The 7 Wonders of the World

A group of Geography students studied the Seven
Wonders of the World. Afterward, the students were
asked to list what they consider to be the Seven
Wonders of the Modern 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 read,

5. to run (I hope you really value every time you get up and take a step and then another!!)
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.

Remember this: life is not measured by the number
of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our
breath away."
