Last night on our Jesse tree we studied about Abram. We read in Genesis when God told him to leave his home and travel to a place He would show him. We studied about how God guided Abram and promised him that he would become a great nation and be blessed. We saw that this promise is fulfilled through Christ and making US apart of that great nation of Christians. It is wonderful to read about our heritage of faith!
Afterwards, we studied about the candy cane. We read the candy cane legend. It relates the shape of the candy cane as a shepherd's staff as they were the very first told of the birth of Jesus. Also, upside down the cane makes a "J" for Jesus.The solid red stripe reminds us of the blood Jesus shed on the cross for our sins. While the three small stripes show us Jesus' place in the Trinity. The white stripe helps us to remember the way Christ's blood cleanses our sins white like snow.
We then, took 2 candy canes...the girls had big ones and we had smaller ones. The neat thing is that we got these at the parade...so I didn't have to buy them! Jay hot glued two together to make a pretty heart...to remind us that most of all it is about love. Jesus' love for His Father, God's love for His glory, and His sacrificial love for each of us!
Here is the one that Anli made...isn't it beautiful?
Jay did a very sweet thing...he glued our two canes together...since our lives are one in Christ! What a sweetie!
