What really matters?

 A group of students were asked to list what they thought were the present
 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 quiet student who
 had not returned her paper. 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 you out."

 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 added

 5. to feel

 6. to laugh

 7. and to love

 The room was so full of silence, you could have heard a pin drop. A gentle
 reminder to all of you that the most precious things are before you: your
 family, your faith, your love, your good health and your friends.
