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 SEE
2. TO TASTE
3. TO TOUCH
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.
This is a gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot
be bought...but are gifts from above. (James 1:17)
