Sitting here at “Santa’s Christmas Cabins” and sipping on Hot Chocolate listening to Christmas music with the fire snapping and keeping us warm as we look outside the window and see the snow packed all around our office…”Breathtaking!”
I wanted to take the time to share the story of “THE CANDY CANE”…….
A candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would remind people of the true meaning of Christmas…..so he made the candy cane to incorporate several symbols for the birth, ministry and death of Jesus Christ… He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and the firmness of the promises of God.
The candymaker then shaped his cane into the form of a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to the earth as Savior.
Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life………….
Stay tuned for next weeks blog about the “Christmas Tree”….
HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
