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.
