The 7 Wonders of the
World
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:
-
Egypt's
Great Pyramids
-
Taj
Mahal
-
Grand
Canyon
-
Panama
Canal
-
Empire
State Building
-
St.
Peter's Basilica
-
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:
-
To
touch
-
To
taste
-
To
see
-
To
hear . . . She hesitated a little, and then . . .
-
To
run
-
To
laugh
-
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.
