Day 326: Understanding

659:28-661:19

I am perfectly well. To say that I am grateful to God for all this does not express my feelings. The physical healing was wonderful, but the understanding given me of God, and the ability to help others outweigh all else. I also love our dear Leader.

My one aim now is to live Christian Science, not in words only, but in deeds; loving God more and my neighbor as myself, and following meekly and obediently all our Leader's teachings. Words cannot express my gratitude to Mrs. Eddy for Christian Science.

Day 325: A Loving Parent

657:12-659:27

since I have learned that [God] is a loving Father, who gives only good, I regret that I ever charged Him with my affliction

I began to read Science and Health, and shall never forget my joy at finding that I could love and trust God.

Day 324: Testimony is more than Healing

655:27-657:11

It has also overcome a great sense of fear.

Day 323: God in Christian Science

652:24-655:26

Many proofs of the healing power of Truth and of His protecting care throng my thoughts.

Day 322:

650:28-652:23

When the tea bell rang I closed the book and I shall never forget my perception of the new heaven and the new earth,--everything in nature that I could see seemed to have been washed and made clean. The flowers that I have always loved so much, and that from childhood had told me such sweet stories, now spoke to me of the All-in-all, the hearts of my friends seemed kinder,—I had touched the hem of the garment of healing.

Day 321: Reading the Book

648:13-650:27

I sent for the book, Science and Health, and commenced to read it out of curiosity, not thinking or knowing that I could be helped by the reading, but thinking I must still take medicine and that I must also have treatment by a Scientist. I, however, dropped my medicine and read for three days; then a light began to shine in the darkness. I was healed of the trouble and have never had to take medicine since.

In a few weeks the reading of that book had accomplished what materia medica had failed to accomplish in ten years.

Day 320:

646:15-648:12

Often the changing of a single word in a sentence makes the scientific thought not only more lucid to him who is familiar with the book, but also to those just coming into the blessed light.

Day 319: A Rest

643:28-646:14

After I had read Mrs. Eddy's work, Science and Health, a few days, I found that my ailments had disappeared, and a rest had come to me which I had never before known.

Day 318: I was Healed

641:15-643:27

As I read on, everything became clearer to me, and I felt that I was healed.

Day 317: Light that never knows Darkness

639:18-641:14

Thanks to a friend who took me in this hopeless, discouraged condition and led me to the light that never knows darkness, I got a copy of Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy and was healed in a short time by reading this work.

Day 316: Science and Health Healed

637:14-639:17

When I began with Science and Health, I read the chapter on "Prayer" first, and at that time did not suppose it possible for me to remember anything I read, but felt a sweet sense of God's protection and power, and a hope that I should at last find Him to be what I so much needed,--a present help in time of trouble. Before that chapter on "Prayer" was finished, my daughter was downstairs eating three meals a day, and daily growing stronger. Before I had finished reading the textbook she was well, but never having heard that the reading of Science and Health healed any one, it was several months before I gave God the glory.

Day 315: The Understanding of God

635:18-637:13

We have seen croup, measles, fever, and various other children's complaints, so-called, disappear like dew before the morning sun, through the application of Christian Science,--the understanding of God as ever-present and omnipotent. It has been proven to me without a doubt that God is a very present help in trouble, and what a blessed help this wonderful truth is in the training of our children, and how quickly the child grasps it.

Day 314: Practical Application

633:16-635:17

Every thought of prejudice immediately vanished before the proofs that Christian Science is indeed the elucidation and practical application of Jesus' teachings, which are demonstrable truth, "The same yesterday, and to-day, and forever.”

Day 313: Working on Gratitude Today

630:28-633:15

For all this I am endeavoring to be thankful to God and to our faithful Leader, Mrs. Eddy, whose pure and undefiled life enabled her to discover this precious truth for the benefit of all mankind.

Day 312: Spiritual Insight

628:27-630:27

I was tired of trying to find anything satisfactory in religious belief, for it seemed as if God either could not or would not bring into harmony the terrible conditions existing in human society.

Here is where Christian Science found me.

Day 311: I Kept Up my Study

626:8-628:26

The disease with which I had been troubled for years tormented me worse than ever for about six months, as if trying to turn me aside; but I lost all fear of it. I kept up my study of Science and Health and the disease disappeared. I can honestly say that Science and Health was my only healer, and it has been my only teacher.

Day 310: Wait on the Lord

624:17-626:7

I can go all day, from morning till night, upheld by the thought that "they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength."

Day 309: Loving Gratitude

622:20-624:16

About nine years ago I was drawn to Christian Science by a relative whose many afflictions had given place to health and harmony, and whose loving gratitude was reflected in every word and deed. The thought came to me, God indeed healeth all our diseases.

Day 308: Mind is Renewed

620:18-622:19

Many times I have been enabled to turn to God, to know it was His will to help in trouble, and obtained the needed benefit. Catarrh has disappeared; tonsilitis, which very frequently laid me aside from duties in the schoolroom and home, is no longer manifest. When temptation comes (for Christian Science is both preventive and curative), I turn to that wonderful book, Science and Health, and my precious Bible, grown dearer since read in the new light of spiritual understanding, until I know that my mind is renewed, because the action is changed and the inflammation has abated.

Day 307: Gems of Gratitude

618:18-620:17

I have received much help, spiritually and physically, through Christian Science.

I think I never realized what fear meant until I began to try and put into practice my understanding of Christian Science for my children. I have proved, however, many times, that fear can neither help nor hinder in our demonstration of truth.

I shall never forget the feeling of joy and peace that came over me, when I realized how quickly God's word, through Science and Health and the beautiful hymn, had accomplished the healing work.

Day 306: Freed

616:28-618:17

The book has done the work and I am a well man.

Day 305

614:20-616:27

I am very thankful to God for what He has done for me.

Day 304: The Years

612:3-614:19

I had been reading Science and Health several months, before I gave any thought to myself and my numerous complaints. I had never been very strong, and some of my ailments were supposed to be hereditary and chronic, hence I dragged through many tedious years with a belief in medical laws and hereditary laws resting upon me.

Day 303: The Release

609:14-612:2

While I fully appreciate the release from my physical troubles, this pales into insignificance in comparison with the spiritual uplifting Christian Science has brought me.

Day 302: Bondage and Joy

607:6-609:13

Only those who have been held in such bondage and have been liberated by the same means, can know the eager joy of the first perusal of that wonderful book.

Day 301: Broken Arm Healed

605:25-607:5

While the pain was intense, I lay still in the dust, declaring the truth and denying that there could be a break or accident in the realm of divine Love

2010

Tuesday, November 1, 2011

Day 300:

603:20-605:24

The revelation was marvellous and brought a great spiritual awakening. This awakened sense never left me, and one day when walking alone it came to me very suddenly that I was healed, and I walked the faster declaring every step that I was healed.

God never punishes man for doing right, for honest labor, or for deeds of kindness.
