Turn off the noise

Several of my fellow counselors had come down with what seemed to be the flu. They were given time off from their duties, and the rest of us pitched in to help. 

I knew that the biggest help I could be wasn’t just covering for them during our various daily camp activities. As a Christian Scientist, I could pray. I knew these counselors were also praying for themselves, and I joined in by supporting everyone at camp in my own prayers. Through studying the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, I’d learned that healing was about a change in thought—understanding the reality and goodness of God so clearly that any sense of evil or disease no longer appears compelling or threatening and instead simply vanishes from consciousness, and from the body.

Love’s allness protects us.
