The 12 Days of Christmas Faithbooking Challenge #2





The 12 Days of Christmas Faithbooking Challenge #2

WELCOME BACK!  So yesterday was a crazy day and I was not able to get verse 2 of the 12 Days of Christmas posted until now…sorry for the delay!  If you missed verse one, no worries!  You can easily catch-up. 

We've all heard this song growing up, but I never realized that each verse of the song also had a Biblical meaning (As a reminder, I found this information online at www.faith-sisters.blogspot.com and immediately knew it was the perfect accompaniment to the 6 week Christmas Experience study).  So, over the next few weeks, we will be exploring the Biblical meanings of each verse of the song.  You can do your craft of choice, journal, scrapbook….whatever you want to show what the verse and meaning means to you.  Each Sunday and Thursday for the next 6 weeks I will post the traditional verse, and it's Biblical meaning. After the 6 weeks is over, you should have a beautiful reminder that you can share with your family and friends as to what the Biblical meanings are for "The 12 Days of Christmas"!

Although participation in the 12 Days of Christmas Faithbooking Challenge isn’t necessary to be included the Expressions of Faith small group, I hope you will incorporate it somehow (crafting, journaling, scrapbooking, etc).  In a sense, it will become your testimonial of faith that will be a keepsake you will enjoy reflecting on often and sharing with others.

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.

The two turtle doves refers to the Old and New Testaments - the great gift we have gotten from God. We all have our favorite scriptures, so feel free to include it and why it is your favorite!

Here's a scripture that I really think says all about the Old and New Testament:

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness
2 Timothy 3:16
I will post my interpretation as soon as I have it done, until then; enjoy this 2-page example that was provided on www.faith-sisters.blogspot.com
