Ever since beginning the study of Christian Science in my early years of Sunday School, I’ve enjoyed putting it into practice in everyday-life situations. Christian Science has taught me of God’s love and care for all His children. I have witnessed this truth on different occasions in my life. 

For example, I recently saw the way God’s ever-present care helps us experience order and harmony. I am a preschool teacher and work as part of a team with other colleagues at a school. One day, unexpectedly, an argument arose between two colleagues over a work situation in which I found myself involved. One of them had different expectations about my role in this particular situation. I had not acted as she would have liked. I felt surprised by her questioning me and tried to explain. Meanwhile, in my thoughts I was declaring that God was with us and that none of us was separated from His love. 

A few hours later, at home, I experienced sharp chest pains on my left side and was unable to sit, stand, or remain in any position. I felt afraid, and my heart began to race. My husband, who also studies Christian Science and has seen the power of God in his daily experience, said to me, “What are you accepting?”
