Someone Once Said That If You Ever Want To Know ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
Someone once said that if you ever want to know the truth about something then you should ask children. I love the article in the Vessel this month by our Busy Bees as they shared what love means to them. Yet, I also came across some other responses by children as to what they see love is.
Glenn, age 7 - If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long. (loving people takes a long time. It should take a lifetime. We should love people all our lives.)
- Kenny, age 7 - It gives me a headache to think about that stuff. I’m just a kid. I don’t need that kind of trouble.
- Regina, age 10 - I’m not rushing into love. I’m finding fourth grade hard enough.
- Angie, age 10 - Most men are brainless, so you might have to try more than once to find a live one.
- Dave, age 8 - Love will find you, even if you are trying to hide from it. I’ve been trying to hide from it since I was five, but the girls keep finding me.
- Manuel, age 8 - I think you’re supposed to get shot with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn’t supposed to be painful.
