I just got this email from my friend Maddie.

"What Love means to a 4-8 year old . . ...
Slow down for three minutes to read this. It is so worth it. From the mouth of babes.
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.'

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. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.

Heavenly Father, please bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may be needing this day! And may their life be full of Your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with You. Amen.

Then send it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life."
 
The last one almost had me in tears!!!! Ahh!!! I'm such a sap.
 

you're welcome guys.

Yeah I've seen it before. Kids are so awesome but also very honest!!
 
Aww! Those are so true. I can't believe 4-8 year olds know that stuff. I couldn't even describe love like that.
 
That is so adorable.
It makes me all teary eyed.

I can't velive that 4-8 year olds give the best ways to explain love.they probably explain it better then teenagers.
 
that is adorable.
i love it.
those kids did a better job than i would have.
 
That is about the cutest thing I've read.
Who knew 4-8 year olds could be so deep.
The last one had me in tears.

'Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.' - LOL!

'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.'

'Love is when you go out to eat and give somebody most of your French fries without making them give you any of theirs.'
