A Candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would help us remember who Christmas is really about.

          So he made a Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated 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 sinless nature of Jesus. Hard candy to symbolize the solid rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God.

          The candymaker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the name of Jesus.

           It also represented the staff of the "Good Shepherd". The candymaker then included red stripes.

          He used three small stripes and a large red stripe to represent the suffering Christ endured at the end of his life. The candy became known as a Candy Cane

What money cannot buy…what argument cannot win…what pride will never find…this is God. 

          Down every valley with its beauty…up every alley with its filth…walks God.

           What he sees may make Him weep but still he marches on.   Seeking the high and mighty whose pride is a stinking thing when it is no longer mere confidence.   

          Seeking the low and the degraded who once as babes knew innocence and then let time be an enemy rather than a friend.

          No one is crossed off of his list because there was a cross.  No one who denies him has taken away the privilege of a changed mind and a dedicated soul. 

          God is patient…oh so patient…and there are many who eventually prove his patience was not a wasted thing.

So thank you forgiving loving father...this prayer we raise to the heavens...for the gift of our Savior Jesus...a Christmas prayer for His birther, His life...His resurrection ant what it means....
