A MESSAGE EVERY ADULT SHOULD READ
BECAUSE 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.'   

THIS IS FOR ALL OF YOU
WHO  DO SO MUCH FOR  OTHERS,   
BUT THINK THAT NO ONE EVER  SEES.

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.
