Gifts From Nicholas - Jacob Bollig
Special message from the author:
My heart is full of gratitude and humbled you have chosen to read this story. I cannot take full credit for this story, for experiences in my life have influenced it. Without the breath of life which God breathed into us all, I would not have been able to write this.
It is my hope that you find the purpose in your life that you search for. It is my belief that by simply pursuing your purpose then you live in a life of true success.
I am forever humble and grateful for this amazing experience called life. And I am filled with gratitude knowing you are reading this story.
God bless,
Jake Bollig

For my mother and father on earth, whom have supported and believed in me when it would have been easy not to.
To every single living being in this world. We are all connected and each of your movements have had an impact on my life.
And most importantly to God. The living breathing spirit and energy which gives life to us all. My words could never justify your greatness.
The power in sharing...
Share this book with five others. By giving in loving spirit to others you keep the circle of life evolving. I believe whatever you give out in love will return to you ten-fold.
Your kind gestures could set in motion a kindness chain, which could share inspiration with people all over the world.
God bless

He nervously bent over to re-tie the shoelaces on his blue and white converse. He double-knotted for insured safety. He placed the rolled-up cuffs of his blue jeans over his high-tops.
