KIDS - LOTS TO LEARN FROM KIDS

Saturday, September 15, 2007

Children, now and always see without blinders or filters. These children also have been shown love and have experienced love. It is fresh, available, and most importantly, simply a part of their lives. These arrived via an email, and I selected a few as examples, of Love.

"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)

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."
