“Science is doing this whether we sign on or not - it is unstoppable in its cleansing and healing action.”

I find myself in situations with family members needing help. I can't help praying.  I recall from the 2015 Association address where you asked your grandson if you could pray for him. I will do more of that.  I tend to work on the sidelines, or in the shadows, but it is important that the family know the prayer is going on, and that Christian Science is in the light and that it is given the recognition it is due.

With my family of five children raised in CS, and yet going their own ways, I see seedlings of turning to Truth, of listening, thinking, and seeking a practical understanding of Science in each family.  I'm reminded of the patience of waiting for the early and the latter rains.  The loving-kindness expressed by all to one another, and the respect shown to CS by all family members, is a beautiful demonstration of God-with-us.  It is Science at work, the leaven of Truth.  “Science must go over the whole ground…” (SH, p. 79)  There it is again, that active sense of Science.  “Christian Science removes these beliefs...[and] introduces the harmony of being.” (SH 79:12)  Science is doing this whether we sign on or not - it is unstoppable in its cleansing and healing action.

P.S.  Some good news: — People outside of my family are calling me for practitioner help. :)

At times, I go back to "Recapitulation", from Science and Health, and think, “Did I really get this?” I’m humbled, and then I start again at the beginning on p. 465 with God.
