Someone <br /><br />during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics. <br /><br />It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning <br /><br />plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each <br /><br />element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality <br /><br />which the children could remember. <br /><br />-The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. <br /><br />-Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments. <br /><br />-Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. <br /><br />-The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. <br /><br />-The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. <br /><br />-The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. <br /><br />-Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit--Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. <br /><br />-The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. <br /><br />-Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit--Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control. <br /><br />-The ten lords a-leaping were the ten commandments. <br /><br />-The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. <br /><br />-The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles' Creed. <br /><br />So there is your history for today. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening and now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol...so pass it on if you wish.'papernclayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676169418463469525noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350262606956443617.post-32091914064357429182009-12-01T18:28:00.001-08:002009-12-01T18:30:15.891-08:00new for Christmas<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SxXRMB0LrvI/AAAAAAAABq4/k14MrSdw9Rg/s1600/100_3324.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer;

She didn't mention anything about the reason for her interest beyond her curiosity about the process of refining Silver. <br /><br />As she watched the silversmith, he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat up. He explained that in refining silver, one needed to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impurities. <br /><br />The woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spot; then she thought again about the verse that says: 'He sits as a refiner and purifier of silver.' <br /><br />She asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit there in front of the fire the whole time. <br /><br />The man answered that yes, he not only had to sit there holding the silver, but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. <br /><br />The woman was silent for a moment. Then she asked the silversmith, 'How do you know when the silver is fully refined?'<br /><br />He smiled at her and answered, 'Oh, that's easy -- when I see my image in it.' <br /><br />If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has his eye on you and will keep watching you until He sees His image in you. <br /><br />Pass this on right now. This very moment, someone needs to know that God is watching over them.papernclayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676169418463469525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350262606956443617.post-18587665342615288442009-09-23T13:50:00.000-07:002009-09-23T13:54:06.543-07:00Back to school<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SrqK5e782II/AAAAAAAABmo/D0FHwQAPhiU/s1600-h/100_2614.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 337px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SrqK5e782II/AAAAAAAABmo/D0FHwQAPhiU/s400/100_2614.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384769024636541058" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SrqK4wKDynI/AAAAAAAABmg/A3E9aJBOROk/s1600-h/100_2610.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 360px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SrqK4wKDynI/AAAAAAAABmg/A3E9aJBOROk/s400/100_2610.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384769012079250034" /></a><br />The Creative Glass Guild of Etsy's having a back to school challenge.

Never would have thought it !!!<br /> <br />I have a friend who is a receptionist in a church in a high risk area<br />who was concerned about someone coming into the office on Monday to<br />rob them when they were counting the collection. She asked the local<br />police department about using pepper spray and they recommended to her<br />that she get a can of wasp spray instead. The wasp spray, they told<br />her, can shoot up to twenty feet away and is a lot more accurate,<br />while with the pepper spray they have to get too close to you and<br />could overpower you. The wasp spray temporarily blinds an attacker<br />until they get to the hospital for an antidote. She keeps a can on<br />her desk in the office and it doesn't attract attention from<br />people like a can of pepper spray would. She also keeps one nearby<br />at home for home protection. You could also keep it in your car<br />and it's perfectly legal. Thought this was interesting and might be of<br />use....papernclayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676169418463469525noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350262606956443617.post-910470156423863402009-09-09T18:37:00.000-07:002009-09-09T18:42:08.588-07:00My new craft room<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZV9i4PVI/AAAAAAAABlw/7Q5tzJ9_vWQ/s1600-h/100_2575.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZV9i4PVI/AAAAAAAABlw/7Q5tzJ9_vWQ/s400/100_2575.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379647988727037266" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZVfOMtFI/AAAAAAAABlo/6szSuOfNiws/s1600-h/100_2577.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 357px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZVfOMtFI/AAAAAAAABlo/6szSuOfNiws/s400/100_2577.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379647980587234386" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZVCqrubI/AAAAAAAABlg/JK38JotIWRA/s1600-h/100_2580.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZVCqrubI/AAAAAAAABlg/JK38JotIWRA/s400/100_2580.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379647972922079666" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZUgjq6OI/AAAAAAAABlY/ErCp-khwpvM/s1600-h/100_2576.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 279px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZUgjq6OI/AAAAAAAABlY/ErCp-khwpvM/s400/100_2576.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379647963765860578" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZUW5XDbI/AAAAAAAABlQ/W234WBKmIgA/s1600-h/100_2579.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 303px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_RZF17vVFqcU/SqhZUW5XDbI/AAAAAAAABlQ/W234WBKmIgA/s400/100_2579.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379647961172479410" /></a><br />I'm working on decorating it. I've begun the chairs. I bought this wonderful batik fabric at the fabric store- thinking it'll look good with the jungle animals left over from my son's room-used to be his bedroom. I'm working on how to paint the top backrest. It's a great canvas for something special- any ideas? checkerboard? has to blend with the border in the room...hmmmmpapernclayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12676169418463469525noreply@blogger.com3
