The 7 Wonders of the World

A group of Geography students studied the Seven Wonders
of the World. At the end of that section, the students were asked to list
what they considered to be Seven Wonders of
the Modern 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.

Gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, 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 run
  6. to laugh
  7. and to love

It is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and
refer to them as "wonders" while we overlook all God has
done, regarding them as merely "ordinary."

May you be reminded today of those things which are truly wondrous.
