A class of kids was told to make a list of the “7 wonders of the world”. Once everyone had finished their lists, the teacher counted which wonders were the most popular. Not everyone agreed, but the final list was;

- The Grand Canyon
- The Great Wall of China
- The Panama Canal
- The Taj Mahal
- The Empire State Building
- The Great Pyramids in Egypt
- The St. Peter’s Basilica

It was only after the teacher had read through the list that she realized she had missed one sitting in the corner on her own, one student was still writing. The teacher approached her and asked: “Do you need help with your list?”

The little girls blushed and nodded, explaining; “There are so many wonders, I can’t narrow them down.” “That’s OK,” the teacher said. “Read out what you’ve written so far and maybe we can help.”

The girl was shy but began to read, “I think the seven wonders of the world are to feel, to touch, to see, to hear, to taste, to laugh, and to love.

The entire class was silent. The teacher was completely speechless.

The real wonders are the ones we take for granted every day. Appreciate the incredible gifts you have been given.
