What is love?

From Ponderings of a Crazy Calvinist:

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.

My favorites:

As an example of selflessness
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

How to love our enemies
If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. Nikka - age 6

As an example of looking toward our Father for encouragement and strength
During my piano recital, I was on a stage and I was scared. I looked at all the people watching me and saw my daddy waving and smiling. He was the only one doing that. I wasn't scared anymore. Cindy - age 8

Best definition of "hallowed by Your name"
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
