Birth of Calf Natural and Fast

One morning, I went to the store to buy bread and some eggs. The mother approached me to help the family as her cow was giving birth. The lady told me that they probably needed more people from the village to help in case there was a problem. Her daughter offered me a piece of cloth, which acts as an apron to protect my clothes from getting dirty. I declined, and I told her I would be okay. I was calm. I comforted the lady and I told her it was okay. By this time, I knew God as Life through Christian Science, and that life is eternal. I paused my shopping and walked to the compound, where the cow was.

I kept knowing this wonderful truth about life. I was joined by the man of the house and later the son. We stood by the side of the shed watching without intervening, and within minutes, the cow safely gave birth to a beautiful calf. Nobody touched or assisted the cow in any way. We did not require the help of more neighbors, and yes, it was one of the fastest animal births I’ve ever witnessed. The lady joined us later, having not found more neighbors to assist, and she was definitely surprised. She told me they had lived with the shortage of milk for a long time, and now they need their need was going to be met. I had tea with the family as we watched the mother and calf. There was a great sense of relief, peace, joy, love, and calm. I knew it was a sign of God’s presence again, in the place of anxiety and fear. There was and always is God’s presence. The first need was also met. I learned that God wants us to show up when directed. He is the one who does it all. Without him, we can do nothing. I thank God for Christian Science, for Christ Jesus, Mary Baker Eddy, and all workers then and now. God bless you all.
