Sometimes we forget just how simple things are suppose to be...
"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 -- 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.
