On the 8th Day of Christmas - sack of grain

Last night's ornament: sack of grain. I told the story of Joseph and his brothers, how he was sold and then years later he met them again and forgave them, and gave them grain so they could have food during the famine. Grain as we know is made into flour that is then made into bread. Jesus is the bread of life. Just like Jesus, Joseph gave bread to his hungry brothers to sustain their life. When we look at the sack of grain, we can remember that Jesus gave us the gift of eternal life.
