This was passed on to me from Lisa Kluss; I thought it was good. I hope that you do too!

Seven Wonders of the World

A group of students was asked to list what they
thought were the present "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 that one
quiet student 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 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, ordinary & take for
granted are truly wondrous!

A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in
life cannot be built by hand or bought by man.
