There isn't a Christmas that goes by when I don't hear the old time 1780 Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Chrismas". It only takes a few notes in before I catch myself singing along without hestiation.
Apparently, somewhere in my childhood I learned the lyrics and they simply pop out of my mouth having been ingrained in my brain. It got me thinking about what other things I've let take hold of my heart concerning the joys of Christmas, that don't really have anything to do with the actual meaning of the holiday for believers in Christ.
I believe the 30 Days of Thanks that we just finished this past November has given us a good awareness of how everyday represents the fullness of Christmas. To give more insight I'm redirecting something a friend shared with me to what the true Twelve Days of Christmas means. Carroll Roberson has put it best in his version of the this classic holiday tune. Take a look.
The Twelve Days of Christmas by - Carroll Roberson
On the first day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: salvation full and free.
On the second day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the third day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: peace in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the fourth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: love for all men, peace in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the fifth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the sixth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the seventh day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the eighth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: a robe and a crown, a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the ninth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: mansions above, a robe and a crown, a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the tenth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: streets of pure gold, mansions above, a robe and a crown, a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the eleventh day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: a thousand tongues to sing,streets of pure gold, mansions above, a robe and a crown, a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
On the twelfth day of Christmas Jesus gave to me: eternity to praise, a thousand tongues to sing, streets of pure gold, mansions above, a robe and a crown, a body glorified, power from on high, joy for my soul, love for all men, peace, in my heart, everlasting life, and salvation full and free.
How can we limit all these precious gifts of Christ to a single day or even a lifetime? We can't. Another thanks is yet to be given for the favored gift that never stops giving. The gift of Christmas, Jesus gave to me ... and all who will believe in Him.
*For those who trust in Jesus Christ, God gives the promise of life here but also the gift of eternal life (in Heaven; a Kingdom that cannot be shaken) as an inheritance of being His child. If you would like to have this gift also, click here to learn more.
Until next time, favored Christmas blessings!

Join us for thirty days of thanks, as we enter into God's throne room to show our gratitude for His goodness and blessings through scripture, praise and prayer.
Day 30:
Heavenly Father, Thank You for the precious gift of life - physically, spiritually and eternally. Your love is so great that You didn't want to lose me forever due to sin.
One day You sent Your Only Begotten Son to earth as a baby, who would grow to a man and one day give His life so I might live. He took on all sin and sicknesses on His body, dying a horrific death.
Yet Your power is so great, even death could not hold Jesus in the grave. He rose from the dead and is alive with You, holding a place for me in Heaven.
Thank You Jesus for coming to earth with the sole purpose of bringing me back to God through salvation. What greater love can there be?
You came to earth and gave Your life for me so that I could live a full life in abundant blessings and Daily Favor. Help me not to merely endure life, but to fully enjoy the life Jesus died for me to have.
I love You Lord. All thanksgiving, blessings, praise and power be to You my God. Forever will I lift up and glorify Your Holy name!

Continue to shine Your face on us with favor so that Your ways will be spread throughout the earth, and all nations would come to the saving knowledge of Christ.

Day 28:
Heavenly Father, There are so many things I can thank You for Lord, but I especially want to give thanks for the memories You have given me. Memories of past successes and disappointments, for which I would not recall Your mighty works.
I am thankful for photographs that remind me of special things and people that came into my life. Memories with family, friends, co-workers, students, church family, pets and mostly life with my beloved husband.
Photos fade, relationships change, possessions are lost, but You God, never change. Thank You for making me memoriable in Your eyes; I love You for that.
