 PRAYING HANDS

There are hands that help and comfort,
Hands that plan and teach,
Hands that rest and hands that strive
For a goal just out of reach,
Hands that grasp and hands that give,
Hands that work and play,
Friendly hands and loving hands
That soothes life's cares away.
But praying hands are dearest
In the sight of God above
For in their sweet and earnest clasp
Are reverence and love.
No hands can do an unkind act
Nor cause another care
Nor sin against Our Father's love
When they are clasped in prayer.

Fun poem for "homemade" fudge (use chocolate bar, instead of real fudge)
Quoted for HGTV craft forum
http://boards.hgtv.com/eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/1004031632/m/7291045722/r/9901085032

Tie this poem to a hershy bar with jute or ribbon:

Dashing from the malls
With groceries yet to buy,
Lessons, work and housecleaning,
Life’s so crazy! Why?

Bells on our telephone ring,
The machine will take the call,
We have not time for family or friends,
It drives us up the wall.

How are you? How’s your life?
We really want to know.
Hope you’re ready for Christmas,
Now maybe it will snow.

A day or two ago,
We thought we’d make a treat,
For all our special friends-
A Christmas gift to eat.

Our intentions were top notch,
But our schedules would not budge,
Hence, here’s this year’s edition
Of homemade
Christmas Fudge…

Examples
A ROUND TUIT

Write or type this verse and using a small wooden circle, stiff cardboard, poker chip, etc., with Tuit written on it. Glue both to a card or put into snack bag.

The faucet that leaks,
The hinge that squeaks.
The crack in the door,
The hole in the floor.
You said you'd do it,
Just as soon as you could
get around to it.

Now the round tuit is here,
So my friend never fear,
You'll have all the time to do it,
Since from this day you can't get
away with the excuse,
WHEN I GET A ROUND TUIT.

AND ANOTHER VERSION:

THIS IS A TUIT Guard if with you life, as TUITS are hard to come by, expecially the round ones. This is an indispensable item. It will help you become a more efficient worker. For years we have heard people say, "I'll do it as soon as I get a ROUND TUIT." Now that you have one, you can accomplish all those things you put aside until you got a ROUND TUIT. 

GRINCH TOOTS

Put M&Ms or Jelly Beans in a bag and attach this label:

GRINCH TOOTS
The Grinch went down to Who-ville
And loaded up his sleigh.
He couldn't resist the yummy smells,
And sampled along the way.
His tummy started to rumble,
Then it began to shout.
Just when he thought he might explode,
He blasted these mighty "toots" out.

To his releif, he felt so good,
It helped him with his mood.
He returned to Who-ville kind at heart,

Excerpt quoted from website

GOLFER'S TRANQUILIZERS
Put M&Ms or Jelly Beans in a bag and attach this label or print a small label
and apply to an empty pill  or perscription bottle container

Golfer's Tranquilizers
For relief of distressing symptoms associated with luck opponents and stupid partners, recommended doses:
Ball in rough - 1 green
Bsll in water - 1 purple
Ball in sand trap - 1 yellow
Ball out of bounds - 1 black
Bogey - 2 orange
Double Bogey - 3 red
Arguing Opponent/partner - 1 of each color
Mental confusion - 2 of each color
Really, REALLY mad - eat entire bag!!!

GOLF BALL SEEDS

Put beans in a bag or a seed packet (with hole cut out and covered with cellophane) and add topper:
A vine or two will provide you with enough golf balls so you will never have to hunt for one in the rough again and that is a pretty "fairway" to save time and money
On the back
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:
Choose a smooth section of lawn.
The closer it resembles a green, the higher the quality of the balls produced. Remove a divot of sod using either a 5 or 7 iron. Use your putter to dig a hole about 6 inches deep - this gives new meaning to "puttering around in the yard..." Put the seed into the hole. Place a tall, thin pole on top of the seed as a trellis for the vine. Use a triangular flag to number each pole. If you try to grow over 18 plants at one time, they may not perform up to "par"! If plants are over watered, the balls will be attracted to water hazards.

HARVESTING:
Your first crop should be ready for harvest in "roughly" 18 days. When balls mature, the flag will fall over. Carefully pull the vine out of the ground. Under it, you should find a matched set of high quality golf balls. After running them through a ball washer, they should suit you to a "tee".

FISH SEEDS

Put this topper on a little baggie of goldfish crackers.

Fish Seeds
It's known you like to fish alot,
your line dropped in the water.
But sometimes they aren't biting,
so you can't catch what you oughter!
When these times come, just grab
this pack of ready-to-grow fish seed,
then raise them til they fit the size
your best "fish stories" need!

HUGS sayings
http://members.cox.net/maltshop/hugs.htm

The HUG

No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees.
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable.
It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.
Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorates your happiness.
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!
Your circulation it corrects,
Without unpleasant side effects.
It is, I think, the perfect drug,
May I prescribe, my friend...
The Hug!
(and, of course, fully returnable)

10 Commandments for Good Living

 Ten Commandments for Good Living
1. Speak to People – there is nothing so nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
2. Smile at People – it takes 72 muscles to frown, only 14 to smile.
3. Call People – the sweetest music to anyone’s ears is the sound of his own name.
4. Be friendly – and helpful, if you would have friends, be a friend.
5. Be cordial – speak and act as if everything you do is a genuine pleasure.
6. Be genuinely – interested in people – you can like almost everybody if you try.
7. Be generous with praise – cautious with criticism.
8. Be considerate – with the feelings of others – there are usually three sides to a controversy: yours, the other fellows, and the right side.
9. Be alert to give service – what counts most in life is what we do for others.
10. Add to this – a good sense of humor, a big dose of patience and a dash of humility, and you will be rewarded many-fold.

Poems for Friendship Seeds
Quoted from:
http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/crafts/msg0414034616208.html

Friendship Seeds
Inside this little package
You'll find some friendship seeds.
Plant with love and tend with care
And guard against the weeds.
Friendship seeds are hard to grow
The roots take hold with time.
But the blooms, which are produced
Are the sweetest you will find.
The petals will not fade away
True friendship never dies.
For friends are beautiful flowers
In the garden of your life.

Faith
Faith is as a tiny seed,
Planted deep within the soul;
Nourished by a trust in God,
The seed begins to grow.
Quietly it opens,
Like a fragrant, blooming flower;
Roots reach out to find a home,
Enriched by God's great power.
There so deep within the soul,
Faith becomes a vine;
The roots grow deep within the heart,
Each tendril entertwined.
Then like a tranquil garden,
Filled with sweet perfume;
Faith blooms forth is color,
From every fragrant bloom.
Then as the season's come and go,
And blooms begin to die;
There still is life within the soul,
From the seed of faith inside.

The Seed
One
Little
Thoughtful word
Is all we need,
‘Cause when you have heard
That warm and caring seed
Planted by a smiling friend,
It grows within you, without end.

It's the birthday of the Red White & Blue
I have a special gift for you!

and smoke that goes poof!
Here's your bag of
firecracker poop!
[Use red licorice bites, Hot Tamales, Tic-Tac's, Fire-Ball candy or Jelly Belly's] 

Pumpkin Poop
I started to carve a pumpkin
with my carving knife and scoop
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop!
It looked so cute and funny
Just like a candy treat
So I'm sharing it with you now
Because you are so sweet!
[Use candy corn]

Put this topper on a little baggie of goldfish crackers.

your line dropped in the water.

so you can't catch what you oughter!
When these times come, just grab

then raise them til they fit the size
your best "fish stories" need!

GOLF BALL SEEDS

Place small white colored gum balls in a plastic bag, and attach one of
the following poems:

Golf Ball Seeds
You say you've lost too many balls,
The course is just too tough?
Just plant these little golf ball seeds,
And soon you'll have enough!

Golf Ball Seeds
With balls in the water or lost on the course
This is just what a player needs.
To replenish your stash of golf balls,
Just make use of these Golf Ball Seeds!

Speaking of Word Art - I just love the "Alphabets" available 
on LetteringDelights a.k.a. CreativeDelights

here are a few examples below - they aren't free but sometimes the site will run dollar specials!
and they do offer some free fonts and one "color" alphabet 
when you sign up for their newsletter: http://letteringdelights.com
Here are some examples - these were saved as image files
As each letter is a "graphic"  -these alphabets are NOT Fonts
and their use is compatible only with the Lettering Delights Browser.
available for free from their website.

note: You can copy the individual images from the individual alphabets
into folders on your computers for using graphics individually in your software programs
or in word processing documents or signs, digital scrapbooking, etc.
see this example below, I used various "letter" images from 3 different
Lettering Delights alphabets that I own, to spell the word FUN

Add the following poem to a bag of M&M’s
with a picture of the three wise men

As you hold these candies
In your hand,
And turn them,
You will see.
The M becomes a W,
An E, and then a 3.
They tell the Christmas story,
It's one I'm sure you know.
It took place in a stable.
A long, long, time ago.
The E is for the East,
Where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger,
Where Baby Jesus slept that night.
The 3 is for the Wise men,
Bearing gifts, they say they came.
W is for Worship, Hallelujah, Praise His Name.
So as you eat these candies,
Or share them with a friend.
Remember the meaning of Christmas,
It's a Love story that never ends.
by Pam Ridenour

"Words Women Use!"

    FINE ~ This is the word we use at the end of any argument that we feel we are right about but need to shut you up. NEVER use fine to describe how a woman looks. This will cause you to have one of those arguments.

    FIVE MINUTES ~ This is half an hour. It is equivalent to the five minutes that your football game is going to last before you take out the trash, so I feel that it's an even trade.

    NOTHING ~ If you ask her what is wrong and she says NOTHING, this means something and you should be on your toes. NOTHING is usually used to describe the feeling a woman has of wanting to turn you inside out, upside down, and backwards. "Nothing" usually signifies an argument that will last FIVE MINUTES and end with the word FINE.

    GO AHEAD (with raised eyebrows) ~ This is a dare. One that will result in a woman getting upset over NOTHING and will end with the word FINE.

    GO AHEAD (normal eyebrows) ~ This means "I give up" or "do what you want because I don't care." You will get a raised eyebrow "Go ahead" in just a few minutes, followed by NOTHING and FINE and she will talk to you in about FIVE MINUTES when she cools off.

    LOUD SIGH ~ This is not actually a word, but is still often a verbal statement very misunderstood by men. "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot at that moment and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over NOTHING.

    SOFT SIGH ~ Again, not a word, but a verbal statement. "Soft Sighs" are one of the few things that some men actually understand. She is content. Your best bet is to not move or breathe and she will stay content.

    THAT'S OKAY ~ This is one of the most dangerous statements that a woman can say to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before paying you retributions for whatever it is that you have done. "That's Okay" is often used with the word "Fine" and used in conjunction with a raised eyebrow "Go ahead." At some point in the near future when she has plotted and planned, you are going to be in some mighty big trouble.

    PLEASE DO ~ This is not a statement, it is an offer. A woman is giving you the chance to come up with whatever excuse or reason you have for doing whatever it is that you have done. You have a fair chance to tell the truth, so be careful and you shouldn't get a "That's Okay."

    THANKS ~ A woman is thanking you. Do not faint; just say "you're welcome."

    THANKS A LOT ~ This is much different from "Thanks." A woman will say, "Thanks A Lot" when she is really ticked off at you. It signifies that you have hurt her in some callous way, and will be followed by the "Loud Sigh." Be careful not to ask what is wrong after the "Loud sigh," as she will only tell you "Nothing."

    Print  this out, put on a card or sign for new husbands, or for any man actually
 just to warn them about future arguments they can avoid if remembering all the terminology.
