"Hi Annie, Saw your jelly bean prayer page. Here is
jellybean poem. Came across it
on the web some time ago and can't remember the source. It
had at the
bottom where I had saved it -- Denise Edwards 1999.
Thanks for your page. Any time someone asks for a web site
to visit I
tell them to visit yours first and go to all your lovely
lady links.
Bless you, Julia Bettencourt Email Address

Red is for the blood He shed.
When we see white, we see His light.
Yellow is radiance, our bright and shining Son.
Purple is for kings; Jesus is the One.
We see life in the color green.
Black is for sin only Jesus can clean.
A great thing to do is make
cellophane carrots and place the jelly beans
inside, typing out the poem on hang tags and placing them on the
carrots.
You will need:
orange cellophane (or any spring
colors will do)
green Easter grass
scotch tape
rubber bands
raffia
poem typed out on hang tags
string (a golden thread works well)
Instructions:
Take 6 1/2 by 6 1/2 pieces of orange
cellophane rolling them up from
one corner to another making a point and elongating it until it
is
"carrot shape". Tape with clear scotch tape along
the side. Fill with
jellybeans but leave a little room for the "carrot
top". Take a clump
(about the size of a golf ball) of green Easter grass and place
in the
open end with most of it hanging out. Take a rubber band
and secure the
grass into place. Garnish with several strands of
raffia tied in a bow
around the rubber band leaving several pieces hanging down.
Tie the poem
on the carrot with string. These are great to put in Easter
baskets or
to give to someone as a witness tool.
