LOVE...? Priceless...
A group of professional people posed this question to a groupof 4 to 8 year-olds, "What does love mean?" The answers theygot were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined.See what you think:
"When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn't bend overand paint her toenails anymore. So my grandfather does it for herall the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love."Rebecca- age 8When someone loves you, the way they say your name isdifferent. 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 onshaving cologne and they go out and smell each other."Karl - age 5

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia oncetalked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of thecontest was to find the most caring child.The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighborwas an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Uponseeing the man cry, the little boy went into the oldgentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. Whenhis Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boysaid, "Nothing, I just helped him cry"
When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find outthat 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 whosent you this.Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that Youknow they may be needing this day! And may their life be full ofyour peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closerrelationship with you. Amen.
