The Real Seven Wonders of the World

Its funny that I got it from my old blog

 

SEVEN WONDERS

A group of students were asked to list what they  thought were the present "Seven Wonders of the  World." Though there were some disagreements, the following received 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 had not finished 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 see
2. to hear
3. to touch
4. to taste
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. to love.

The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous!  The most precious things in life cannot be built by  hand or bought.

I forgot where I got this originally but it moved me way back.

    I super agree with the girl. We should always appreciate those simple things before we appreciate other things that are made by man.

  13. To see the world through the eyes of a child... that is the most wondrous thing! This reminds me of one of my favorite books, "The Little Prince."

  22. Things that we just take for granted.... Without these we won't be able to enjoy the rest of God's wonderful creation!

  23. For me to be able to appreciate things of wonder, they should practically appeal to the 5 basic senses of human being: vision, touch, taste, hearing, and smell.

  24. The girl has that view that LIFE IS A WONDER. Full of wonders that even us cannot understand. Looking for the 7 Wonders of the World is indeed in our self. Because we are GOD Wonderful Creation.
