My longest yet, please bear with me. Thanks for reading.
1.
Jesus is real
2.
Love is a gift that keeps on giving. Giving it away only makes room for more to come in
3.
Forgiveness is the spice of life without which life is void of love and hence meaningless
4.
Thoughts, words and actions can be likened to Father, Son and Holy Spirit; they are never independent of eachother
5.
Taking things personally is very taxing to the soul and slowly robs it of its ability to exude goodness
6.
We are all guilty of theft for when we talk bad about someone behind their backs and gossip we not only steal thier honor but ours as well
7.
God is Love
8.
Never break or burn your bridges, sometimes you have to take a step back in order to move forward
9.
Water is to our bodies as air is to our lungs, all others are just colored liquids that should be taken in with utmost precaution
10.
Exercise and eating the right kinds of food are the only sure way to longevity all other short cuts including diets lead to an early grave
11.
There are no free rides in life, every effort and action is the sacrifice that brings about the miracle of a worthy reaction
12.
Money is definitely not the root of every evil, the lack of love is
13.
Age is an illusion that conditions the mind to expect death but we can all live like trees, with no concept of time
14.
You can tell a man/woman's character by not only listening to what she/he says but by watching the way they act in the midst of uncertainty
15.
A true friend is one who can take your place any given day and gives you the confidence that they would act in a manner that defines you both.
16.
Dreams are real. They are fragments of truth that sometimes can only be revealed in the subconscious state.
17.
The universe is your pantry. You can basically walk down every aisle and pick from every shelf whatever it is you want. But the catch is that whatever you use for the good of another will be to your advantage and whatever you squander or use for selfish purposes will be to your detriment. So choose wisely.
18.
So for all who've said "If I could give you the moon" and never tried have only been limited by their doubts and fears. You can touch the moon, even a star plucked from the sky can be a night light by your head.
19.
Flowers are ornaments for the senses
20.
Children are a blessing
21.
For they (children) are the only way we can begin to fathom God's love for us, for as much as we love them, He has even greater love for us
22.
You can know someone and love them even though you've never met them if you are connected to thesame source.
23.
There is no such thing as change only shifting. Like a prism which projects lights of different colors from different angles, what we see as change is simply a shift in our perceptions based on the shifting nature of people and things.
24.
Lies destroy the world for they take us one step backward away from our return to eden.
25.
Words are never just words they are the fabric of every situation and circumstance, when used they can only do two thing only, they either make or break.
26.
Everything matters
27.
Nothing doesn't exist; merely a word that usually precedes an excuse or a lie
28.
Love is worth fighting for but only one kind; the love of Christ, for out of His love comes all others that are worth fighting for
29.
We are light for eachther's path so make sure yours always shines brightly
30.
I am beautiful and worthy of every goodness there is to behold
*These are the things my spirit revealed to me on the eve of my 30th birthday. These are just 30 of my truths, I'm sure there will be many more to come.

P.S. your pict. shows a FREE-Spirit, to see one is to know one! Having Jesus 1st and knowing he is alive/in heart and soul/etc. is a perfect #1. To picture a mom with many children and knowing Love is abundance and when given, more will still be there to share! I could say more, but don't want this so long! I truly loved this poem! AS you Celebrate another GREAT Year ahead! Since #29, is your truth, you will like ( I believe) my style of writing, I hope you take a peek and end of staying awhile!
STay Positive!!!

Bernice,
One thing I know for sure, you are wise beyond your years. All thirty hold much insight. One of my favorites is #11, "...the miracle of a worthy reaction".
Love you and Happy Birthday,
Auntie Cathy
OK, I am happy that the Universe is my pantry, and that you are happy, and that it is your birthday (I thought that girls stopped at 29! or so I been told)so, it is in order to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Bernice,I want to wish you a Happy Birthday.I must say that I was impress with what you write and I enjoy reading it.Most of all,I learned a lot while reading what you wrote.People should really look at their lives and be able to figure out what they truly want.Also they should look at the mistakes they did and learn from them in terms of becoming a better human being.Life is like a classroom,everyday we learn something about ourselves that we haven't discovered.We also learn about other people and the world around us.Everybody,young and old will never stop learning.Take care of yourself and I truly appreciate you writing this
Bernice...I'd say that you already have reached what most take 60 yrs to figure out!! you are beautiful missy...and just at the beginning of your life...Live it wisely, enjoy every day...and kick butt whenever you can... laugh, be kind...and place value on yourself... and I'd say you are already there!
hugs, lindalaw
