"The Seven Wonders of The
World"
(Unknown Author)
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
the 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 and China's Great Wall.
While 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 quiet 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 said: ". . . to run . . . to laugh . . . 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.
At the end of life we'll find that the
only things we've lost were those we tried to keep. "But seek ye first the
kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto
you." Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
