07-07-07

In just an hour 07-07-07 will be history. The number seven is considered to be a “lucky” number in many cultures and thus three sevens in the number should be extra lucky. No?  Many couples will be sharing their wedding anniversary date and, as luck would have it, one that is easy to remember. Lottery tickets with the triple sevens were bought at such a rate that the split on the money would put little in your pocket. Seven was thought to be the number of perfection or completion and dates back to Biblical times where it took God six days to complete creation and He rested on that seventh day. Three being spiritual – the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and four being earthly – North, South, East, and West and Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. Together 3 + 4 = 7 and represented the merging of the two. Seven shows up numerous times as in Snow White and SEVEN Dwarves, and the SEVEN Wonders of the Ancient World. Coincidence or not?

If you are superstitious….. keep in mind next Friday is the 13th.
