Bit long, but please perservere and tell me if you had tears in your eyes after!!
What Love means to a 4-8 year old . .
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 8
'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 4
'Love is
when a girl puts on perfume and a boy puts on shaving cologne and they
go out
and smell each other.'
Karl - age 5
'Love is
when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries
without
making them give you any of theirs.'
Chrissy - age 6
'Love is
what makes you smile when you're tired.'
Terri - age 4
'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
when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'
Noelle - age 7
'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
'During
my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all
the people
watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling.
He was the only one
doing that. I wasn't scared anymore.'
Cindy - age 8
'My
mommy loves me more than anybody
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 5
'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 your friends.....
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/
Then send
it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...
It's about
learning to dance in the rain.
