WELCOME BACK! If you missed verses 1-4, no worries! You can easily catch-up (and that STILL
includes me!!). And…we have catching up
from last week to do too since I did not post any of the challenges during my
week off work. Please look forward to
seeing posts almost daily this week to catch-up! J
We've all heard this song growing
up, but did you know each verse of the song also had a Biblical meaning? 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 6 weeks I will post the traditional verse, and its 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"! (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).
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 fifth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree.
The "five golden rings" refers to the first Five Books of the Old Testament (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy), the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I am STILL behind on my creations, and although I had last week off from work…I found preparing for Thanksgiving at my house kept me from working in the craft room (bummer!!). So…until I am able to catch up and post my creations, enjoy this example that was provided on www.faith-sisters.blogspot.com
