Faith of a Child
May 7, 2010
by Gary W. Bernstein
My story begins on the streets of Colombia at the tender age of 2 years or younger. I'm alone and abandoned and sick with the measles. I'm brought to the United States by my wonderful adoptive parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Bernstein. I'm raised to be a well behaved young man inRandolph, New Jersey. My adoptive father died when I was only 11 years old. He was a great man and I truly miss him even today.
As my family moved down to Florida in 1993, I began middle school and had a tough time. I had difficulty with the transition from a ritzy type area of New Jersey to an area of Orlando that was dominated by a Spanish culture in school. I did not fit in well and was mainly hurt by all this. In high school, I suffered from the first of my three nervous breakdowns that I have experienced in my life.
Now I'm 29, married to my beautiful wife Amanda and have a lovely daughter named Kimmy. Amanda and I have been married for over 6 years and have had our own struggles and successes.
It is God though, that has been in my life from the beginning. I believe and have believed all my life this very statement: FAITH OF A CHILD IS ALL YOU NEED. God has taken care of me ever since being a little boy in Colombia. He willl definitely take care of me as an adult. He'll do the same for anyone else in the world, I just know it!
Thanks for letting me share this once again.
In all love and blessing,
Gary Bernstein
