A week full of healing

Originally appeared online in the teen series Your Healings -  June 25, 2024.

The beginning of summer break always meant a week of “camp” at my aunt’s house with my younger sister. Every year, we rode horses, played with her pets, worked on art projects, baked, swam, and learned more about God.

One morning, while we were getting ready for Christian Science Sunday School, my sister and I were warming up Pop-Tarts. She had adjusted the toaster to the highest setting. Without realizing that, I removed one from the toaster, and it broke open. The filling was really hot, and it burned my hands. The large blisters that formed scared me. 

When I told my aunt, I knew she was praying for me, and she bandaged my hands. Then we all piled into the car for church.
