Title: "Seven Wonders of the World" Post by: ollie on July 30, 2003, 06:28:13 PM 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. And To Love The room was so quiet you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly wondrous! A gentle reminder - that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by man. "Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons, enjoy your gifts and give thanks to the Giver." Author unknown to poster.

Mid all the traffic of the ways, turmols without, within, Make in my heart a quiet place, And come and dwell therein: :) Title: Re:"Seven Wonders of the World" Post by: Whitehorse on July 30, 2003, 09:05:09 PM That is very nice. Thank you. If we want to see those wonders, we don't have to look far. :)

Just tonight we got a call from our church prayer chain-a woman suddenly went blind and is in emergency to find out why. Just goes to show how fragile these wonders are. It's so easy to take for granted sometimes. :'(
