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 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 Brad Pitt.'
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.
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.
