The problem is: We look for someone to grow old together, 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!)

THE FORMATION OF MAN In the original Hebrew, there is a significant difference between the creation of Adam and Eve. When Adam is created, the verb yatzar (יצר), meaning “He fashioned,” is used. This term, often associated with a potter shaping clay, is the default word for divine creation and appears multiple times in Genesis. WOMAN: A MASTERPIECE OF CREATION Eve’s creation, however, uses a different verb: banah (בנה), meaning “He built.” This is the only instance in the Bible where "build" refers to creation. Why is this significant? The verb banah (בנה) is closely related to binah (בינה), which means “intelligence.” This connection highlights that Eve was not created as inferior to Adam. On the contrary, from the very beginning, women were endowed with a profound sense of knowledge and understanding, underscoring their unique and elevated role in creation. CONNECTION TO THE MESSIAH Isaiah foretold the coming Messiah, stating, “A shoot shall grow out of the stump of Jesse: the spirit of the Lord shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding (binah)” (Isaiah 11:2). Just as Eve was built with binah, the Messiah would embody this divine spirit of wisdom and understanding. In this way, Eve set the stage for future generations of empowerment, becoming a symbol of wisdom and strength echoed in the life of the Messiah.
