WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN'T LOOKING

As a mother some times we forget that our little ones are watching us I know I did.

Some times a little reminder is good. So I thought you all might enjoy this. I know that my sweet sisters live there lives as ex samples before there families. I know that you teach them about the Lord. All I wanted to do is remind us that there are many eyes on us not only our families. I read this and was reminded.

Children are watching you and doing as you do, not as you say.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I immediately wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make my favorite cake for me, and I learned that the little things can be the special things in life. When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I knew that there is a God I could always talk to, and I learned to trust in Him. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you give of your time and money to help people who had nothing, and I learned that those who have something should give to those who don't. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you take care of our house and everyone in it, and I learned we have to take care of what we are given. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw how you handled your responsibilities, even when you didn' t feel good, and I learned that I would have to be responsible when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking I saw tears come from your eyes, and I learned that sometimes things hurt, but it's all right to cry. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw that you cared, and I wanted to be everything that I could be. When you thought I wasn't looking I learned most of life's lessons that I need to know to be a good and productive person when I grow up. When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked at you and wanted to say,'Thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking.' LITTLE EYES SEE A LOT . Each of us (parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher, & friend) influences the life of a child. How will you touch the life of someone today?

Live simply. Love generously.

Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.
