I was on assignment at an IBM lab at the time. One morning I felt quite ill when I woke. I supposed that perhaps a hearty breakfast would elevate the ill feeling, as it might have been hunger, but that was to no avail. Nothing was resolved and the condition grew gradually worse. During the day, while working in the lab, the condition became so bad that I had to sit down from time to time to address the condition, as I was used to do according to the principles of Christian Science. That too, did not resolve the situation. At lunch time I felt no desire for foot, and less so at dinner time. That evening I returned to my hotel room, right after work, and took my books out to read the week's Christian Science Bible lesson. I read the entire lesson from start to finish, as I normally did. By the time I was finished an hour later, I realized with amazement that I didn't feel ill anymore. I felt perfectly well, nor could I recollect when the healing had actually occurred. Overjoyed by this liberation I went out for supper, probably with dessert that made up for the missed lunch. I don't remember the fine details anymore, but I do remember that I felt not the slightest bit ill. To the contrary, I felt great! Also, to the best of my recollection, the condition never re-occurred during all the years that followed. |
