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 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:
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.
