Can't Live A Day Without You

Slow down for three minutes to read this.

It is so worth it.

What does Love mean?

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 and deeper than

anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

____

"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 (I love this one)

_____

"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 (How true)

_____

"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."

Dan ny - age 7

_____

"Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get

tired of kissing, you still want to be together and

you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that. They

look gross when they kiss"

Emily - age 8

_____

"Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if

you stop opening presents and listen."

Bob by - 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)

_____

"Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt, then

he wears it everyday."

Noelle - age 7

_____

"Love is like a little old woman and a little old man

who are still friends even after they know each other

so well."

Tommy - age 6

_____

"Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of

chicken."

Elaine-age 5

_____

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy smelly and sweaty and

still says he is handsomer than Robert Redford."

Chris - age 7

_____

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after

you left him alone all day."

Mary Ann - age 4

_____

"I know my older sister loves me because she gives me

all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new

ones."

Lauren - age 4

_____

"When you love somebody, your eyelashes go up and down

and little stars come out of you."

Karen - age 7 ( what an image)

_____

"Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she

doesn't think it's gross."

Mark - age 6

_____

"You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean

it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot.

People forget."

Jessica - age 8 ( I think we just assume people

know we love them )

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"

______

When there is nothing left but God that is when you

find out that God is all you need.

This song is my longest most favorite Christian song by AVALON. I used to sing and play it everyday. This never fails to make me cry.

This time I realized that more than my desire to be with God, God's desire to be with us is even far far greater. As you listen to the song, as passionate as it is, God's intense desire to be with us is even greater.

The next song after I CAN'T LIVE A DAY is my 2nd most favorite song by AVALON. The song I DON'T WANT TO GO speak volumes about making wise decisions everyday. This too is a must memorize and must take it to heart song

I CAN'T LIVE A DAY- Avalon

I could live life alone

And never fill the longings of my heart

The healing warmth of someone's arms

And I could live without dreams

And never know the thrill of what could be

With every star so far and out of reach

I could live without many things

And I could carry on, but...

CHORUS

I couldn't face my life tomorrow

Without Your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You

I could travel the world

See all the wonders beautiful and new

They'd only make me think of You

And I could have all life offers

Riches that were far beyond compare

To grant my every wish without a care

Oh, I could do anything, oh yes

But if You weren't in it all...

I couldnt face my life tomorrow

Without your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You

Oh, Jesus, I live because You live

You're like the air I breathe

Oh, Jesus, I have because You give

You're everything to me

I couldnt face my life tomorrow

Without your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You

I couldnt face my life tomorrow

Without your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You






______

I DON'T WANT TO GO - Avalon

You changed my world

When You came to me

You drove a passion

In my soul down deep

Lord, to follow You in everything

I don't want to go somewhere

If I know that You're not there

'Cause I know that me without You is a lie

And I don't want to walk that road

Be a million miles from home

'Cause my heart needs to be where You are

So I don't want to go

So come whatever

I'll stick with You

I'll walk, You'll lead me

Call me crazy or a fool

For forever I promise you that...

repeat chorus

Without Your touch

Without Your love

Filling me like an ocean

For Your grace is enough

Enough for me

To never want to go somewhere

If I know that You're not there
