A mother asked her six-year-old what loving-kindness meant.       

“Well,” he said, “when I ask you for a piece of bread and butter and you give it to me, that’s kindness. but when you put jam on it, that’s Loving-Kindness.”                  
~Chicago Tribune

“Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.” 

Psalm 63:3
