Sixth Day of Christmas


6. On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a pocket watch:

This timepiece is carried in a breast pocket, close to the heart, so we can remember to give each other time to grow. It was he who gave...to prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be build up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13).

By Tom Neven

And from Something Sublime:

The six geese represent the six days in which God created the heavens and the earth as described in Genesis, the first book of the Bible. Hexaemeron is a word that signifies the six days of creation. Verse two tells us that "the spirit of God was hovering over the waters". Can't you just imagine Him, hovering in anticipation as He prepared to breathe into being His finest creation? That's exactly what happened next...He spoke...and the heavens and earth, and everything in them, were created. He didn't wave a magic wand or build the world from pieces...He merely spoke. Now that's a powerful Creator! For a commentary on the creation, click here.

“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
