SYMBOLS.......

 
 
Interestingly enough our church lesson was about symbols.......In Revelations 1-2-3 they talk about 7 stars, 7 candles  and keys.....and how that all fits into our lives.  As Christmas approaches we have so many symbols and traditions that are so interesting;......Take the Candy Cane for instance......The Candy Cane begins with a stick of white candy.  The white symbolizes the purity of the Christmas season.  Red  stripes are for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we may have eternal life.  The candy is formed into a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus. It can also represent the staff of the Good shepherd.  Its hard consistency represents the Solid Rock, the foundation of the church, and the firmness of the promises of God........each day I google another one and it is so interesting.
Just got a storm warning on my cell phone......how did it know?
