Bernice says “Being close to God is something you must experience.”  Her first experience of prayer was when she  was ten; raised during the war her mother gave her  50 cents to buy a loaf of bread, on the way she  lost the money after finding  25 cents she  knelt down on the grass and prayed to God, when she  opened her eyes low and behold there was the quarter in front of her. (Faith) Bernice carries that faith with her  “Believe and trust in God knowing God is real even though we cannot see Him” Her favourite passage is Lamentations 3:23

They are new every morning, great is your faithfulness
