Seventh Day of Christmas


7. On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a Monopoly game:

You can own houses on every street, but you’re still poor without a good wife. Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord (Proverbs 19:14).

By Tom Neven

And from Something Sublime:

The seven swans represent the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit as found in the Bible in Romans 12:6-8. The Bible tells us we all have different gifts according to the grace given us. The seven gifts are: prophesy, serving, teaching, encouragement, giving, leadership and mercy. Romans 12 tells us that, just as the body has many different parts with different functions, so it is with us. We each have a gift that, taken alone, may not seem like much but is vital to the whole. Additionally, we are not to think of ourselves more highly than we should but to give our gifts cheerfully! What is your gift?

You are welcome. I should try to figure out how to make a permanent link with your splendid site. With apologies to Pascal I think I need to get some more string in order to tie
together all the borrowed elements in this poor excuse for a blog.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
