Chaplain’s Corner …

A group of students was asked to list what they thought were 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. Great Wall of China
While gathering the votes, the professor noted that one quiet student hadn’t turned in her paper yet. 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 professor 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, the following:
1. to touch
2. to taste
3. to see
4. to hear
She hesitated a little, then added
5. to feel
6. to laugh
7. to love
The room was so full of silence you could have heard a pin drop. The things we overlook as “simple” and “ordinary” are truly wondrous.
A gentle reminder that the most precious things are before you: your family, your faith, your love, your good health and your friends.
