Seven Wonders of the World
Unknown Author

A group of students were asked to list 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 Wll

While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one quiet student 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 are 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, then added:

5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. and to love

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop.
Those things we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous.

A gentle reminder that the most precious things in life cannot be bought.

I guess those are the true wonders of nature.

Thanks, unicorn, for the reminder

Beautiful Unicorn... and so true

That is a wonderful story.

We remember what man made, but don't remember what God gave. We should all be so lucky as to feel like that child.
