The magical number 7
By Mama Gänseblümchen
The number 7 is a sacred, magical number. You’ve probably encountered it in various fairy tales. But we also encounter it all the time in reality. There are 7 days of the week, the musical scale has 7 notes, and the rainbow has 7 colors. You’ll surely find more examples.
Let’s play a matching game now. What belongs together?
RAINBOW- and SCALE-bridge
Game: The goal is to correctly assign all tiles. When all 6 compartments are correctly filled, the step takes on its color, sounds its tone, and it’s the next step’s turn until the bridge is completed. Then you can hop over them as many times as you like, and each step will sound its tone.
Instructions: Click on the tile you want to move. It will then have a blue border. Then click on one of the 7 areas to insert the tile there. Alternatively, you can drag the tiles directly to the correct location with the mouse. Made a mistake? - No problem, click the tile again to remove it.
In reality, there are many more colors, sounds, and shapes, but we can’t yet see them all with our eyes, and our ears can’t yet hear them. We are like the flower bud that hasn’t opened yet. So far, we only see what’s enclosed, and just as the bud opens to sunlight and can then perceive the outer world, we must open ourselves to the spiritual light in order to be able to see all of God’s wonders. With much love in our hearts, we get ever closer to God and become more like him, because we are his children, to whom he wants to show all his glory.
Now the time has come when God has come very close to us to lift us into his heaven. Let’s just let him do it and have a little more patience until we can see the really big surprise!!!
