DAY 7 – DECEMBER 31 -- THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS
On the seventh day of Christmas my TRUE LOVE (GOD) gave to ME … SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMIMG.
MEANING – The ‘SEVEN SWANS A-SWIMMING’ remind us that God gives different skills or talents to each of us, so we can use them to build up the world as well as our local community. Paul calls them ‘gifts of the spirit’, and they are … Faith, Healing, Serving, Teaching, Encouraging, Leading and Helping people in need (Romans 12:6-8).
SOMETHING TO DO TODAY – Which of these gifts do you have? Reflect upon the past year and identify how you used your gifts from God to make your community a better place in which to live.
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
