Hi there. You've found the Christian Science Daily Lift. Today we'll be hearing from Christian

science practitioner Deborah Packer from Canberra, Australia.

One time my sister and I were traveling on the plane back from Bangkok to Sydney and I had my sister on one side and a lady that I didn't know on the other side.

And before we even took off, it became really obvious that the woman next to me was not well.

And I asked after her and she said, I feel so sick, I don't know how I'm going to do this

flight.

And she fidgeted it and she fussed and she just looked beside herself.

So I just sat quietly.

I pretended I was reading my book and I just said to God, what will I know about this?

And thoughts about the real man just flooded in.

And I saw man as being so strong and wise and shiny and bright and perfect.

It just filled me up.

And I mean, not just males, but that includes all of us generically,

the spiritual identity of us all.

And I saw that really clearly, that it just filled me up.

And a bit later on, my sister was in the toilet queue behind this woman and the woman said to her, you know, when I got on this plane, I was so sick,

I thought I might die. She said, and look at me now. She said, I'm perfect. And she sort of bounced

around. She said, go figure. How does that She said, I'm perfect. And she sort of bounced around.

She said, go figure.

How does that happen?

My sister came back and told me what she'd said.

And, you know, I'd forgotten that she was unwell.
