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.'

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 everyday.'

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.'

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. Author Unknown How can we NOT praise Him - Marilyn |

. . . Saying I am sorry is WORTHLESS without real repentance. True or FALSE ? Without a personal and intimate relationship with God, how can you ever realize the true identity and person of God? Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know ? Yes ? ? .

Hi Marilyn, Love this post, children do say the most wonderful things, and at the same time are so funny. Thank-you for sharing these with us. God Bless You Sue John 14:6 - Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

Marilynn, I have been teaching 3 classes, healing from my fall, tutoring up to 7 of my students, private tutoring 3 others people, helping out at my church, and teaching ACT classes on Saturday. Then starting Monday night I will be supervising the math tutor lab at Berea College 3 nights a week. So, I'm just a little busy. Bundles of blessings to you too.
