A healing of my own

It was pitch black as I began the walk back to my cabin from a camp meeting. In order not to wake any campers, I chose not to use my flashlight. Not more than ten seconds later, I walked straight into a planter, hitting my shin hard. The pain was sharp, and it felt like it was getting worse.

Though I grew up in Christian Science and had heard and read about other people’s healings, I didn’t feel I’d had as much success with my own healings. Then again, I hadn’t really had a lot of things in my life that needed healing. But as I saw my leg under the bathroom light when I was brushing my teeth a few minutes later, I noticed my shin was turning a shade darker than my normal skin color, and it looked like it would be an ugly bruise the next day. I realized that while this issue seemed small, no issue is too small to be healed.

I realized that while this issue seemed small, no issue is too small to be healed.
