A group of students were studying geography and they 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

quiet little girl hadn't turned in her paper yet. 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 touch,

  2. to taste,

  3. to see,

  4. to hear,

  5. to run,

  6. to laugh,

  7. and to love."



It is too easy for us to look at the exploits of man

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.
