Today is Monday, December 26th, 2005; Karen's Korner #701

Hope that you, your family and friends had a wonderful Christmas yesterday. Even though the big day is past, many family celebrations and the government legal holiday is today! This writing was shared with us last year by Wendi Harrah and we have gotten some varying versions since then. If you haven't seen it, I hope that you enjoy it:
 
The Meaning of the Candy Cane
 
Hard Candy
Reminds us that Jesus is like a 'rock':  strong and dependable.
~ Psalms 31:3
 
Peppermint Flavor
Reminds us of the gift of spices from the wise men.
~ Matthew 2:11
 
    White Candy
Stands for Jesus as the holy, sinless Son of God.
~ I John 1:7
 
Cane
Is like a staff used by shepherds in caring for sheep.
Jesus is our 'Good Shepherd'.

The Letter 'J'
Is the first letter in the name of Jesus, Our Savior.

The Color Red
Reminds us of God's love that sent Jesus;
And of Jesus shedding His blood for us.
~ John 3:16 and Revelation 1:5
 
The Stripes
A large stripe reminds us of the cross on which Jesus died.
Three small red stripes remind us of His suffering--
The crown of thorns; the stripes from the whip on His back;
and the nail wounds in His hands and feet.
~ John 19:1 - 30
