When my friend received her card, she was absolutely “touched” by the whole aspect of it.  She queried me about the seven gems I placed on it and had I placed “seven” for a reason.  I replied:-  “No, I just put them helter-skelter.”  I asked why she asked that question and she told me that the No. 7 is very symbolic.  I’m thinking, now, that I was basically “guided by an angel” as to how many gems and where to place them.  Then, I decided to do some research.  This is what I discovered:-

Symbolic significance of number 7

Scripture is saturated with the Number Seven and it symbolizes completeness or perfection.  You can read more here:-

Here’s another neat site:-  http://www.whats-your-sign.com/spiritual-meaning-of-numbers.html

I think the next time I put gems on my cards, I’m going to check out the significance of the “numbers”. 

Anyway, w/ her very own angel(s) and all of her dear friends supporting her, she feels that she’s in “good hands” throughout this tribulation that she has been dealt.

I’d really appreciate it, if you would please send up some prayers for her.  Thanks so much! J
