the most precious things in life cannot be built by hand or bought by people~

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:
#Egypt's Great Pyramids
#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 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 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 see, to hear, to touch, to taste, to feel, to laugh, 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 people.
Miracles occur naturally as an expression of love. The real miracle is the love that inspires them. In this sense everything that comes from love is a miracle.
