What Does Love Mean?

[Freedom]

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 every day..' 


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.  Say the following small prayer 
for the person who posted this AND to all our fellow Phatmassers


Heavenly Father, please bless  my 
homies  in whatever it is that You know they may 
need ! And may their life be full of 
Your peace, prosperity and power as they seek 
to have a closer relationship with You. Amen. 


God Bless 
You!

Love is the brilliant white sparkle that Emanates in the eyes of a mother as she holds her new born baby

love is farting and not having to say, "excuse me".  :|

I find it rude to fart in front of anybody around you.

That was adorable. Love to me is when you finally feel safe and cared for,  no matter what happened in the past. Its forgiving someone even when its hard to. Its the joy in a parent's face as they look at their children. And its remembering to trust in the Lord through the good and the bad, for there is no love like His.

If you're getting married or have a long term relationship, get used to passing gas, burping, vomiting, and bodily functions in general. My fiance now has an iron stomach from seeing me get sick so much over the past 3.5 years.

I agree. Especially if you use NFP. And when you have children. The husband is going to learn a lot about CM and see a big 'ole mess on the delivery room table LOL.

This is so very true, the longer you're with someone the more barriers come down, barriers aren't always emotional/psychological =p

I went with Katy's family on their trip to visit family in Maine last summer. Along the way we are pretty sure that we picked up a very potent case of norovirus from a Subway in Pennsylvania.
We bonded quite a lot that trip from the shared trauma of norovirus. :|

"When a person becomes infected with norovirus, the virus begins to multiply within the small intestine. After approximately one to two days, norovirus symptoms can appear. The principal symptom is acute gastroenteritis that develops between 24 and 48 hours after exposure, and lasts for 24–60 hours.[11] The disease is usually self-limiting, and characterized by nausea, forceful vomiting, watery diarrhea, and abdominal pain, and in some cases, loss of taste. General lethargy, weakness, muscle aches, headache, coughs, and low-grade fever may occur."

That was me at the ER not too long ago. Ryan was such a trooper, lol. The barriers do come down and that kind of stuff becomes no biggie after a while.
