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 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
