Grace Garden Preschool

The story of how the candy cane came to be is precious.  My chilldren ask me to tell them about it each year around Christmas.  If you don't know it, read on...

The candy cane had to be special to be a gift for the King of Kings, thought the humble candy maker from Indiana who created this Christmas staple. Not just any piece of candy would do. It had to be hard candy because the church is built on 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, the son of God.  But it had to say more.
White stripes would symbolize the pure nature of Jesus's birth. The red stripes help remind us of the love that God has for us.  It would be a gift of love that would tell His story - the greatest story ever told.

Have a sweet and wonder-filled holiday,
Ms. Kym
