What does Love mean? 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
"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
"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down
and little stars come out of you." (what an image)
Karen - age 7
"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 -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia
once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The
purpose of the contest was to find the most caring
child. 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.
