THEY WERE WATCHING???

These were the three precious people that God trusted me with and when you are young you have so much to learn.....but as I am about to become a great-grandmother for the first time I realize a great deal more about how I lived my life......I now realize your children, grandchildren and soon to be great-child are watching me and doing as I do, not as I 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 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 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'."
      All you have to do to see how a person is..... is to look at what kind of parents and family he had growing up.....WOW
