Word of the Day: Blessings

Someone shared this with me a few years ago and I wanted to share 

it with you. It didn't come to me with an author's name on it- 

if it had I would gladly attribute it to them. 

It's a gentle reminder to count your blessings, today and everyday.

                   THE 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 these are 

the 'Seven Wonders of the World':

1. To See

2. To Hear

3. To Touch 

 

 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 blessings!

Every day is filled with miracles and blessings that God freely 

shares!
