Read: Luke 13:32-35
Meditation: "On the 1st day of Christmas my True Love
gave to me: a Partridge in a pear tree."
What does this mean? First, our true love is God, and God loves us so
much that He sent His Son Jesus to this earth to be born to the virgin
Mary. The partridge will decoy predators to get them away from her
helpless nestlings, just as Jesus came to get in between us and Satan.
He is the one that gave up His life so that we could be saved.
Prayer Starter: Christ on His way to Jerusalem shows His
sadness over all of humanity. His desire is to shelter us, but for many
that does not happen. Lord, help me to be one that will accept Your
shelter. 
Read: Luke 8:21
Meditation: "On the 2nd day of Christmas my True Love gave to
me: Two Turtle doves."
Our true love has given to us the Old and New Testaments. These tell the
story of God's relationship to this world. It bears witness to God's love
and mercy as we read about His interaction with us, His people.
Prayer Starter: Jesus tells us that we are one of His when we hear
God's Word and put it into practice. Lord help me to hear Your Word and be
one that puts it into practice.
Read: 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Meditation: "On the 3rd day of Christmas my True Love gave to
me: Three French Hens."
Our true love gives to us the three theological virtues: faith, hope, and
love. I have also heard some say it is for the Trinity: Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to use the faith, hope, and love You
give me to help others.
Read: Luke 1:1-4
Meditation: "On the 4th day of Christmas my True Love gave to
me: Four Calling Birds."
Our true love gives us the four gospels which proclaim the good news of
Jesus, and how He has reconciled the world to God.
Prayer Starter: Lord I thank You for the gospels which tell me of
Your love for me through Your Son Jesus.
Read: Exodus 2:23
Meditation: "On the 5th day of Christmas my True Love gave to
me: Five Gold Rings."
Our true love has given to us the first five books of the Old Testament. The
books tell the history of humanity's sinful failure and how God responded
with grace to the people of the world.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I know Your love for this world's people is
beyond our understanding. Help me to love others as You have loved
me.
Read: Genesis 1
Meditation:
"On the 6th day of Christmas my True Love gave to me: Six
Geese A-laying."
Our true love tells us of the six days of creation, which shows Him as
the creator of this world and the One who sustains it for us to use.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me to see the world as a precious
gift, and help me to take care of it in a way that benefits all of
humanity.
