The Seven Wonders of the World
A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present
day:
"Seven Wonders of the World."
Though there were
some disagreements, the following received 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 one student had not finished 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 hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love.
The room was so
quiet you could have heard a pin drop.
The things we
overlook as simple and ordinary as well as
what we take
for granted are truly wondrous!
A gentle reminder to all of us -
The most precious
things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
"Each day
comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons…
