitten healed of paralysis
Gratitude can be instrumental in bringing about a healing. This was illustrated to me some time ago when our then four-month-old kitten was injured. We were on a trip out of town when I received a phone call from our pet-sitter saying that she had found the kitten hanging from a chair by his hind legs and that she was taking him to the veterinarian.
I immediately began to pray for our kitten, affirming that he was a perfect spiritual idea of God. A couple of hours later I talked to the vet, who informed me that the kitten was unable to move his hind legs or tail. He said surgery might be needed, but he wanted to wait a day or two to make a decision. I was grateful for more time to pray for the kitten.
I called a Christian Science practitioner and asked her to pray with me for the kitten and to help allay the fear I was feeling. She assured me that the kitten was safe in the arms of divine Love. I felt confident and reassured that our pet was then, and always would be, whole and complete.
