There are so many to choose from, selecting a few favorties probably isn't fair to all the others! 

First, let me say that I initially wasn't going to participate in the benefit.  I didn't want to just give to get something in return.  But then I read little Noah's story and wanted to give.  My own Ds had to drink Neocate for a time as a baby/toddler and I can surely relate to the costs of that alone even if the rest of what the Estes family is going through is more than I can imagine.  So I gave.  I even gave a little more so I got a peek at the extra special thank you items as well.  My favorite from the extras are the 11 science experiment e-books.  Hopefully when my DS is a bit older he and his father can go through all 11 together and make some great memories. 

Now from the first set of thank yous- my favorite so far is the set of ancient maps.  I am using the Bible in 90 Days program (though it's going to take more than 90 days!) right now and as I was reading through Genesis last night with DH, I thought how helpful it would be to have some maps of the areas being discussed.  Well, now I have them!  I look forward to using these pages as I continue our readings each night. 

So anyway, those are my favorites.  As I mentioned, there are many other resources and on a wide variety of topics from math to cooking.  If you feel in your heart the desire to give, do so and know that you'll have a nice little pick me up as you select your own favorites from the downloads later.    Remember though, the benefit ends July 13th!
