Well, what is your answer to this question? What are the 7 wonders of this present world? Here is my answer:
To see
To hear
To touch
To feel (emotions)
To laugh
To love
and THE GREATEST OF ALL, IS THAT JESUS GAVE HIM LIFE FOR US!
I watched our son lay in a hospital bed when he had lost his ability to see, eat, talk, walk, use the bathroom, and was as helpless as a baby. Now to hear him talk, laugh, watch him eat and be able to see again, those are the great wonders of our present world! It scared me so bad the first day I realized he couldn't see. I thought the infection had caused him to go blind. He couldn't tell us what pain he was suffering, because he couldn't talk. To see him do these things all again is greater than any wonder of the world that you might could visit.
To hear our daughter laugh and feel her arms around us, is a wonder; because all of the things Preston could never do in life; she can do, and it has been a blessing to watch her excel. To watch her be part child and part teenager is quite a wonder! She is 13 and that is a hard age. The acne, the way of women that has already started for her, her like for boys (oh no, what are we in for??) these prove she is a normal young lady. So we have the joys of a special needs child and the joys of a very intelligent child. Both are precious in the eyes of the Lord and in our eyes as well.
So if you can't remember the 7 wonders, look around you; you will quickly find 7 and more wonders of the world.
Yes, we all have problems, but we all have wonders too; many more than 7.

You are so right! I think we see things differently than others since we live the "special needs" way of life.
Exactly, Les! And it is hard having a special needs child, but I am so glad I can see so many wonders that I might never had seen if I had of had 2 healthy children.
Norma,
You are so right!!!! Just look around and we ALL live in the presence of wonders and miracles. Some of us need a little help seeing them. I am so glad things are going well for you and your family.
Love, Cindy
Thanks Cindy! Things have greatly improved. My fibro is really acting up though and I am in pain a lot. Can't win them all.
