7/7/07

This morning someone told me that today was a holy day. Holy Day? While I understood the mathematical phenomenon of the date today I did not understand how it was a HOLY day. So, I looked it up...

According to Michael Hoggard's "By Divine Order, Scripture Numerics and BibleProphecy" ( http://www.fillthevoid.org/Apologetics/number7MikeHoggard.html), "The number 7 is God's very own number, and is associated with Divine completion and perfection. It becomes apparent to most who read the Scriptures that the number 7 is the most significant number in all of the Scriptures." Who knew?

In any event, besides being my family member's birthday, today carried on as a normal day to me. As I usually do, I opened our front door for some fresh air this morning. And, as usual, once again, someone left a business card offering "landscaping services" - (Ha! What are they trying to tell us?) And, as usual, I got annoyed and was ready to throw the card into the recycle bin. However, it was a very nice card (glossy color copy) so I chose to read it. The business name was "DE LOS SANTOS" landscaping. The backside read "ASK FOR LORENZO" - Whoa!

So what is the "DE LOS SANTOS" translation to english? Basically it translates into "OF THE SAINTS". I felt warm and fuzzy inside and joked with my husband that I "ask for Lorenzo" everyday! I let it go at that. Not long after that we got in the car to run to the local mall. After channel surfing I came across the tail end of one of thee key songs that I seemed to hear over and over again after Lorenzo's passing. Now we all have emotional attachments to certain songs once in a while, but there was something literally electrifying in my soul when I heard this song (Maroon5's "She will be loved" -http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/maroon5/shewillbeloved.html) Note that this song has been out of pop radio rotation for quite sometime. Ahh....confirmed. I knew... there was definitely significance to today afterall.

I love you my dear son.
