Love Can Build a Bridge

About the Book

I wrote this book based on a dream I had on October 19, 2011. My book I believe is a message to all of Gods children all over the world. God gave us all special gifts for us to use in life. Patience, respect, loyalty, and above all Love. However, it is for us to acknowledge these gifts given to us. It is also for to us to accept these gifts and to learn how to use them properly. I believe the turtles acknowledged the gifts given to them. They practiced having patience by waiting on each other to all arrive. The turtles demonstrated respect for one another by working together and keeping order in place. They showed loyalty by taking turns and making sure all got to safety. Last but not least they used their love for one another as the foundation of their plan. I believe if we all accept these gifts and apply them to our everyday life, we to can build that bridge and overcome the negative obstacles in our life ourselves.
