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 Fourth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Four “Colly” Birds
On the Fourth Day of Christmas My True Love Gave to Me Four Colly birds… No, this is not a typo. Originally the song was written to say “Colly Birds”.
Google… “free stock photographs”
Colly meaning black birds. Colly means “black as coal”, in old English, as in “colliery”, which is a coal mine and its connected buildings dated back to 1635 according to Webster’s Dictionary. Not the most attractive representation.
Since the song was written, the word Colly had been changed to Calling Birds as we know it today.
This is one of the best illustration and representation pictures… You can get it at Google.. “free stock photographs”
The four calling birds were meant to represent The Four Gospels: 1) Matthew, 2) Mark, 3) Luke, and 4) John, which proclaim the Good News of God’s reconciliation of the world to Himself in Jesus Christ.
They are typically portrayed as an Angel, Lion, Ox, and an Eagle… not quite sure how they became “Calling Birds”. However I have a feeling it had to do with the memory version, of the song, for the kids.

These gospels are telling us the story of Jesus from His birth through the Virgin Mary to His death.

Jesus was “perfect” and never needed to be punished, however, He took the punishment for the entire world through His crucifixion.
So, after Christmas is over and you have headed back to work or are preparing for the New Year keep this quote in mind…
“There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel’s veins;

and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains”~~ William Cowper
It isn’t just on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that we should be thanking and praising Jesus for all He has done for us through his birth and existence. It should be every day, every minute, and every breath we take as we receive these things from Him who gives us all we need.
Merry Christmas and may the Blessings continue!
See you on the “Fifth Day of Christmas” tomorrow… “Five Golden Rings”.

Religious Quotes
Religious Quotes are buried deep inside our soul. They are actually more than Religious Quotes, more like inspirational bible verses carved from a piece of the persons entity and existence. These Religious Quotes tend to need some sort of translation due to the intense nature behind the story.
Kind of like bible verses …if you will!
What are the characteristics of a true spiritual person?
” Any concern too small to be turned into a prayer is too small to be made into a burden” Author: Cory Ten Boom
Words of spiritual encouragement come from inspired people traveling into the Religious Quotes of outstanding individuals, derived from a list of religious beliefs.
Inspiration and motivation are key factors governing our thoughts and behavior. What’s interesting to us is the idea that different individuals are often inspired by similar ideas (or different aspects of the idea). Some inspiration is based on our values and beliefs but it is general enough to make a great deal of sense in a wider context.
“‘For I know the plans I have for you’, says the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” Author: Bible Jeremiah 29:11
If we share our sources of inspiration then we all benefit…hence, paying forward our Religious Quotes that are binding within our souls.
What a gift to to your fellow human!
“God has put something noble and good into every heart His hand created.” Author: Mark Twain
Being that we are all not perfect between the ears we must have the “mentality” to help carry the burden of others, as a priority, in order to keep a balance in society.
We enter into this world selfish. In order to leave a lasting impression on humanity we must give our lives away as servant to a divine order and “each other”.
“Give to others as you would want them to give to you”. Hey, give them some Religious Quotes. Or, [get them for yourself and learn how to write them].
I know you have a beautiful story to share
Get inspired to be inspiring. Author:Coachrj
(remember that a quote is usually worth a thousands)
“God, please now my future see, make it clear where I should be. Open windows, close the doors, not my will, my God, but Yours.” Remember…all quotes are spiritually oriented through the souls of Gods creation…hence, Religious Quotes! “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.”
Read the “religious quote” from below…where is your focus? Is your light shining? Do you have any Religious Quotes within you?
Blessings
*Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things. The Bible (New International Version) Philippians Chapter 4: Verse 8
