A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the present
"Seven Wonders of the World." Though there were some disagreements, the
following received the most votes:
1. Egypt's Great Pyramids
2. Taj Mahal
3. Grand Canyon
4. Panama Canal
5. Empire State Building
6. St. Peter's Basilica
7. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student hadn't
turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble
with her list. The girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up my
mind because there were so many." The teacher said, "Well, tell us what you
have, and maybe we can help." The girl hesitated, then read, "I think the
'Seven Wonders of the World' are:
1. to see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love."
The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we overlook as simple, ordinary & take for granted are truly
wondrous! A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot
be built by hand or bought by man.
