If you are a child in Sierra Leone who has never seen a candy cane, much less tasted one, where you find yourself the first time to lick one, doesn’t matter at all.
As James traveled back to Freetown, he searched high and low for children
so that he could give them a small treat,
an unexpected gift,
in a tree, on the ground, dusty, muddy, it doesn’t matter
the sheer joy of this strange tasty peppermint stick ..
brightens the day
Thank you to everyone who helped get these candy canes to the kids in Sierra Leone. ….And especially we thank Pat and Carlos for seeing to it that Fr. Bob Haux’s wish to sponsor the children with candy canes this year was carried out. …And to Fr. Bob, you were able to witness all this as it happened in Sierra Leone this year… We know you are watching and we love you!
