[Rev. Doc]

God's Great Wonders

"For everything God created is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving,"
I Timothy 4:4

The things we should really be thankful for are not the wonders of man, the wonders of God.

A group of Geography students who studied the Seven Wonders of the World. At the end of that section, they students were asked to list what they each considered to be the Seven Wonders of the World. Though there was some disagreement, the following got the most votes: Egypt's Great Pyramid, the Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, the Panama Canal, the Empire State Building, St. Peter's Basilica and China's Great Wall.
While gathering the votes, the teacher noted that one student, a quiet girl, hadn't turned in her paper yet. So she asked the girl if she was having trouble with her list. The quiet 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 to touch and to taste, to see and to hear . . . " She hesitated a little, "and then to run and to laugh and to love."

Prayer: In this season of thanksgiving, thank God for those things we so easily take for granted.

"Got no check books, got no banks. Still I'd like to express my thanks - I got the sun in the mornin' and the moon at night."
~Irving Berlin
