"Each day comes bearing its own gifts

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."
