Wishes Do Come True...

Mothers all over the world were remembered yesterday and I too was blessed with a couple of gifts, guaranteed to make me smile...

- One Blueberry bush...(no camera, photo source Google and I only wish I could see that many fruits on it!)
- Amazon movie download...THE BOOK THIEF! I finally saw it and it was everything I hoped it to be!

About the Movie:

Those of you who have already seen it will hopefully agree: 

- Outstanding cinematographic adaptation of a marvelous novel!
- Superb acting performances!  
- One of the best movies portraying WW 2 children!

I love to see such movies again and again and always discover a little something I  missed the previous time!

5 Stars!!

A Giveaway From Baker/Revell In The Spirit Of Christmas!

In the Spirit of Christmas BAKER/REVELL is giving one lucky reader 

of 'Dream a little dream'

'My Favorite Bible'!

A quick description of this beautiful book:

Here is a wonderful way to bring the Bible alive for little ones! 

The most treasured stories of the Bible come alive in My Favorite Bible.

Start your little ones on a life-long love of God's word! This colorful and dynamic gospel-centered Bible storybook guides children through the foundational truths of Scripture. Each story is fully and vividly illustrated and includes a simple narrative with things children ages 4—8 love: repetition, rhythm, and energy, along with a key biblical theme, a key Bible verse, an activity page, and discussion questions.

Adults and children will cherish time together as they grow closer to God.

Holiday Shopping and the Pleasure of Giving

Gift ware with a conscience

It is always a pleasure to hear what all of us TOGETHER can do to make this a better world! Too often we need to be reminded life is not easy for so many and yet reaching out is such little a thing to do.

We CAN make a difference, We CAN help others, We CAN offer HOPE!

Like most of us I see the Holiday Season coming up, shoppes advertising their pretty wares and the mood getting jolly just thinking of what we will share with our loved ones. This Season, please remember not just to give, but give meaningfully by helping others to retain their independence, their pride in providing for their loved ones.

TOGETHER we can do so much!

Please note this posting is reflecting my opinion only and I was not rewarded monetarily. If I helped spreading the word however I feel indeed rewarded!

Bible Review

My family and I have recently been given the opportunity to review the "Word of Promise New Testament" audio bible.

This 20 CD set including 1 DVD brings to life the teachings of Christ and his disciples through the voices of an incredible cast of actors, audio effects and most uplifting music.

A wonderful teaching tool, it is not only entertaining but I guarantee you will want to hear it over and over. This is definitively the best way a parent or Sunday school teacher can use to teach young and old alike what is after all the most beautiful story ever written.

Headed by Jim Caviezel as Jesus and Terence Stamp as the voice of God the 120 international cast of award winning actors will reach out to you as never before. You will never forget it!

Produced by Carl Amari, directed by Jobe Cerny and including the composer Stefano Mainetti incredible music rendition, this is a wonderful gift for anyone!
This family gives it a 5 star rating!
