"Which are the real Seven Wonders of the World?"
A group of students was asked to list what they thought were the
present
Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the
following got 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 touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
She hesitated a little, and then added
5. to feel
6. to laugh!
7. and to love
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those
things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous.
A gentle reminder that the most precious things are before you: your
family,
your faith, your love, your good health and your friends.
