Short but sweet...
...which is what this entry will be, but worth sharing with the world as it shows conclusively the healing power of Christian Science. Just emailed a friend about a quick healing I had a few days ago, which involved a painful ankle. We were walking our dogs in a 16-acre park near our town's library, with trails that climb upward for 3 levels, and midway I thought, can I complete this hike or not? Almost immediately a truth that I had read earlier by Samuel Greenwood, a Christian Science practitioner and teacher who lived in Victoria, British Colombia came strongly: "You are an idea in Mind, with no other source or consciousness." I reasoned, since God is not thinking this, it is not in my consciousness. And voila, the pain left -- just like that.
I could never be grateful enough for all that Mary Baker Eddy brings out in her writings about the One Mind, God; that this is our Mind and always has been. So many powerful statements from especially Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures could be cited here but it would take me all day, and I don't have time right now.
But I will end with a testimony emailed back to me from a Christian Scientist friend down in Georgia. He wrote: "One time I had some pain in my leg, it appeared to be infected. I remembered what Mrs. Eddy said about 'If disease moves, mind, not matter, moves it; therefore be sure that you move it off.' So I mentally moved the pain off. And it left me ! I have always related that statement to Jesus moving the insanity belief from the man to the pigs.
Can't push me around, no sir!!"
