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 hear! d you say a prayer,
and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and
I learned to trust in God.

*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 somethingshould 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
or friend) influence the life of a child.

How will you touch the life of someone today?


A friend of mine sent this to me the other day.
I liked it and it is so very true!
