My Friends of the Forest

About the Book

This book is filled with imaginary characters. I am happy and excited in sharing some of the unexpected actions of stationary and moving things of nature. Every place you look you find that you are surrounded by them. What if they could talk about their concerns or their wisdom? All things that have been placed on our earth have a purpose in our lives, no matter how large or how small. The stories in this book are meant to be amusing and inspiring for the children and the parents who read them. These stories also have an underlying message about the trials and triumphs of life. When we walk through a forest or a park, we seem to locate immediately the large things that stand out. I have always searched for the smallest insignificant part of everything I see in the forest as I feel that it is very important not to overlook as you are a witness to the beginning of life. Some inhabitants in the forest will become giants of the earth while others will remain small, but all are important to life on earth. Even though my name I have not mentioned throughout the stories of this book, I was there looking in and listening to the many conversations and now I am happy to share with the children what I saw and heard.

About the Author

I began writing down my thoughts over twenty years ago. I hope that you will enjoy reading some of the thoughts and stories that are enclosed. My husband and I have ten wonderful grandchildren; a blessing that is overwhelming. The Lord has blessed my family in many loving ways. His presence is always near. The Lord knocked on our heart’s door and gave us an invitation to accept His gift of love and a life with Him forever and ever. I hope that these written words bring a little smile and hope in your life as you read, as it did for me in writing my thoughts down for others to see. When I saw His loving face through His words I accepted Jesus as my Savior, I was given a new life and became a completely different person, not recognizing myself. I came to know the real joy of life.
