Severe Colon Pain Healed and Joy Found

I want to share with you that in the days before Christmas I started having severe colon pain at night. In the daytime it would get much better, but in the evenings at midnight it was intense again. I knew it was related to the proximity of Christmas and family issues that are brought back to life at this time. I tried to pray about it but without success. In fact the pain was increasing, so I asked the practitioner for help. She told me to think about who my family really was, and to read “The Power of a Right Idea” by Martha Wilcox. So I did, and the pain went away very soon.

Usually at Christmas I feel happy but blue at the same time. It’s a mixed feeling, and I don’t like it. But this Christmas, thanks to the help of the Christ I was able to feel very good, and enjoy a new concept of Christmas closer to its true meaning with the Christ in me. It has been a long time since I felt so good at Christmas. Taking away all that human baggage and beliefs that one should be surrounded by people, noise, and other things on those days, I spent Christmas only with my son and we had peace and much inner joy.

I am also grateful because now I know that these days are an opportunity to pray for others who are apparently alone and without God. For all this I am very grateful to God, to His Christ, and to the help of the dear practitioner. It was wonderful. It was like having a reverse in this Christmas and also in the New Year celebration. At other times I felt that I had to run away from me on these days, but this time it was different. Why run away if we have God and Christ with us, in us. Why, if they are our true happiness. It’s wonderful to start feeling this. Also very helpful were the Unity Watches on those days, and the later ones close to the New Year, and the wonderful teachings of the Roundtables.

I feel very grateful to God for being part of this wonderful Plainfield Church, and for all that I am learning here about how to apply Christian Science. Thanks to Jesus Christ and Mrs Eddy. Thanks for having the Bible, the Science and Health book, and for the weekly lessons that inspire me a lot. I wish you all a year of much spiritual growth and closeness to God.
