JUST ADDED.  UNTIL LAST WEEK,  I JUST ASSUMED THE ALAMO IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS AND THE LIBRARY OF CELSUS  IN EPHESUS, TURKEY, WERE IN THE LISTS OF UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITES.  BUT THEY WERE NOT.  I was a bit dumbfounded.

SEVEN  WONDERS OF
THE 
WORLD


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.
don't
be too busy to pass this along  

May
you find peace within you. May you trust God that you are exactly
where you are meant to be.
