DAY 6 – DECEMBER 30 -- THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
On the sixth day of Christmas my TRUE LOVE (GOD) gave to ME … SIX GEESE A-LAYING.
MEANING – The ‘SIX GEESE A-LAYING’ refer to the story of creation in Genesis, chapter one, where God created the universe in ‘six days’ and rested on the seventh. Having times of rest and relaxation mixed with work is still a good model for a balanced life. Actually there are 2 creation stories in the opening chapters of the first book in the Bible, Genesis.
SOMETHING TO DO TODAY – Read Genesis chapters 1 and 2. Note the similarities and differences of the two creation stories, and ask how scientific research disputes or confirms the Genesis stories of how the universe came into being.
The song THE TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS was written in the 16th century to teach the basic tenets of the Christian Faith to children. It is Christianity 101 wrapped in a song. Feel free to forward this to a friend. You can watch the whole 12 days of Christmas grow on my blog. http://mossfromarollingstone.blogspot.com
