Parenting Inspiration: Actions Make the Difference

Many times as parents we don't realize our actions can be so much louder than words. Here is a, inspiration quote I found on how much our actions can affect our kids lives, even when we think they may not be looking.

When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking
– Unknown

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you hang up my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I thought 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 knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I believed there is a God I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn’t looking, I felt you kiss me goodnight, and I felt loved.

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 LOOKED… and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn’t looking.

I ran across the above quote and it touched me very much. Many times as parents we don’t realize our actions can be so much louder than words. It is not necessary what you say, but what you do that makes all the difference in the world of your children. Give your child a hug today. Peace and love on this Wonderful Day – Kevin @ More4kids.
