Usually TV commercials have no impact on hubby or me whatsoever. However, we were enjoying dinner at Texas Roadhouse when a commercial came on one of the TV’s advertising “Working Hands” – a cream specially designed for rough, dry, chapped, cracked hands. Right away hubby pulled out his phone and ordered some “Working Hands” for me for Christmas!
What a fantastic Christmas present! We didn’t even wrap it up. I started using the hand cream immediately. It is amazing! It really does a miracle job of healing dry, cracked, bleeding hands! I love my “Working Hands” Christmas gift!
Hubby received hand-warmers as his gift from the White Elephant Gift Exchange, at his company Holiday Party. Hubby loves his hand-warmers Christmas gift!
You simply hold each warmer in your hand, and they heat up to warm your cold hands. They are fantastic! They are also rechargeable, so whenever the charge runs out you just plug them in and you’re good to go again!
These two Christmas gifts got me thinking about the gift of “Working Hands” and the gift of “Warm Hands” when it comes to life itself.
* Working hands bake Christmas treats & cookies to share with friends and neighbors!
* Working hands decorate for Christmas so that others can enjoy the festivities of the Holiday Season! (I have been the beneficiary of many of these Working hands this year – and for this beautiful gift I have been deeply grateful!)
* Working hands wrap up Christmas presents with love!
* Working hands carry Christmas boxes to the package store to ship!
* Working hands write messages inside Christmas cards. Working hands took the effort to write my name and address on the envelope. Not only that – working hands took the effort to write a personal message just for me inside the card! Wow – what a special gift!
* Working hands bring fruit and juice and crackers to someone quarantining with Covid.
* Working hands text to say: “I love you” and “I care.”
Working hands are a very special gift!
Not only that … Warm Hands:
* Warm hands reach out in welcome to say: “You have a place here.”
* Warm hands bring healing to a broken heart.
* Warm hands give comfort in an icy cold world.
* Warm hands help to keep our heart warm, so we don’t go cold ourselves.
* Warm hands steady us when we’re shaken or confused.
* Warm hands reach out to offer hope.
* Warm hands don’t push us away when we’re having a bad day.
* Warm hands don’t let go when we make mistakes.
Warm hands are a very special gift!
