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:
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 that one student, a
quiet girl,
hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if shewas
having
trouble with her list.
The quiet girl replied, "Yes, a little. I couldn't quite make up
mymind
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
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.

"You begin to live life looking for the God
that is all around you,
every moment becomes a prayer."
