Imagine your in a Geography Class..
And your teacher asked you..
What are the 7 Wonders of the World??
I guess you'll look at an almanac and say..
"The Seven Wonders of the World are":
1.) Egypt's Great Pyramids
2.) Taj Mahal
3.) Grand Canyon
4.) Banaue Rice Terraces
5.) Empire State Building
6.) St. Peters Basilica
7.) Great Wall of China
Technically, your correct. But there is more to life than just riches and beauty. Beauty fades and riches can be depleted. We can adore them but we can't be obsessed with them.
Now, let me give you my 7 Wonders of the World.
1.) To See..
2.) To Hear..
3.) To Touch..
4.) To Taste..
5.) To Feel
6.) To Laugh
7.) To Love
The things we overlook as simple and ordinary and that we take for granted are truly beautiful, extraordinary and totally wondrous!! We should always remember that the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by men.. God is so good that he has given us these wonders..
The gift of sight. This gift enables us to appreciate the beauty of nature inside and out.. There is much to see if you'll just close your eyes.. Beauty surpasses what the eyes can see.. Blind people are the one's who can really tell us the meaning of sight.. Although they can't see through the eyes but they can see through the heart..
The gift of hearing.. Hearing is a very potent tool for communication.. It uses sounds to transmit meaning.. These sounds are then transmitted to the brain for decoding.. A very complicated thing but then God gave us this gift for us to understand the beauty of life.. It's not hearing that is important.. It's understanding what your hearing..
The gift to touch.. Touching is a privilege.. It's a way for us to express what we feel.. We slap, caress we hold.. It's a gift and a responsibility..
The gift to taste.. It's self explanatory.. How can you appreciate food if you can't taste it?? aheheh.. You can't like sweet if you haven't tried bitter..
The gift to feel.. It's a great gift.. You can feel warmth, coldness and appreciate their importance.. It's a gift to have emotions.. You
To laugh!! hahaha haha hahah hahah.. See?? Seems enjoyable.. Try it!! especially when your down and lonely??!! Just Laugh your heart out!! Laughter is always the best medicine.. When you're sad?? Laugh! When you're happy?? Laugh! When you're depressed?? Laugh out Loud!!
To love.. It's the greatest gift of all.. So simple yet so complicated..
See?? Wonders don't mean riches and wealth.. It means heart!! So enjoy your riches!! Make use of your wonders! And you'll become a walking almanac!! ahehehe
