Last March, I was on a short holiday in Spain with my sister and cousins. It was very cold and windy, but the swimming pool looked so good that I rather unwisely decided to swim. 

My sister saw that I was cold and advised me to get out of the water. I went and lay on a sunbed, but I continued to get colder. After a while, I realized that I didn’t know where I was. I had no memory of the past few weeks or even months.

My sister is not a Christian Scientist, but she does know how important it is to me to turn to God for healing. She lovingly took me back to our hotel room. Having lived in a little coastal fishing village for many years, she recognized that I was experiencing symptoms of hypothermia. She warmed me up slowly in a bath and then put me to bed.
