On The Second Day of Christmas~My True Love~Two Turtle Doves

On the Second Day of Christmas My True Love, (which now I know is symbolizing God in this song) gave to me Two Turtle Doves.

I think chocolate!

Of course with yummy caramel and nuts. And now I think of Mr. B. Chocolatier!!!

Okay, I’ll stop and get to the subject! But, “really” these chocolates are to die for!!

In the song that the ballerina dances to she puts one hand behind her back as the tail and the other by her mouth and makes a beak… one of the kids favorite poses.

No pic for that one!!!

However, the true symbolic meaning of the Two Turtle Doves written in this “coded” song is referencing the “Old and the New Testament”.

This is a complete gift from God! One part is not complete without the other.

We must have the Old Testament to understand why things happened in the New Testament. In both testaments God reveals Himself to us and how we are to come to Him through Jesus Christ. And in both testaments we find all we need for eternal life and godly living.

In researching more about the purposes of both Testaments I found these verses…

II Timothy 3:15-17…

15… and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

This song tells us that God gave us His word. What can we “give” during this time of celebration of His birth?

It doesn’t have to cost anything!

It can be a smile to someone who looks down, a hand to an elder, a shoulder to a friend, a kind word to your spouse.

All things we do every second of every day are gifts.

Imagine the possibilities!

Blessings once again…On the Third Day of Christmas… Three French Hens???

I still say God has a sense of humor!
