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 the 'Seven  Wonders of the World'   are:

6 - To Laugh

 

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 wondrous!   A gentle reminder -- that the most precious things in life  cannot be built by hand or bought by man.

Psalm 118:24

 
This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
 
Matthew 6: 33-34
 

33) But seek ye first His Kingdom and His righteousness,

and all these things will be given to you as well.

 

34) Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. 

Each day has enough trouble of its own.

 

Peace with God

 

Happy Easter
