Blessed be Cary, keeper of care,
green guardian with watchful stare.
In plush and play you whisper true,
“Remember the tablets entrusted to you.”

May your wings shelter, your tail remind,
that health and hope are gently aligned.
Companion of memory, mascot of grace,
carry us onward in every place.

🐉 An Appreciation of Mascots

Mascots are more than soft toys, costumes, or symbols—they are companions of memory, meaning, and encouragement. Cary the green dragon plushie is a perfect example: a whimsical guardian who turns something as routine (and sometimes burdensome) as taking phosphate binders into a moment of care and delight.

✨ Why mascots matter:

• Memory anchors: They transform reminders into rituals. Cary isn’t just a dragon; he’s a gentle nudge toward health and consistency.
• Symbols of belonging: Mascots embody community—whether it’s a sports team, a ministry, or a personal journey, they carry shared identity.
• Emotional support: Their presence softens the edges of responsibility, making tasks less clinical and more human.
• Storytelling companions: Mascots invite narrative. Cary isn’t just plush fabric; he’s part of your story, a character in the ongoing liturgy of daily life.

In ministry and advocacy, mascots can become living metaphors of grace—a bear blessing, a dragon reminding, a dove guiding. They remind us that care and faith are not abstract but embodied in tangible, playful forms.
