A
group of students were asked to list what they
thought were the Seven Wonders of the World. Though
there was some disagreement the following got
the most votes:
.
1)
Egypt's Pyramids,
2) The Taj
Mahal, 3)
Grand Canyon,
4) Panama
Canal, 5) Empire State
Building, 6) St. Peter's Basilica, 7) the Great Wall
of China.
.
While
counting up the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet
student hadn't turned in his paper yet, so she asked
the child if he was having trouble with his list. The
reply came, "Yes, a little. I can't quite make
up my mind because there are so many." The teacher
said, "Well, tell us what you have and maybe we
can help."
.
He
hesitated, then read, "I think that the Seven Wonders
of the World are: 1) to touch, 2)
to taste, 3)
to see,
4) to hear,
5) to feel, 6) to laugh,
and 7) to love"...
.
The
room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Those things
we overlook as simple and ordinary are truly wonderous
- a gentle reminder that the most precious things in
life cannot be bought.

Hebrews
5 : 12 - 14 - For when
for the
time ye
ought to
be teachers,
ye have
need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are
become such
as have
need of
milk and
not of strong
meat. For
every one
that useth milk
is unskilful
in the word
of righteousness:
for he is a babe. But strong
meat belongeth to them that are
of full
age, even
those who by
reason of use have
their senses
exercised to
discern both
good and
evil.
