Grateful for a lifetime of healing

Christian Science means everything to me. The multiple ways its Discoverer, Mary Baker Eddy, provided for us to grow in our understanding of a loving, all-good God and of ourselves as the very expression of that goodness have anchored my life. 

From childhood I was blessed by the shining example of parents, grandparents, and friends who were seeing, living, and proving the value and effectiveness of Christian Science healing and living according to the model provided by Christ Jesus. A landmark healing of a severe internal disorder when I was a child secured my deepest conviction of God’s pure love for me. In the decades since, I have experienced and witnessed countless healings. Two in recent years stand out.

A few years ago, I was struggling with a painful digestive issue that was causing me fear and a lot of sleepless nights. I phoned a Christian Science practitioner, who was available day and night. I also spent a lot of time praying with the Bible Lessons from the Christian Science Quarterly, studying Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, and reading or listening to articles from the Christian Science periodicals in order to fill my thoughts with an awareness of the presence of God, divine Truth and Love.
