1 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115914 | ||
Actually I have. My problem is I'm having a difficult time explaining to a seven year old. Thought maybe there were some parents out there who have already been down this road and could enlighten me in areas I've not considered. | ||||||
2 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | Rowdy | 115946 | ||
Now that we understand what you're looking for: To a seven year old child, I would think a good example for him to understand would be for him to be willing to share a single scoop of his favorite ice cream with his new friend whom he just met. It might be emphasized that true love would have to come from within him and not at the direction of his parent or guardian. You could possibly substitute the ice cream with his favorite toy or maybe his favorite posession. Let us know what you finally end up using. God bless you in trying to be a role model for this young one. |

3 | What is Love?? | Matt 22:37 | TheCurtMan | 115982 | ||
I appreciate all the responces I've received, THANKS!! Funny how things worked out. I saw the little boy yesterday just prior to him being escorted home by his grand parents. They only had him on a shot term basis. I asked him if he remembered me. He shook his head yes. I asked him if he remembered the question he asked me yesterday. He shook his head no. I said you asked me what was love. He said, be nice to people when they make you mad. "Close enough", I said. For a hot second I knew what it felt like to be a proud parent. "That's how you show love. If you want to know what love is, find out who God is because God is love". That one I got from the forum. Because of the expression on his face, I thought I lost him altogether. Then he said, "God is love, who is God?" Ever been put on a spot by a kid?? I said that Jesus came out of Heaven to be punished for him because Jesus loved him and Jesus wanted to always be with him forever and ever. Then he said, "So Jesus is love", "Yes exactly right" Then he said, "Did they make Jesus mad?" I kinda thought of the temple incident and was saved by his grand mother who showed to pick him up. He told his grandmother that Jesus was love. They say that kid was slow, but I saw no traces of it. Thanks again for everyone's help The CurtMan |
