A group of students of Geography was studying the seven wonders of the world. At the end of the class they were asked to make a list of what they considered should really be the Seven Wonders of the World.
Despite some disagreements, the majority voted for the following: Egypt's Pyramids, Taj Mahal, the Great Canyon, the Panama Canal, the Empire State, the Basilica of St. Peter, the Chinese Wall.
While the voting was made the teacher noted that a student remained still quiet and had still not handed her list. So he asked her if she still had a problem to make her election. The girl answered timidly,
" Yeah, a little. I could not decide since there are some many wonders. "
The teacher said, " Well, tell us what you have written and perhaps we can help you."
The girl hesitated and then she read," I believe the Seven Wonders are: To be able to touch, taste, see, listen..."
Hesitating a little she continued," To be able to feel, laugh and... love."
When she finished reading them the class was in absolute silent.
It is very simple for us to be able to see many of the man's deeds and to refer to them as wonders, when sometimes we overlook the wonders God made for us and that are simply "common".
May you today remember those things that are really marvelous!
