Seven Wonders of the World

Seven Wonders of the World                                    June 14, 2026

A class of kids was to make a list of the “Seven 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
• And St. Peter’s Basilica

It was only after the teacher had read through the lists 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 girl blushed and nodded, explaining, “There are so many wonders, I can’t narrow them down.”  “That’s okay,” 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.  So appreciate the incredible gifts you have been given. (from Real English R Video)

What a lesson from a little, innocent girl on the things we should be most grateful for in life.  Everything God has blessed us with is truly a wonder but no greater is the wonder that Jesus loves us; that He gave His life for us and is wanting us to be with Him in heaven for eternity.
