Distorted hearing corrected
One evening I was watching a TV show with my husband when the sound suddenly seemed to be distorted and echo-like. I asked my husband if he thought there was something wrong with the TV, and he replied that everything sounded fine to him. I continued listening, but something sounded abnormal to me.
The next morning, I was practicing hymns for Sunday School on the piano, and it sounded quite out of tune, especially the bass range. I asked my husband if the piano sounded off-key, and he said it sounded correct to him. The thought came that my hearing was what was broken, not the TV or the piano. Right on the heels of that suggestion, the words “I will listen for Thy voice,” from a poem by the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy (Poems, p. 14), came to thought. This angel message redirected my thinking from feeling concern about my hearingto listening for spiritual truths from God.
