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 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 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 alright 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.'

Each of us(parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, teacher or friend) influences

the life of a child. How will you touch the life of someone today?
