Each you we put candy canes on the family Christmas tree. It’s a fun little treat for the kids and a great reward for them.
Well, that is until this year. We keep finding candy canes all over the place and Paulie has been stealing them off of the tree and hoarding them all over the house. In fact, in a 2 year old kind of way, Paul announced to Kristen "look what I’m hiding" and found a whole cache of them hidden in his "secret hiding place."
We know when our little theif is up to no good. He disappears under and table or behind the couch. When you catch him he throws his arms back and hides the candy cane behind his back! It’s cute, but naughty!
There is a spiritual tie to this as well. Don’t we try to hide our "candy canes" from our Heavenly Father in the same way? We know God is omniscient and omnipresent… and yet we try to hide our shame behind our back.
