Hi Susan. I'm glad your nephew is safely home. Hope this helps. Sue. The babies have a guardian angel and I do believe itÂs you, I was so impressed by everything you do. Beyond the call of duty you showed you really care, we thank our lucky stars when needed you were there. We want to say thank you you really saved the day, our son is now home with us thanks to your kind and caring way. ~Sue Pitchfork~

Look at a CANDY CANE, what do you see? Stripes that are RED like the BLOOD shed for me! WHITE for my Savior, Who's sinless and pure! "J" is for JESUS, My Lord that's for sure! Turn it around And a staff you will see --- Jesus, my SHEPHERD It's just a little Christmas treat, but also (did you know?) It represents our Savior born so long ago. The shape is like a "J" to symbolize His name. The white is for His life, Holy, without blame. And the stripe of red is for His blood so pure and freely given that we might spend eternity with our Lord in heaven. ANOTHER VERSION: A significant symbol of Christmas Is the Simple Candy Cane. It's shape is the crook of the Shepherd One of the first who came. The lively peppermint flavor is The regal gift of spice. The White is Jesus' purity. The Red is sacrifice. The narrow stripes are friendship. And the nearness of his love. Eternal, Sweet Compassion A gift from God above. The Candy Cane reminds us all of how much God cared. And like His Christmas gift to use It's meant to be broken and shared.

I saved that site in Scrapbook; I like the idea of putting something cute or something to think about on a label. Thanks.

Penny, My dad died a few years before my wedding as well and 15 minutes after reading your poem I am still crying. He was my best friend and i miss him dearly. When i married, i chose a church that had this triangle window high up almost in the rafters at the front of the church. No one could understand why i picked this particular church it was small and old, i finally the day of the wedding revealed to my closest family and friends that it was so my daddy could see me nice and clear. I too would love to use this poem in my wedding album. It takes a big heart for a person to share their words, talent and ability so freely. As you can tell everyone thanks u greatly? Do u have any anniversary poems....my mom in law is standing over my shoudler asking me if u do ...she has to come up with something to say at her parents 50th? :) Thanks again
