We hope that your day has been filled with joy. The kind of joy that only God can give.

If you are having any kind of struggle today we just encourage you to look up and give it to the Lord. When I do this I always take a big deep breath and for me this releases all my burdens unto Him and joy is given.

As part of this Christmas season we would like to celebrate by sharing our thoughts and findings in relation to the song The Twelve Days of Christmas.

The first verse of the song is ‘my true love’’ ‘gave to me’ “A Partridge in a Pear Tree”.

My true love does not mean a worldly love. My true love is God. God gave to me is meant to be anyone that has accepted Christ as their Lord. The partridge represents Christ. Christ is represented as a mother partridge that would die for her children.

A Pear Tree is the symbol of the fall of the human race through the sin of Adam and Eve. It is also the symbol of its redemption by Jesus Christ on the tree of the Cross.

A perfect verse to visualize that Christ would do anything to protect His people is…

Luke 13:34…

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing”!

“The virgin will be with Child and give birth to a Son, and they will call him Immanuel”- which means “God with us”.~~Matthew 1:23

It is never too late to be willing to ask for Christ’s protection and love. Remember this is the first gift that God has given on this first day of Christmas.

I don’t know about you but I will never sing the song again without remembering that!

Please share your thoughts with us. It has been a lot of fun learning about the history of this song and we look forward to celebrating the Second Day.

Merry Christmas and may the Blessings continue!

See you on the “Second Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “Two Turtle Doves”.
