The Healer, a.k.a. The Hem of His Garment

"But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings" (Malachi 4:2) 

The woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment to be healed was in reality touching the tzitzits on His prayer shawl (tallit).  The corners of a Jewish prayer shawl were often called "wings".  The same word used in Numbers 15.38 for "corner" is used in Malachi 4.2 for "wings".  A Jewish man under his tallit could be said to be dwelling in the secret place of the Most HIgh and under His wings! (Psalm 91. 1-4)  What a glorious picture this paints!   Praying under a prayer shawl does indeed make one feel as if it's just "you and G-d"

    It was a fun one...The only thing I don't like is that my white embossing has little pin-sized holes in it. Anybody know how to make the embossing smoother?

    I think the "holes" make it look like cloth weave.
    Very nice card.
