On the Sixth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Six Geese A Laying
On the Sixth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Six Geese A Laying…

Welcome back! Just five days ago we celebrated the birth of Christ and I bet many of you are already back into the swing of your normal day and have already forgotten that we are still in celebration!
Actually, every day should be a day to celebrate, however, we often get hung up in our daily routine that we forget to be thankful for all that has been provided to us. I know how guilty I am of this!
Just this morning I was having a “moment” because I focused on all the things that were going wrong rather than all the things in my life that are great.

It is so easy to get caught up in our life’s troubles on a typical day.
I challenge you, and myself, to wake up tomorrow with the feeling that, it “is” Christmas Day and carry with you that magical feeling of appreciation in all you do.

Wake up tomorrow and give thanks to our Lord for this is the day that the Lord has made!!
In our Twelve Days of Christmas song today we will give thanks today for Six Geese A Laying. “This is not referencing six geese laying eggs”!
This is referring to the six days of Creation!
*
The first day: Gen. 1:1-5 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. … And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. … And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
*
The second day: Gen. 1:6-8 And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” And God made the expanse and separated the waters… And it was so.
*
The third day: Gen. 1:9-13 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.”… And the earth brought forth vegetation… plants… and trees.
*
The fourth day: Gen. 1:14-19 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years, and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,”’ and it was so. God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
*
The fifth day: Gen. 1:20-23 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let the birds fly above the earth”… so God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves with which the waters swarm… according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.
*
The sixth day: Gen. 1:24-31 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so… Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… So God created man in his own image…
*
There is absolutely “nothing” to add to this…”you” are here!
See you on the “Seventh Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “Seven Swans A Swimming”
Wishing you a wonderful and blessed day!

On the Fifth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Five Golden Rings
On the Fifth Day of Christmas My True love Gave to Me Five Golden Rings…

God gives us the first Five Books of the Old Testament, known as the Torah or the Pentateuch: 1) Genesis, 2) Exodus, 3) Leviticus, 4) Numbers, and 5) Deuteronomy.
These are the five gold rings.
These first five books of the Old Testament represent the history of mans fall from grace. These books are written by Moses and are his instructions or teachings. The term Torah refers to the entirety of Judaism’s founding legal and ethical religious texts. A Torah scroll refers to writings on parchment in a formal, traditional manner by a specially trained scribe under very strict requirements.

In Luke 24:44 Jesus said:
“These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

See how this ties in with the gift of the Old and New Testament where we need both to see how what is prophesied in the Old is fulfilled in the New?
These Twelve Days of Christmas sure gets deeper and deeper as I learn more and more about this song. I so encourage you to study more about the Twelve Days of Christmas and the meanings behind each of God’s gift.
It is truly amazing to learn about the Bible starting with a song instead of opening the Bible and just reading. It puts it all in perspective how all of God’s gifts are all a part of our daily life. It didn’t start the day “we” were born. It started in the beginning….

Genesis 1:1… God knew on this day His plan.
He even knew someone would write this song!
Mathew 10:30… And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

And with that I will leave you until tomorrow. I pray that in knowing that God does have a plan for your life that you would entrust your life to Him.
See you on the “Sixth Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “Six Geese A Laying”.
Blessings

Twelve Days of Christmas Lyrics/Song with Historical Accuracy
Whenever I think about the Twelve Days of Christmas, I have to be honest, I had never realized it was “Twelve Days of Christmas Lyrics/Song with “HISTORICAL ACCURACY”". I think about the days that I worked as a Student Assistant in Kindergarten.
(Licensed Image source: dno1967)
You see, my son has this old VHS video of Frosty and Christmas. At the end of the movie is the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. During the song there is the silhouette of a ballerina dancing and with each day she moves her body in a way to represent the day of Christmas.
We had such a joy playing it each year and watching the little kids try to keep up to the moves of this ballerina! After practicing this for weeks the class would present their Twelve Days Of Christmas dance to the entire school!
Historical Accuracy
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace”.~~(Isaiah 9: 6)
~~~~~~~
~~For God so loved the world He gave… unto us a Child is born, twelve gifts, to the day of Epiphany for eternity… all wrapped in a swaddling cloth… with no room in the inn.~~
I’ll also admit that I have never taken any thought as to the true meaning behind this song until today. So I did a little research and found what I believe to be true is that this song was written in England as one of the “catechism songs” to help young Catholics learn the basics of their faith. The song was a coded so that the young Catholics could sing the song without fear of imprisonment as it was forbidden for them to sing of their faith.
Another of my findings is that the twelve days of Christmas does not start twelve days before Christmas. In the Western Church these are the twelve days from Christmas Day evening to the beginning of the Epiphany. Epiphany, meaning a Christian holiday on January 6 celebrating the visit of the Magi to the infant Jesus.
You know how many of us have a nativity set that we put out during Christmas and there are the Three Kings? The Magi are the Three Kings or Kings from the East that are said to have visited Jesus after his birth, bearing gifts.
Religious Quote
In Mathew 2:11
(On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh).
Three gifts were mentioned so we typically believe there were only Three Kings but it is not known how many truly came. And, did you know, the Three Kings really didn’t show up until months after the Baby Jesus’ birth.
I wish that I had had the knowledge in my Kindergarten days that I have today regarding this song The Twelve Days of Christmas. I would have loved to have shared some of the true meanings of this song with those kids.

Also, now when I look at our nativity set I won’t only think about Christmas but will also think about the Twelve Days of Christmas. We just had to add this picture for it’s beauty!
(Licensed Image Source: krisdecurtis)
We would now like to break the Twelve Days of Christmas down for the next twelve days, on a daily basis, celebrating every day, giving you the “true meaning” behind such a powerful song! The popular song is no longer seen as simply a nonsense song for children with secular origins.
On the twelfth day (Epiphany) we will put it all together for you, for “Your” enjoyment, to close Christmas for another year, however, keep His light shining to the next. We hope you enjoy the song with “The” new Light. We sure do!
We invite you to visit this Blog everyday to share some of our thoughts and quotes during this time of celebration.
Merry Christmas to you and God Bless.
See you on the “First Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “A Partridge In A Pear Tree”.
