Eleven Pipers Piping by saylem
Hello and Merry Christmas!
Well, I'm not super active on DA anymore. I have not been very creative all year! What a crazy ride of a year!!! 2020 has proven to be the most interesting year in my lifetime thus far. I’m hoping that this Christmas would be a good time to reflect on how merciful God is and how many blessings He always gives us despite trying times. God is so good, and He has been very kind to my family with my Mom’s heart surgery going well. I wanted to say thank you for all the prayers and love from everyone for God saving her and for her healing.
This is also why this card is so late this year…. It’s been a whirlwind month! :D
I’m praying for health and thankful hearts as we enter 2021! 😊

On the eleventh day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Eleven pipers piping!
I have been doing the 12 Days of Christmas series for over a decade now! I’m featuring Roderick Parris again but this time in his military duds from the War of 1812. American was at war with Britain again from June 18, 1812 to February 17, 1815. It was caused by the British Royal Navy’s impressment of American sailors. The young America was also looking to expand its territory in Midwest and Canada. It’s a little-known war and some call it the Second War of Independence. However, it was just more of a stalemate as no one gained or lost territory. The Treaty of Ghent ended the conflict with Britain.
The Eleven Pipers Piping stands for the eleven faithful Apostles to Jesus Christ.
The 11 Faithful Apostles: 1) Simon Peter, 2) Andrew, 3) James, 4) John, 5) Philip, 6) Bartholomew, 7) Matthew, 8) Thomas, 9) James bar Alphaeus, 10) Simon the Zealot, 11) Judas bar James. (Luke 6:14-16).
