Jesus loves children. No wonder. They are honest and insightful. Someone asked some 4 to 8 year olds: “What does love mean?” Here are some of the answers…
“Love is what makes you smile when you are tired.”
“Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas, if you stop opening presents and listen.”
“When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails. So my grandmother does this for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love.”
“Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, and then he wears it every day.”
“When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.”
Love is when a girl puts on perfume, and a boy puts on shaving cologne, and then they go out on a date and smell each other.”
“Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.”
“You shouldn’t really say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But then you should say it alot, because people forget.”
