I have been abundantly blessed...

Mabel Margaret Newcomer

I have been abundantly blessed by Christian Science through the years. Among the blessings are the healing and protection which I received through a spiritual understanding of the Ten Commandments. My daughter was to sing in a choral group in a nearby city. On reaching the auditorium, I found myself suffering from the symptoms of influenza. I climbed the steps with much effort and took a seat in a quiet spot where I could turn to God in prayer.

It was my privilege at that time to be a teacher in a Christian Science Sunday School, and we had been studying the Commandments in class. It came to me to test my understanding of them and to apply their healing power in this time of need. I repeated each one prayerfully and expectantly, giving thanks to God for the special healing message I found therein.

When I had finished, I was completely free from all symptoms of the illness. I was able to enjoy the choral entertainment to the full. I was grateful to God for this proof of the healing power of these immortal laws, because it would better equip me to teach my Sunday School pupils the importance of learning to use the Commandments in their daily application of Christian Science.

At another time, we were forced to make a change of residence. I realized the first step was to let God lead us. In my search for divine guidance I was greatly helped by visiting a Christian Science Reading Room and reading articles appearing in our periodicals. Within a week we had moved into and were settled in a beautiful house in the right location which met all our needs.

I am grateful to be a member of The Mother Church and of a branch church and to serve in the Sunday School. I am grateful for class instruction. For the protection and guidance that Christian Science has brought to me in past years, for the daily proof of God's great love, and for this great love which will continue to unfold throughout eternity, I am indeed grateful.—(Mrs.) Mabel Margaret Newcomer, Richmond, California.
