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: |
|
|
|
- Egypt's Great Pyramids
- Taj Mahal
- Grand Canyon
- Panama Canal
- Empire State Building
- St. Peter's Basilica
- 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: |
|
|
|
- to touch
- to taste
- to see
- to hear
| She hesitated a little, and then added |
- to feel
- to laugh!
- 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. |
