The Seven Wonders
The Seven Wonders
A group of geography students were asked to list what they considered
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 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. 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 Goddess has done, regarding them as merely "ordinary". May you be reminded today of those things which are truly wondrous.
