CHILD'S HEART CONDITION HEALED
Many years ago, I was a foster mother caring for children from a local children's home. One day, the agency phoned and asked if I would consider caring for a three-month-old baby boy who'd been diagnosed with a very serious heart condition. The doctors did not expect him to survive.
My husband and I agreed to take the child in. When they brought him into our home, he was listless and unaware of his surroundings. It was very difficult to get him to eat food, and he did not progress normally.
I knew about Christian Science. I'd attended a Christian Science Sunday School as a child, and after marrying I had started to attend a Christian Science church. Through prayer, as taught in Christian Science, I'd had healings with other foster children in my care, and so I was expecting healing with this child also. I kept praying with the truth of God's perfection and the consequent wholeness of His child, or idea. Every time I looked at him, I knew this child was God's unblemished expression. Each Sunday I took him to the nursery in a nearby Christian Science church, where he received much loving care.
