Healed after a hiking trip

Months ago I was hiking on a lake trail involving some elevation shifts, with rocks and tree roots to step over. At one point in the late morning, I fell on my side onto some logs at the side of the trail.

Before being helped up, I sat on the trail for a minute declaring what was true about me in God’s eyes, to counter in my thought the fear that God’s children can fall. God does not know us as made up of bones, muscles, and other physical characteristics, but rather as His spiritual expression, made up of the qualities that characterize God’s nature. For instance, God being unlimited Life, it’s natural for us to express balance and freedom of movement. Because God is measureless Love, it’s natural to experience joyfulness in our interactions with others. Because God is Soul, we include the ability to freely witness beauty all around us. As Spirit, God knows us as actively expressing strength.

I am so grateful that I was hiking with my son and two Christian Science nurses. Their quick and continual declarations of my spiritual perfection in God were a tremendous help. I was able to continue hiking around the lake to the pickup point with minimal assistance.
