These ae wonderful

Recently I found some tiny Chrismas socks that would be an ideal holder for these. I want to use them for gift tags.

Do you have a verse for the Grandparens survival kit and for the parents ( including both parents of a 1 year old)

I'm thrilld with all you have offered.

I have saved the one for nurse. I intend to make a small card with a clip art nurse on the front, the verse inside, and a plastic little bag with the contents, slipped into the sock. I think it should be cute.

Thanks goodness I saved this from a ong time ago. I'm wanting to make a survival kit and I have the printed part but don"t have a list of what goes with each one. Can you help me? This is the list.

To remind you to pick the good
qualities in everyone, including
yourself.

To remind you to be flexible.
Things might not always go the way
you want, but it can be worked out.

To remind you to heal hurt feelings,
either yours or someone else�s.

To remind you everyone makes
mistakes. That�s okay, we learn
from our errors.

To remind you everyone needs a
hug or a compliment everyday.

To remind you that you are worth a
mint to your family and me.

To remind you to stick with it and
you can accomplish anything

To remind you to list your
blessings everyday

To remind you to take time
to relax and go over
that list of blessings

Is there one for an un-employed Army veteran?
