What does ‘Love’ mean?<\/p>\n

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does ‘love’ mean?’<\/p>\n

The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:<\/p>\n

**************<\/p>\n

‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore.<\/p>\n

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too.. That’s love.’<\/p>\n

And the final one –<\/p>\n

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.<\/p>\n

The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.<\/p>\n

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.<\/p>\n

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbour, the little boy said,<\/p>\n

‘Nothing, I just helped him cry’<\/p>\n

*************<\/p>\n

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU ARE OLD<\/strong><\/p>\n

I hope we have the presence of mind in such an emergency!<\/p>\n

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.<\/p>\n

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?” He said “No.” Then they said “All patrols were busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”\u00a0 George said, “Okay”.\u00a0 He hung up the phone and counted to 30.<\/p>\n

Then he phoned the police again.<\/p>\n

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed.\u00a0 Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them” and hung up.<\/p>\n

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.<\/p>\n

One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you shot them!”<\/p>\n

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”<\/p>\n

(a True Story)<\/p>\n

I love it!!!\u00a0 Don’t mess with old people!!<\/p>\n

*************************<\/p>\n

A beautiful story…. makes you understand that things happen for a reason <\/strong><\/p>\n

T\u00a0he brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned\u00a0to their first ministry, to reopen a church<\/p>\n

in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October\u00a0excited about their opportunities When they saw<\/p>\n

their church, it was very run down and needed\u00a0much work. They set a goal to have everything<\/p>\n

done in time to have their first service\u00a0on Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n

They worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls,\u00a0painting, etc, and on December 18<\/p>\n

were ahead of schedule and just about finished. \u00a0On December 19 a terrible tempest – a driving<\/p>\n

rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. \u00a0On the 21st, the pastor went over to the church.<\/p>\n

His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about<\/p>\n

20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the\u00a0sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about<\/p>\n

head high.<\/p>\n

The pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor,\u00a0and not knowing what else to do but postpone<\/p>\n

the Christmas Eve service, headed home.<\/p>\n

On the way he noticed that a local business was\u00a0having a flea market type sale for charity so he<\/p>\n

stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful,\u00a0handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth<\/p>\n

with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross\u00a0embroidered right in the center. It was just<\/p>\n

the right size to cover up the hole in the front\u00a0wall. He bought it and headed back to the church.<\/p>\n

B\u00a0y this time it had started to snow. An older\u00a0woman running from the opposite direction was<\/p>\n

trying to catch the bus.. She missed it. The pastor\u00a0invited her to wait in the warm church for<\/p>\n

the next bus 45 minutes later.<\/p>\n

She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor\u00a0while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put<\/p>\n

up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor\u00a0could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and<\/p>\n

it covered up the entire problem area.<\/p>\n

Then he noticed the woman walking down the center\u00a0aisle. Her face was like a sheet.. ‘Pastor,’<\/p>\n

she asked, ‘where did you get that tablecloth?’<\/p>\n

The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check\u00a0the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into<\/p>\n

it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had\u00a0made this tablecloth 35 years before, in\u00a0Austria<\/p>\n

The woman could hardly believe it as the pastor\u00a0told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The<\/p>\n

woman explained that before the war she and\u00a0her husband were well-to-do people in\u00a0Austria\u00a0.<\/p>\n

When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. \u00a0Her husband was going to follow her the next week..<\/p>\n

He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her\u00a0husband or her home again.<\/p>\n

The pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth;\u00a0but she made the pastor keep it for the church.<\/p>\n

The pastor insisted on driving her home, that\u00a0was the least he could do. She lived on the other<\/p>\n

side of\u00a0Staten Island\u00a0and was only in\u00a0Brooklyn\u00a0for the day for a housecleaning job.<\/p>\n

What a wonderful service they had on Christmas\u00a0Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the<\/p>\n

spirit were great. At the end of the service, the\u00a0pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door<\/p>\n

and many said that they would return.<\/p>\n

One older man, whom the pastor recognized\u00a0from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the<\/p>\n

pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he\u00a0wasn’t leaving.<\/p>\n

The man asked him where he got the tablecloth on\u00a0the front wall because it was identical to one<\/p>\n

that his wife had made years ago when\u00a0they lived in\u00a0Austria\u00a0before the war and how<\/p>\n

could there be two tablecloths so much alike.<\/p>\n

He told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he\u00a0forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was<\/p>\n

supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and\u00a0put in a prison.. He never saw his wife or his home<\/p>\n

again all the 35 years in between.<\/p>\n

The pastor asked him if he would allow him to\u00a0take him for a little ride. They drove to\u00a0Staten<\/p>\n

Island\u00a0and to the same house where the pastor\u00a0had taken the woman three days earlier.<\/p>\n

He helped the man climb the three flights of\u00a0stairs to the woman’s apartment, knocked on<\/p>\n

the door and he saw the greatest Christmas\u00a0reunion he could ever imagine.<\/p>\n
