Here is our first bi-weekly blog carnival format of 2012! This Christian format appears to be a big favorite of readers as well as authors and we are more than honored to do whatever we can to add to it's usefulness and popularity. Please honor us by reading and enjoying this now bi-weekly blog carnival.
We would like to remind you, now that things have settled down a bit after the holidays, to please visit our friend Dawn Wanser at her site for caretaker's here . Dawn understands all it takes to be an effective caretaker for she is a caretaker and has been one for almost fifteen years now for her two sons. Dawn is the first one to admit that there are several other rewarding/wish granting services for terminal patients but absolutely nothing for caregivers! That's why she has started her new site. Dawn wants all of us to recommend to her those almost angelic persons who are caregiver's. She and her group will check into all the details and then begin to set into motion some way to reward/honor those caregivers. If you have ever known a caregiver, they truly are blessed and almost angelic people, and because they are we should do whatever small step to reward and honor them.
Dawn and I both know that most people don't like to be 'hit-up' for a donation, so Dawn has made it easy for us to help her help others, by purchasing her brand new ebook/audio book titled, 'Journey of a Caregiver'. I personally recommend it to all readers and especially for those who care for others in whatever amount of assistance. So I want to say is for you to go and purchase a copy to assist Dawn but also to awaken something almost magical within you. It is a truly good feeling to know that a simple act can benefit so many! Visit Dawn's site today and purchase your copy of, 'Journey of a Caregiver' here. Dawn is also looking for people to review this new e-book. If you would be interested in doing so, please mention it while at her site.Thanks.

Lastly, before I list your blog carnival, I want to also recommend a really needed product. I can't count the number of times people have asked me how they could keep their children interested and reading the Bible. I came across this new collection of two DVD's called, 'The Show And Tell Bible'! You will be amazed not only at the quality but also the fact that it contains 1500 photo's and five (5) hours of learning! Also 'The Show & Tell Bible' will arouse so much interest that kids ages 3-12 will literally beg to watch it! With a new picture every 8 seconds plus a variety of narrators, these DVDs prove the overwhelming effectiveness of audio-visual teaching. The very best part of this is that it is all that above plus afforadable! Visit here for all the details and to provide one for your family.
Without any further delay here is your first bi-weekly Blog Carnival of Christian Family Information Exchange! Please do enjoy, share with another and re-post were ever you wish! Thank you and may God bless!
