Ricky Raccoon, his mom and dad are gentle, loving, and friendly animals that live at Beaver Bridge Park in North America. Ricky Raccoon’s best friends are the Beaver family. Everyone loves the Beavers because they worked hard day and night to keep the ponds full of water, the grass land green, and ground soil rich and fertile for all the animals, and people. Poplar Beaver and Ricky Raccoon were laughing and playing in the beaver’s yard happy, after the good lunch Mother Beaver fed them.
I have not had anything to eat, and I’m hungry screeched Reallamean Woodpecker from the tree top. What are you going to do about that, Mr. popular with everybody beaver?” Reallamean knew the other animals did not like the songs she sang with her beck. She did not understand why her songs were not popular like the other birds in Beaver Bridge Park. "My name is poplar" said the beaver. MS. Squirrel was feeling sad because of the way she had talked to her two neighbors. “I need to say I am sorry for making such an ugly smugly remark to you Ricky Raccoon and Poplar Beaver.”
The animals of Beaver Bridge Park sat down, reasoned and talked with each other. Dad and Mother Beaver made an agreement with Ms. Squirrel and Reallamean Woodpecker. Ms. Squirrel was happy, she and Reallamean would not have to move again. Ricky Raccoon told Ms. Squirrel and Reallamean that God loved them all so much, that he sent Jesus to earth, so that every day the animal creation of Beaver Bridge Park can love each other. Reallamean’s heart suddenly changed and she thought about the animals differently now. Because she always knew that she was making a joyful noise with her continuous tree pecking, but she had never been told that God loved her loud noise pecking song too.
Reallamean said, “I will praise God every day, because I have reached the peak that all singing birds do in popularity. I sing because I am happy that I am popular with God”. God has set my heart free. Every day she sang: Psalm 100 King James Version (KJV) 100 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Reallamean’s name changed to Really-nice, because Ricky Raccoon helped her gather food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Woodpecker was no longer dissatisfied, feeling no one loved her, or hungry. Really-nice changed her pecking noisy clamor to a Real nice soft musical melody.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to serve with you, teaching family value in accordance to God’s vision and plan for successful living. I attended a course with the “Indiana Academy for Parent Leadership Northern Region”, that inspired me to give knowledge to other parents. I have worked with charity, non-profit organizations, and churches as a speaker, teaching motivation and Christian parenting methods. I teach how to build solid lasting relationships early in the life of the family unit, this is valuable and vital to the future journey of all family members. The child of God you teach, and the children of God you will reach, in your sphere of influence (adult or adolescent) through this book's story and bible studies will transform mind and heart. Developing how to apply personality traits, building love, encouragement, peace, forgiveness, and fruits of the Spirit; to share with their communities.
Beaver Bridge teaches: do not focus on what the world thinks of you. What is most important is what do you think about yourself. How will the love for yourself, honor and mirror the truth that God loves every individual person and every creation? God’s opinion is the viewpoint that is vitally important, and should be shared with the world.
Dad, Mom, Teachers, Mentors, God has designed you to be a Drum Major for right, and a corrective coach against wrong. Many parents love their children and need ideas on how to express that love and fortify the growth of their children. But more than nurturing their children, parents seek plans and ideas for their own maturing growth and understanding. As a young divorced parent, I had no strategies or ideas of my own on how to daily be a good mom. Trial and error experiences taught me that I needed to surround myself with people, that surrounded themselves with opportunities, to become educated, and expand their possibilities, while supporting and praying together. My biblical concepts and relationship with God was a proper and extremely valuable foundation reference point for every situation and question in my immediate family. My Son and I pray this book will stop peer pressure and violent bullying in our schools, families, and communities.
