Healing in the kitchen!

3/12/2018

In preparing dinner one evening, I microwaved a bag of green beans in one of the new microwaveable bags and it was still very hot!  My kitchen scissors had been removed from the place they are kept which caused me to grab a steak knife to use in opening the bag to let out the hot air.  I basically stabbed the hot, swollen bag and in doing so, sliced a finger which was holding the bag on the other side. 

When I realized what had happened and when I first felt the pain, I immediately said, “NO!”  And I kept saying, “No, no, no!” meaning:
  •  No! Pain is not real because the body is only mortal and cannot feel pain as it has no mind or intelligence,
  • No!  I ever could make a mistake like that and cause an accident because I was God’s perfect idea always guided and protected by Him,
  • No! There could not be an accident because in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, we read that “accidents are unknown to God, or immortal Mind . . . “ (p. 424:5-9).  If they’re “unknown” then they can’t be real because “God is All-in-all” (p. 468: 9-11). 
I thought of some more reasons why I could only say “No!” but the pain had stopped immediately after I first began refuting it.  I never looked at it and the cut soon closed and was gone.

    Reading the Wednesday selections

    Here is an easy way to read the text that goes with the citations!
    In a separate browser window, open https://concordexpress.christianscience.com.
    For each citation on this page (e.g. Gen 1:1 or 275:6), copy from this page and paste into the concord express box with the magnifying glass symbol. (Don't use the box at the top with the header about searching JSH-Online.)
    Then click on the magnifying glass symbol, and the text will appear to the left, with the selection highlighted.
