In the book Not the Way It’s Supposed to Be: A Breviary of Sin, Christian author Cornelius Plantinga described the biblical concept of shalom:

The webbing together of God, humans, and all creation in justice, fulfillment, and delight is what the Hebrew prophets call shalom. We call it peace but it means far more than mere peace of mind or a cease-fire between enemies. In the Bible, shalom means universal flourishing, wholeness and delight – a rich state of affairs in which natural needs are satisfied and natural gifts fruitfully employed, a state of affairs that inspires joyful wonder as its Creator and Savior opens doors and welcomes the creatures in whom he delights. Shalom, in other words, is the way things ought to be.

COT: Talked about The Little Drummer Boy – he didn’t have anything to bring to Jesus, but he had a drum and he played his heart out for the King.  Don’t ever think you have nothing to offer to the King.

It recalls the story of the widow at the temple. She gives very little compared to the larger tithes being offered by the wealthy Pharisees, but the offering represents all she owns in the world

The Legend of the Candy Cane

A few facts about the candy cane:
-It was originally straight and white. The red stripes were added around 1900.
-Candy Canes have been around for 350 years
-Candy canes were originally invented to help keep children quite during the Christmas Eve services

The main thing I wanted to share about the Candy Cane is how you can use it to share the message of Jesus

o They look like a shepherd’s hook or the letter J for Jesus.
o The white represents the purity of Jesus and the red to symbolize the blood he shed for our sins and the 3 fine lines are for the Holy Trinity.
o The hardness of the candy cane represents the solid foundation we have in Jesus.
o The candy cane was also made to be given as a gift, representing the love of Jesus when he gave us the gift of salvation.

Every HIM received at least 2 candy canes, one for them and one to share and tell the story.
