The Candy Cane



I always knew the candy cane was a symbol that represented a shepherd's crook. Lily came home with this cute note and a candy cane she made at school... some new insight to candy canes:

I hope you enjoy this candy cane. As you take it in your hand, turn it upside down and you will see "J" that reminds us of Jesus who was born on Christmas Day. Turn it back upright and you wIll see the crook that reminds us that He is the Good Shepherd. The stripes are a reminder that He was beaten for us and the red color reminds us how He shed His blood for us on Calvary. The white tells us how He can wash our sins white as snow. As you taste this candy cane be reminded that fellowship with Jesus is ever so sweet.

Cute! Yeah, I'm glad we can live like 400 miles away and never see each other and you never come and visit.

Happy Birthday Ivy!
