The 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: 

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, 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: 

1. to touch 

2. to taste, 

3. to see 

4. to hear." 

She hesitated a little, and then added, "

5. to run 

6. to laugh 

7. 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!
