Subject: What Love Means
4-8

What
love means to a 4-8 year old.

Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it.
Touching words from the mouth of babes.


A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?'

The answers they
got were broader and deeper than anyone could have
imagined. See what you think.



'When
my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails
anymore.

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands
got arthritis too. That's love.'

Rebecca- age

'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'

Billy - age

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.'

Terri - age

'Love
is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it
to him, to make sure the taste is OK.'

Danny - age
7


'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still
want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss'

Emily - age 8


'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen.'

Bobby - age 7 (Wow!)


'If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate,'

Nikka - age 6
(we need a few million more Nikka's on this
planet)



'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after
they know each other so well.'

Tommy - age 6


'My
mommy loves me more than anybody else does. You don't see anyone else
kissing me to sleep at night.'

Clare - age 6


'Love
is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.'

Elaine-age

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and still says he is handsomer than
Robert Redford.'

Chris - age 7


'Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day.'

Mary Ann - age 4



'I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has
to go out and buy new ones.'

Lauren - age 4


'When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of
you.' (what an image)

Karen - age 7


'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross.'

Mark - age 6


'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you
should say it a lot. People forget.'

Jessica - age
8

And the final one . The
winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly
gentleman who had recently lost his wife.

Upon seeing the man cry, the
little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just
sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the
little boy said,

'Nothing, I just helped him
cry'


When
there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you
need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the
following small prayer for the person who sent you this.

Heavenly
Father, please bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be
needing this day! And may their life be full of Your peace, prosperity and power
as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.
