The wisdom of the children...
Our own inner wisdom through our
inner child
when we choose to listen to him/her...
I thought it might elate you.

A group of Geography students studied the Seven Wonders of the
World. At the
end of that section, the students were asked to list what they
considered to
be 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. China's Great Wall
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student,
a quiet
girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if
she was
having trouble with her list. The quiet 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,
5. to run
6. to laugh
7. and to love
It is far too easy for us to look at the exploits of man and
refer to them
as "wonders" while we overlook all God has done, regarding them
as merely
"ordinary." May you be reminded today of those things which are
truly
wondrous.
