If accurate, it appears you have been regarding it as a beautiful pet. In general, snakes are almost never positive images and usually signal sin, demonic activity, or betrayal (snake in the grass.) That kind of thing. So the green probably is on the negative side--jealousy/envy comes to mind, as in green eyed monster. Those are my thoughts, anyway. Pray about it. The Lord will show you the right answer.

In my dream something small was in house. it was like green in color. my husband said it was harmless n it was in our bedroom. then my mother and sisters and nephew came. My mother has passed away sometime back. I called that green thing and asked it to greet my mother, it did by raising its head. then it also greeted the rest of them. thn i told tht thing to go in and it did. after a few minutes my nephew said i have not seen it. si in the bedroom my husband, nephew and i was thr. i called the thing "hello" and it came out and it was a white cobra. it was a small one. it came and raised it's head to greet my nephew and i got so scared. It was so beautiful madam. My great grandmother ws a worshipper of snakes and she rared cobras. My husband is a Pastor of a church. I am a convert and i believe in Jesus.

I prefer to write balanced reviews that give "both sides" and often go into related issues, so I can be taken as more negative than is intended. I am certainly not "UN" recommending Touch A Life. My philosophy of this sort of ministry being as stated, and not being familiar with Touch A Life, I can only base my opinions on the information in the book. I was asked to review a book, not a ministry, so that was a tangent to begin with, albeit a natural one. The book itself is lovely if a reader doesn't take offense at the things I mentioned and doesn't mind the absence of a "things you can do to help" list. You’re welcome.

On behalf of the Touch A Life Foundation, I would like to explain a little more about our programs and what we do. Our goals are to rescue, educate, provide medical treatment and self-sufficency training to all the children in our programs. A primary goal is to create the future leaders of their respective communities, assist with University Scholarships, and to provide a "hand up", not a "hand out", to these children who have been trafficked and have seen unimaginable horrors in their short lives. We see our work of helping one child at a time as a very personal endeavor, and are therefore committed to them for their lifetimes. By providing the education and life skills training to these children, we see our role as a crucial one in helping end trafficking and empowering Ghanaians to lead their country to a place free of child trafficking. For more information about Touch A Life Foundation, please see our website at www.touchalifekids.org. Thank you for the opportunity to post!
