We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.
Billy Graham

 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…

http://granny2shoes2.tripod.com/03gaggifts.html
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,
But stayed away from all the food!

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.
