A group of students were 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 student had not finished
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 and ordinary
and that we 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.
The original is in Black; my additions are in red.
The 'Seven Wonders of the/my World' are:
1. to see a smile on the face of your loved ones
2. to hear the laughter of children
3. to touch the heart of someone not expecting it.
4. to taste the tears of absolute happiness
5. to feel the love of those you care about
6. to laugh at yourself
7. and to love like you've never been hurt!
I've been blessed with all of the above in my life, so I feel truly blessed!
I wish you the same blessings!
