Healed after auto accident

While doing an errand with my two teenage children several years ago, I turned off the highway onto a side street and waited for a car opposite to me to turn so I could turn left. Since there were no other cars, and the car was almost out of my way, I began to move into the intersection—but the car unexpectedly stopped in front of me. As I started to go around it, we were broadsided by another car traveling at high speed. 

The next thing I knew, my son was waking me up, asking if I was OK. I told him yes and asked if we had been hit. (Thankfully, both of my children were just fine.) I woke up again when paramedics were trying to get me out of the car, then again when I was in the ambulance, and after that in a hospital emergency room.

While the doctors talked about doing an MRI scan and surgery, I started repeating aloud “the scientific statement of being” from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. It begins, “There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter” and ends, “Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual” (p. 468).
