93. The Towel:
At first glance, you may look at this kitchen towel and think, “Great, a new towel. My other ones are
getting so stained and worn.” But have you ever stopped to think that for thousands of years the towel
has been used for a variety of reasons?
Think of the mother who wipes the tears of a child to soothe the emotional hurt or uses a towel as a
compress to soothe a physical hurt, the doctor who uses a towel to tend to the wound of a bleeding
patient; the women in her home wiping her hands as she moves from task to task. We can easily see
the athlete or the jogger wiping the perspiration from his brow. Or what about the father and son
cleaning the grease off their hands as they complete their work on an old car.
Perhaps one of the most significant uses of the towel is recorded in the Bible. In John 13 you can read
how Jesus showed love to His disciples by using a towel. “Jesus. . .got up from the meal, took off His
outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around His waist. After that, He poured water into a basin and
began to wash His disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around Him.” John
13:4-6
It’s true that the towel is an everyday item with many uses. But the next time you use a towel,
remember that Jesus used a towel to show that He loved His disciples. He has set an example for us. So
please take this towel, knowing it is given with love, and do works of kindness and of love just as Jesus
did so many years ago.

105. Candy Cane
The Candy Cane at Christmas time means more than just a treat
It is a symbol, full of meaning and not just something sweet
The white stands for purity, the pure love of our elder brother
As He showed the way for us to go, from this life to another
The red is for the blood he shed, to pay the price for sin
That through this life we can repent, and a new life begin
The green makes us think of hope, that we can live each day
A little better than the last, to return to Him some day
During this year’s Christmas season, when I see a candy cane
I’ll think of Christ, and love Him more, He did not die in vain
106. Package of Seeds: May the true meaning of Christmas grow within you like that of a tiny seed planted in
good soil.
107. Christmas Cookies:
Decorated cookies have long been popular gifts at Christmastime. According to legend, this custom
began in a small village, in a humble bakers home.The baker was a hard worker and baked delicious breads. A nearby large bakery, however, cold produce bread faster and cheaper and took away the baker’s business. As a result, the baker barely had enough money to feed his family and when Christmas came could afford no gifts. He loved his family very much and wished that he could give them something; but what could he afford? As his tears fell down on the dough before him, he thought, “That’s it! I’ll bake them each a special cookie!” All that night, he baked cookies and decorated each with a special Christmas design. He made a star, and angel, the baby Jesus, a snowman, bells, a Christmas tree and Santa Claus. He set his cookies on the kitchen table. When his family woke up in the morning, he cried, “Merry Christmas!”
Many years have passed since the baker’s first Christmas cookies, but people all over the world still
enjoy giving decorated cookies as a symbol of Christmas love.
