Steep steps, high heels—and healing
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Last year, as I was hurrying down a steep staircase—in high heels—at church, I lost my footing, plunged to the landing, and hit the plaster wall, making a very large dent. My left shoulder and arm were pinned under me and the pain in my head was fearsome. Several ushers, including my husband, rushed to assist me.
I’ve been a Christian Scientist for over six decades and my family and I have had many wonderful healings. So I was absolutely convinced that my best option was to turn to my Father-Mother God in this challenge. Through my study of Christian Science, I’ve learned that we all live under God’s law, which is consistently good, and that spiritual healing is always available.
My head, neck, and shoulder were very painful, but I was able to move to a sitting position with the ushers’ help. I stayed there quietly and prayed. I repeated quietly to myself any statement I could remember from the Bible and Mary Baker Eddy’s book, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
