It is a pleasure to acknowledge the great benefits which have come to me through Christian Science.

Day 344: From Darkness to Light

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 13:32:00 +0000

697:20-699:7

I know that things which I did and thought last year I would not do or think this year, and am satisfied.

Day 343: Well

695:29-697:19

"You feel well, do you not?" I assured her that I never had felt so well as I had since reaching there. "Well," she said with decision, "your tumor is gone, for God never made it," and her statements were true, for it has never been heard of from that day.

Day 342: Infinite Good is the one Friend

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 13:18:00 +0000

693:10-695:28

I learned that the infinite good is the one Friend upon whom we can call at all times, an all-powerful, ever-present help in every time of trouble; that His children are really governed in peace and harmony by spiritual law, and as the right understanding of it is gained, the other things soon follow, bringing a peace the human concept can never know.

Day 341:

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 13:29:00 +0000

691:17-693:9

I knew then, as I know now, that nothing satisfies but Love. That day began the outward and inward conscious healing,--mental and physical. There never came a doubt! I absolutely knew that Christian Science was and is the truth. Money, friends, materiality, are nothing beside the conscious knowledge of God, man, and the universe.

Day 340: 2 a.m.

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 13:30:00 +0000

688:24-691:16

Two and three o'clock in the morning often found me poring over its pages, which grew more and more sacred to me every day, and the help I received therefrom was wonderful, for which I can find no words to express my gratitude.

2010

Day 339: Healing and Understanding

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 13:29:00 +0000

686:10-688:23

For this, together with the greater and higher blessing of having the spiritual fact of being unfolded to me, I am most grateful.

2010

Day 338: Gratitude

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 13:16:00 +0000

683:28-686:9

far more grateful am I for the spiritual teaching to love, to forgive, to curb my tongue, and cease my criticism.

2010

Day 337: God-given Strength

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 13:11:00 +0000

681:15-683:27

Through reading the textbook I learned that God has given us strength to do all we have to do, and that it is the things we do not have to do (the envying, strife, emulating, vainglorying, and so on) that leave in their wake fatigue and discord.

2010

Day 336:

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Sat, 10 Dec 2011 13:21:00 +0000

679:22-681:14

In my home and at work I find this Science a comfort and source of strength.

2010

Day 335: Changes

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 13:16:00 +0000

677:21-679:21

For fifteen years I had used tobacco, both chewing and smoking; for ten years I had been a victim of the drink habit, sometimes to excess; I was also addicted to profanity. Christian Science removed these appetites.

Fear has also been overcome in many ways.

2010

Day 334: Peace

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 13:27:00 +0000

675:16-677:20

One day, however, the mental conflict was so great I commenced reading in the hope of obtaining peace.

2010

Day 333: Sensation in Matter

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 13:21:00 +0000

673:23-675:15

In Mrs. Eddy's book I came across a great deal of thought that was not readily understood at the first reading, but by continued and careful study, and a good deal of help from my knowledge of chemistry and natural philosophy, I soon shook off the belief of sensation in matter,--the so-called elementary substance.

2010

Day 332: HEALTH AND UNDERSTANDING GAINED

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:15:00 +0000

672:1-673:22

I began to demonstrate over my physical and mental condition, and as soon as the fear and pain began to leave me I felt encouraged to go on.
From the time the healing came into my consciousness, the desire for material remedies left me, because Christian Science at once pointed out the way to get at the cause of discord and disease. All that I had to give up were the false beliefs of mortal mind.
I was not so easily influenced by other people's shortcomings, when I learned that evil has neither personality nor place. I was not so ready to take offence, when I found out the way to work unselfishly for the upbuilding of the Cause.

2010

Day 331: Healed

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 13:31:00 +0000

669:24-671:32

Through reading Science and Health and the illumination which followed, I was healed

2010

Day 330: Persistence

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 01:33:00 +0000

667:19-669:23

There have been some mighty struggles with error, and I have learned that we cannot reach heaven with one long stride or easily drift inside the gate, but that the "asking" and
the "seeking" and the "knocking" must be earnest and persistent.

2010

329: The Word

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 13:50:00 +0000

666:1-667:18

I believe that Science and Health reveals the Word.

2010

Day 328: Healed

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 13:18:00 +0000

664:1-665:30

I had been a Bible student for twenty-eight years, but when I commenced reading Science and Health with the Bible I was healed in less than a week.

2010

Day 327: Gratitude

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 13:23:00 +0000

661:20-663:32

My gratitude is endless and can be best expressed by striving mightily to walk in the path our Leader has so lovingly shown us in Science and Health.
I found out that one Mind is the only medicine, and then I was freed from the suffering.
I am glad to say, I am quite free from all those material laws and go out in all sorts of weather.--

2010

Day 326: Understanding

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 13:17:00 +0000

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.

2010

Day 325: A Loving Parent

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 13:29:00 +0000

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.

2010

Day 324: Testimony is more than Healing

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 13:25:00 +0000

655:27-657:11

It has also overcome a great sense of fear.

2010

Day 323: God in Christian Science

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 13:30:00 +0000

652:24-655:26

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

2010

Day 322:

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 13:32:00 +0000

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.

2010

Day 321: Reading the Book

noreply@blogger.com (Dina) — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 13:26:00 +0000

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.
