THIS JUST IN FROM ARELY VIA A TEXT MESSAGE LASTING EVENING:

“Thank you for returning us to God 🙏🏻 we are going through a somewhat complicated situation but meeting you today made us return to GOD THE FATHER. THANK YOU REALLY Luke 15” Arely

Last night, by the hand of God, I met Arely, her son, and another dear woman. After Arely received the ministry of the Word via the spoken Word in Spanish and a Jesus tract she also received a PDF copy of the books Authentic and Moments in Spanish via text. Then the other dear woman, after receiving a JESUS tract opened it and began reading it aloud as we all sat together! So that Arely, her 11 year old son, and all of us heard God’s Word read to us. She just read the Scriptures aloud. That young boy was moved and the seed of our LORD’s Word was planted in his heart and he received his own copy of the JESUS tract. (11 years old is when this disciple first heard the Gospel from an older boy) Oh and the reason Arely spoke of Luke 15 was that she was exhorted to go read it and see how beautiful is the restorative love of God! Clearly this was her way to sharing that she went home and sought the LORD, reading Luke 15. | STORE

No one is in a rush, no one here lives in a rush. Refreshing. People matter to everyone here in Mexico.

The latest: Check out the stories of lives being reached for Jesus in beautiful Mexico. Jesus died and rose again for these beloved people and nearly without exception, they desire to hear the Word of God. Oh how beautiful is humility!

When persecution hit Jerusalem, the saints of Christ were scatters. “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.” (Acts 8:4)

Together we are going out into the world to reach many with the soul saving Gospel of Jesus.

“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!” Romans 10:14-15

Pablo, while at work, began to pour out his heart to me. He kept coming back and talking. What a dear man he is. When he found out I was from the USA, he broke down crying. There is deep grief in his life. He has spent ample time in the USA and so is bi-lingual. Please lift this man in prayer. He received a Jesus tract and had God’s Word ministered to him. He asked to exchange numbers and we did and he was sent the pdf versions of Authentic and Moments books in Spanish. Karen Cochran so very true! yes before he began pouring out his heart, all I had said to him to that point was “God bless you” in Spanish. Pablo’s heart was hurting and he was so desiring to have someone to talk to. He was instructed, encouraged to go home and read the Jesus tract and repent and put his faith in Christ and shown the prayer on the back. Thank you praying for him.

Mission Mexico

In the ministry and the lives of Jesus and His holy apostles, we see them going from town to town, preaching the Word. See the 4 Gospels and Acts, etc. It’s not that they didn’t go back to their previous locations to minister to the saints and yet, the fact remains that they were on the move – reaching “all the world” (Mark 16:15).

The people of Mexico are tech savvy and so inviting them to download the Reina Valera Bible (KJB equivalent) and passing, sending them the ministry the books we currently have in Spanish (Moments and Authentic), and Jesus tract is a simple transaction. They even ask for these things. And this makes things simple for them to share with others which they are expressly invited to do.

Presently we are having the What’s Next book translated into Spanish. This is vital, especially for all the new believers as it cover the basics, what’s most important for the saved, in growing in the grace of Christ, building a strong foundation, identifying with Christ (Colossians 2:6-10; 2 Peter 3:18, etc.).

Knowing the power of our God in the name of Jesus I told beloved Joe that many Christians in America are going to be lifting him in prayer….. he rejoiced. Please do! Joe is from Atlanta and has been living here with his lovely wife and children. He was completely receptive to the Gospel of our LORD Jesus and said his mother has been lifting him in prayer and ministering to him for years. No words could describe the ministry time that transpired with this man. He gladly received a JESUS tract, was shown the website address on the back and we exchanged numbers. The devil is on the run! Jesus is KING. Please pray for this beloved man for whom Jesus died and rose again. -And know that YOU, yes you, as a saved, born again saint, are doing the most vital part of this whole story …. as far as men go! We are seeing God answer prayers immediately. Sorry saints but I can’t even keep up and for every person featured there are several more…. Jesus is coming. Jesus and Joe – let’s go saints!

Meeting so many from America and all over the world here. Ran out of tracts and breath tonight ministering!!!!

Boom Jesus Reigns forevermore! Rev 1:8 anyone! | Mission Mexico

Beloved Johan was ministered to extensively this week. For now he is sleeping on a bench it seems. The Gospel was preached to him, he was given a Spanish Reina Valera Bible, and a Jesus tract in Spanish. He also received a hot meal. To say this man was a delight to help would be an understatement. As you will see here he opened that Bible and began reading it aloud, all of his own accord. Video below.

Oh and the special people at the restaurant where Johan was, were very special, received the Jesus tract also, and were glad to be able to feed Johan, all because you gave. After leaving Johan it was yet another rapid fire type barrage of quality ministry to many, one person after the next. Only God!

“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” Ephesians 3:20-21

That was the last Spanish Bible I had. It’s Johan’s now!

If anyone wishes to help the ministry buy more of these and full Bibles, please feel free. We’re running low on the Jesus tracts here also and always in need of cash to feed and help the poor. Oh and the What’s Next book, to lay a sound biblical foundation in the lives of those being saved, is as we speak being translated into Spanish. See it here on the Store page.

The Gospel is being preached outright – nothing held back. The blood, the cross, the resurrection, repentance and faith, the crucified life, etc.! Lives are being changed. We are only able to feature a small portion of those being reached. God is good. Let’s roll saints. Jesus is coming. | Support

Cristo es El Rey!

As you can see, Guillermo joyfully received the Word of our LORD spoken to him in Spanish. He was instructed to go home and repent and receive Jesus for the forgiveness of all his sins and to walk with Christ daily to the end of his life. Want to lift this man in prayer? God is able!

*No, none of these people receiving God’s love are ever asked to smile. That’s their own disposition.

Maresto received a delicious hot meal,
a cold bottled water,
and the love of Jesus shown to him

YOUR PRAYER

… for God to use you mightily in this final hour…. Holy Father, I come to You afresh in the name of my LORD Jesus Christ, asking You to strip and cleanse every trace of deceit, pride, self- righteousness, and evil from my heart and life. Please make me Your ambassador, a vessel of honor, purified, Your cleansed vessel for Your eternal glory. Make me to be a consummate soul winner who also faithfully feeds Your flock, to nourish and see You cause them to grow in the knowledge and grace of Christ – to be rooted and grounded in Jesus! In Jesus’ name. Sobeit!

The beautiful faces of those our LORD came to die for …..

Today, was blessed to speak at length about Christ and His kingdom with a dear woman named Miss Soni. With each of the people posted on this page, they are informed that many Christian people in the United States are going to be lifting them in prayer. It’s clear that they receive this as a love gesture from the LORD, that’s for sure!

Soni is asking for prayer for wholeness. She is going through difficult times. She received ministry at length and it was obvious that she is crying out for answer, for someone to talk to. She received the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was very encouraged to know that many Christians, members of the body of Christ, in the USA, will be lifting her in prayer.

Recently, a man named Juan Carlos (yes that’s his name;)…. was shown how to download the Reina Valera Spanish Bible on his phone. He was overjoyed to be introduced to this. Then He received the ministry of the spoken Word and a Jesus tract and was exhorted to go home and pray the prayer on the back in repentance and faith, surrendering his life to Christ. He readily received. Thank you for praying for Juan Carlos.

This morning, our friend Fernando received the love of God in the form of food, hot coffee, a jacket (it’s very cool here now), and a new pair of pants. Yes he does work and yet is getting “back on his feet” at the moment. You will recall that we’ve been ministering to this man for a few weeks now – the spoken Word, the Jesus tract in Spanish etc. Would you like to pray for a miracle in Fernando’s life?
Your love gifts make all of this possible.

Ministry Updates

FREEDOM IS COMFORT. Read that again. So is being able to afford ones cost of living much easier, right? Here’s one of the best things about Mexico, the people – “Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly (poor), than to divide the spoil with the proud (rich).“ Proverbs 16:19 …. where I live in Mexico everyone treats everyone else well, they help each other, they value everyone. Mexicans help Mexicans. Family is of the utmost importance – therefore this nation has a future. God will not bless any nation who does not hold to HIS stated nuclear family unity – Husband, wife, children (Ps 11:3; 68:6; Gen 1:27-28).

MANY is the western world talk about “getting ahead” because they are empty and miserable, dissatisfied. In Mexico and most of the world, people just do their work for the day and count it a blessing with no thought of “getting ahead” but rather which just being thankful they had the blessing of working and making a day’s wage. They do not fret or worry about tomorrow…..

WHEN you support the mission of Christ being executed via safeguardyoursoul, we are a team for Jesus. Be sure you are not supporting us buying garbage “food” from a fast (poisoned) food chain. No, we buy them REAL food, locally sourced, healthy for them as we minister to their immediate needs. This helps a family by buying from their business. Most essential, each person ministered to gets a copy of the JESUS tract and a loving communication of the Gospel of Christ in their own language. Let’s roll saints.

“Love this! You are not only feeding their souls with the pure nourishing words of the Lord, you are also feeding their physical bodies with the pure nourishment of real food. Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran

Oh, and the people whom the food is purchased from are ministered to and super receptive…. and also appreciative that they were allowed to be involved in helping the hungry. In Mexico, everyone helps everyone. Amazing.

Ministry Updates

WHEN Jesus is truly “FIRST LOVE” in our lives, we are about HIS Great Commission business, HIS cause (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-28; Acts, etc). WHEN you truly follow Jesus, you are about HIS “business” as the absolutely top priority! (Luke 2:49)

It’s a real blessing to be around a whole people who care for and help each other, who value family and human life immensely. No death culture here.

“We celebrate together what God is doing! I feel so much joy when you share what God is doing in Mexico and when you share the pictures of the precious people of Mexico! We are celebrating Jesus! Just as the Apostles did! It is an encouragement to my heart! Team Jesus!” Karen Cochran

Luis was ministered to in several ways and most importantly he readily received the Word of God plentifully spoken to him. With your gifts, our LORD also blessed Luis with a warm family made meal from a dear lady who cooks daily for those in her vicinity. As with all, when Luis was given a Jesus tract he was showed the prayer to pray in repentance and faith on the back (Acts 20:21).

Juan was as amazingly kind to speak with as one can see on his countenance. Just look at that face, that smile, that noble disposition. Need I say more? He graciously received a Jesus tract, some dinero, and the ministry of the spoken Word of our God in Spanish. Boom.

Amazing. Compliments of Christ’s body, moving with His “compassion” on those without Jesus as their Shepherd (Matthew 9:35-38). Ministry Updates

Fernando was ministered to extensively. He’s pretty much bi lingual. He graciously, readily received the JESUS tract and was blessed with some dinero thanks to you. Jesus is touching lives!

Your prayers and support make this possible. Jerry heard the Gospel of Jesus in Spanish, joyfully received a JESUS tract in Spanish, and was very receptive, chimed in, loves the truth, is hungry, was instructed to go home and pray the prayer on the back of the JESUS tract in repentance and faith and to be saved….. this many is on his way at least.

All Ministry Updates

Alejandro received, for the second time, a listening ear, and the love of God in the form of the ministry, a Jesus tract, a hot cup of coffee, and some dinero (no as in Robert haha). Since this was our second meeting and in the first one he received ministry, Alejandra started off immediately talking about God and a local fellowship he was talking about.

Ministry Update: Mexico Mission Update [podcast]

***Hope you enjoy and will lift a prayer for these precious people we are together blessed and privileged to reach for Christ (1 Corinthians 3:6-9). Also, keep in mind that only a percentage of the ministry exchanges are feasible and yet this should give a sense of what our LORD is doing here in Mexico – due to the giving of His saints to His business – His Great Commission.

Communicating The Gospel in Spanish

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 6 Saints here are 6 Gospel statements in Spanish you didn’t previously know. I was overjoyed to share the Gospel in Spanish with a young man recently who was from Mexico. Upon speaking the Word to Him about Jesus Christ being the only way to God, his countenance lit up immediately and he began to smile and rejoice. To make double and triple sure he was truly a believer, I verbally qualified with him that he […]

JESUS Tract in Spanish

[this is the actual text of the JESUS tract in Spanish version] El acontecimiento más descatado de la historia de la humanidad ocurrió cuando este hombre, Jesucristo, murió en una cruz romana. Cuando Él murio, una oscuridad intempestiva cubrió la tierra a las 3 de la tarde y se produjo un terremoto cuando tomó su último aliento. Este hombre llamado Jesús fue crucificado.

Was Jesus Rich While on Earth? [podcast]

DID JESUS have a Vehicle, Bed, or a Bunch of Money? Beware of those who want to fabricate the unfounded, erroneous idea that Jesus was rich in this world when He walked the earth. This they do in order to justify their own covetous greed for the things of this leading world. This clearly proves they are ungodly and hell bound (Ephesians 5:5-6). Word of Faith Wolves have stated the following: “Jesus was a rich man. He had to have been, in order to have supported his disciples and their families during his ministry.” T.D. Jakes “God wants us to […]

The Good Shepherd and His True Sheep [podcast]

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant …” Hebrews 13:20

“To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.” John 10:3

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” John 10:27-29

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” 2 Timothy 3:1-13

“And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. 24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. 25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?” Luke 9:23-25

“My Sheep Hear My Voice, and I Know them, and they Follow Me" [podcast]

There are 7 portraits of Jesus in the Gospel of John. One of those seven portraits is Jesus our “the good shepherd.” (John 10) The first thing the good shepherd of the sheep did was give His life to purchase the sheep with His own blood. “I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.” John 10:11 Jesus who created us, then came to die to buy up back to the Father and Himself. The Bible, God’s Word, is full of illustrations of who God is, and who He is to us. He is our […]

"Feed My Sheep" [podcast]

The Paramount Divine Importance of Nourishing the Saints of Christ “Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.” 1 Timothy 4:16 Nourishing Christ’s Sheep “Feed the Flock of God.” 1 Peter 5:2 First, it’s God’s flock, paid for with the very blood of Jesus Christ (Acts 20:28). Jesus Christ is “that great shepherd of the sheep” (Hebrews 13:20). He instructed us to follow Him and, in doing so, to “FEED my sheep” (John 21:15-17). Tending to the sheep of Christ’s pasture involves nourishing […]

“He that Loveth Pureness of Heart” [podcast]

IS YOUR HEART PURE BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY BELOVED?

DO I truly love “pureness of heart”?

“HE THAT LOVETH PURENESS OF HEART, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11

Without a pure heart, obtained from seeking, worshiping, knowing, and obey God …. no one “shall see God.” Not one.

“Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

If you or I have every word of the Bible memorized and die today with a heart that is defiled with sin, we’d bust hell wide open – and be trapped there irrevocably forever.

TODAY is our day, it’s your day, to throw up those hands and that heart to the LORD who made you, and cry out to Him to grant you a pure heart, one that is innocent, clean, washed, delighting in Him.

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4

When the LORD is truly working in a man, that man is learning to love “pureness of heart.”

“He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Proverbs 22:11

Coming and continuing to come to the light is essential to final salvation.

“And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

Choosing the Fear of the LORD

WE must surround ourselves with the Word, the people, the praises of our God! FLOOD your ear and eye gates beloved (Proverbs 4:23). Jesus is coming.

“But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:21

Coming clean: To be sanctified by Christ, one must repent and believe upon Him. As the LORD works in them, there will be the response of honesty, humble repentance and a coming to the light, continually. If not, judgment will be incurred (Isaiah 1:19-20).

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

Those who cover instead of bring their depraved hearts into the light to have them changed and cleansed by the LORD, “shall not prosper.” In other words, they are stifled. Those who remain humble, teachable, correctable, rebukeable, and obedient, will receive divine mercy perpetually.

“God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.” Psalms 55:19

Those who refuse to “choose the fear of the LORD” have no changes in their lives.

“For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:” Proverbs 1:29

Psalms 73

“Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. 24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever. 27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.” Psalms 73:23-28

Drawing Nigh (close) to God Afresh

“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.” James 4:6-10

Fresh Start with God

You can Have a … Jesus is the Great Shepherd of His Sheep (Heb. 13:20; Lk. 15) A FRESH START WITH GOD (First, if you are not certain that you are genuinely born again, please go here first) Let’s get something straight…. the disciple, the mere man writing this message is more in need of JESUS than anyone who ever lived! No one needs Jesus more than I do and yet, we must do things HIS way, not our own (Ephesians 3:8). “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs […]

Loving and Coming to the Light [podcast]

Recorded at a home fellowship. The first part of the audio reverberates then clears up. Father we come to You in the name of Jesus. Expose the darkness in our hearts and lives and deliver us in Jesus’ name. In Jesus’ name, Amen. May God vanquish all darkness in our own hearts, filling, flooding us with His holy light. “Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!” John 1:47 “HAVING NO PART DARK” “If thy whole body therefore be full of light, HAVING NO PART DARK, the whole […]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD [podcast]

MAKING PEACE WITH GOD Are you ready to Pass from Death to Life? God desires to pardon you – before it’s too late. Jesus beckons you to “Come unto me” — while you can (Matthew 11:28-30). “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 GOD sees all sin and will either forgive or […]

Out of the Mouth of Babes – “What is Love?” Hilarious. Revealing [podcast]

Hilarious and heart warming: What these precious children say will have you laughing and perhaps crying.

“What a blessing this was to my heart! My favorite was the 4 year old white sat on his neighbors lap! Phew! We could learn so much from children about love. They aren’t judgmental. There arms are open wide to give and receive love.” Karen Cochran

Jesus says that we are to be “converted” and also to “become as little children.” (Matthew 18:3-4)

Our LORD Jesus, the greatest Servant says:

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

This “greater love” of our Creator, Jesus Christ, was busy blessing each of us in our mother’s womb.

Reading 1 Corinthians 13 today will refresh your heart and mind on the divine importance placed upon LOVE. Share.

Recently it occurred to me…. That the younger the child, the less corrupted they are by this world and the closer they are to God, as in they were more recently in the womb, being fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139).

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!” Psalms 139:13-17

“Out of the Mouth of Babes” is a Scripture and an idiom, a biblical idiom that teaches us that the young and innocent are often unexpectedly wise. This term originates in the Old and New Testaments. The Book of Psalms (8:2) has God ordaining strength out of the mouths of babes and sucklings; the Gospel of Matthew (21:16) has praise emerging from the same source.

“And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 18:3-4

What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids? How do they define love? (by an unknown guest)

“The problem is; We look for someone to grow old together with, While the secret is to find someone to stay a child with!” (Charles Bukowski)

What does Love mean to 4-8 year old kids?

Slow down for a few minutes to read this…💕

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, ‘What does love mean?’ The answers they got were broader, deeper, and more profound than anyone could have ever imagined!

‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore… So my grandfather does it for her 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 mouth.’ 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.’ Karl – 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.’ Chrissy – 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 8

‘Love is what’s in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and just 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: 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.’ (This made me cry!)

Now, take a few seconds and post this for others to inspire and spread Love like butter!

And then go be a child again today!
