The melted sugar is hot.  Mr. To forms it into a ball.  He stretches it.  He blows air into it.  He shapes it into a lion.

What sugar treats do you make at Christmas?

Pray: Thank God for the skills He gives each person. He helps people make food tasty and beautiful.

Louis To is a sugar artist in Hong Kong. His job is an old art form. Many children in Hong Kong and China liked to make and eat candy sculptures about 50 years ago. Now few people make this art. Many of the creatures Mr. To creates are from ancient Chinese stories. Modern sugar artists often use molds to shape candy. Mr. To uses his hands and scissors. He takes great care to make his treats lovely.

“Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them.” (Romans 12:6)
