| what does love mean? |
This is kinda long.. but it's worth reading it...
h&k&atms,
von
A group of professional people posted 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.
When my grandma got arthritis, she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore. So my grandpa does it for her now 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 mouths.
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.
Kari- 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.
- 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 (another wow!)
Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then he wears it everyday.
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 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
When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down and little stars come out of you.
Karen- age 7
Love is when mommy sees daddy on the toilet and 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 winner was a 4 year old child whose next door neighbour was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbour, the little boy said "Nothing, I just helped him cry."

| over thinking (no.9) |
I was thinking
Over thinking
Cause there’s just too many scenarios
To analayze
Look in my eyes
Cause you’re my dream please come true
I was thinking
Over thinking
About exactly how I’m not exactly him
I’ll break my heart in two
More times than you could ever do
Cause you’re my dream please come true
Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And you’re so out of touch
Cause I’m so far behind
I can’t deny this anymore,
The facts ignored all done before
And if there’s one in this world,
You let me know you’re not that girl
I was sinking
Lower, sinking
Cause I lost the things I held on to
They let me think a thought
A thought that I would know was not
Of seeing my dream come true
I was thinking
Over thinking
About how far I had let this go
One more guy/girl cliché
I know now you’re just in the way
Of me and my dream come true
Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And you’re so out of touch
Cause I’m so far behind
I’m trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip
I can’t deny this anymore,
The facts ignored all done before
And if there’s one in this world,
You let me know you’re not that girl
Don’t touch the positive with the negative end
Don’t touch the positive with the negative end
Cause after all of the sparks you’re left alone in the dark
Cause after all of the sparks you’re left alone in the dark
And while I’m able, I think I’ll label
Experience with you as a mistake
And while I’m at it, I’ll say I’ve had it
Experience with you is a mistake
Cause I think way too much
On a one track mind
And you’re so out of touch
Cause I’m so far behind
I’m trying to make sense
Out of all of this
While your fading scent
Just slips through my grip
I was thinking
Over thinking
Cause there’s just too many scenarios
To think about
To figure out
If you’re my dream please come true
"I was thinking
Over thinking
About how far I had let this go
One more guy/girl cliché
I know now you’re just in the way
Of me and my dream come true"
That's a bit harsh.. but it's true, isn't it? Me and my dream come true is me and God... and if any thing comes between us and God they're in the way, right?
"I'll kill the thing that turns me away
Amputate the arm that will disobey
Withdraw from everything that's hurting me
Until you finish your work in me"

mr darcy's the coolest ever.. and if i ever meet him and if he were christian and godly and younger, i'd marry him.... BUT... 1) he's fictional and 2) Lizzy married him first... *sigh* oh well
haha parent teacher interviews on next wednesday...
prayer group isn't going good... haven't prayed with marion at all and today the grass was wet so i had to go to the library (cos we aren't allowed in the classrooms without a teacher) so i didn't get much praying done

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
psalm63.1-4
