A group of professional people posed this question
to a group of 4 to 8 year olds,
"What Does Love Mean?"

"When my grandmother got arthritus,
she couldn't bend over to paint her toenails anymore.
So my grandfather does it for her all the time
even though he has arthritus in his hands too.
That's love".

the way they say your name is different.
You just know that your name is safe in their mouth!

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!"

 in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
