lWHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING
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.’
I AM SENDING THIS TO ALL OF THE PEOPLE I KNOW
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.
