THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD
A group of students were 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. God gave them to us.
Buzz: Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect, it just means
you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.
