~A Day Is Never Complete Without the Kindness We Show Each Other~

Here is a sweet poem I read today, author unknown... It just amazes me how as adults we don't realize that the simplest things we do are very impressionable to a child. From the things we make, to the things we say and the actions we do will remain in the soul of a child for a life time...I was just thinking this evening about my own child, to the children of my friends to my own nieces and nephews. Always try to spoil a child and always try to say yes as much as possible.

Remember when you were small and how happy or excited you became when the answer was "YES"... That smile in the eye of a child, or the twinkle in their eye... How easily they leave imprints on our hearts~ Celebrate the gift of a child today~ Remember to do the little things like; making their favorite snack, reading them a story, coloring, catching bugs & butterflies, giving a child a flower, rubbing their back, and most of all just remember to tell them how much you Love them... To my son, Cody I LOVE YOU... and to all of my nieces and nephews, and Alex butterfly kisses, and hugs...and Congrats to my friend Serena as she just gave birth to a new baby boy on Monday... Carson James... Welcome to the world Carson... You have a special mommy and a beautiful family that loves you... I can't wait to see him...

WHEN 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 o f
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? Just by
sending this to someone else, you will probably make
them at least think about their influence on others.
Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak
kindly.
Leave the rest to God
