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!
