[Westley Annis]

In God We Trust
 


  Kids often know the meaning of the word "love" better than we adults..
 
  +
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 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 . 

Then send it on to five other people ,   Within hours you caused a multitude
of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God
work in your life. 

P. S. Five is good , but more is better. 
God Bless You!
