A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present 
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 quiet student hadn't 
turned in 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 touch 
2. to taste 
3. to see 
4. to hear She hesitated a little, and then added 
5. to feel 
6. to laugh 
7. and to love 

The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. Those things 
we overlook as simple and "ordinary" are truly wondrous. A gentle reminder 
that the most precious things are in front of you. Your family, your faith, 
your love, your good health and your friends.
