The Candy Cane, by Funnies.com

"It had to be special to be a gift for the King of Kings",
thought the humble candy maker.  
Not just any piece of candy would do!

It had to be hard candy
because the Church is built on the Solid Rock
 and God's promises are a firm foundation.

It would be formed in the shape of the Good Shepherd's staff..
a "J" that would also stand for the precious name of Jesus.

Its white stripes would symbolize the virgin birth
and sinless nature of Christ.

Its small red stripes would represent
the scourging Jesus suffered on His way to the cross.

Its large red stripe would remind those
with eyes to see and ears to hear
of the blood Jesus shed as payment for our sins.

"It would be a gift of love that would tell His story,
the greatest story ever told."

Here's a candy cane for you!

Have a wonderful holiday season and

God Bless You!
