Just reading Science and Health out loud healed my wife
/In preparing for this year’s Association, I recalled a time when my wife was healed by just my reading Science and Health out loud.
It was just before our annual Association meeting and my wife was in quite a bit of discomfort, lying in bed and unable to move. She later told me that she was thinking, “How am I going to make it to Association?” She asked me to get her books and read to her from Science and Health.
When my wife asked me, my initial thoughts were:
How can I possibly help? After all, my wife is a Christian Science practitioner. . . and I am not!
What am I going to read?
And of course, the mortal opinion “I am not good enough” was running around in my mind.
So, I opened Science and Health and began to read. After a few pages, I looked over and my wife had fallen asleep peacefully. When she awoke in the morning, she was perfectly fine, 100%. A few days later, we went off to Association Day with joy.
In retrospect, I learned several things about Christian Science from this experience. First of all, respond to the call. Stop the chatter – don’t get bogged down listening to mortal thoughts. AND turn to the books. Let the word of Truth do the healing, just as it did for those 86 individuals in “Fruitage” who were healed by just reading Science and Health.
