Because He’s Watching
I’m so thankful for the privilege and opportunity that I have to be a stay at home mom. I don’t take it for granted. I love being my baby’s momma, best friend (for now!), teacher, playmate and chef. I can’t imagine a better, fuller life.
Recently I read this poem…
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 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, 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 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, 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.”

But I know he is watching.
I must show him all these things.
Only by the grace of God.
I am overwhelmed with gratefulness to God for His abundant blessings.

What a beautiful poem! As mommies we have such a huge responsibility to teach by our actions (I know I don't know completely how that is yet since our baby isn't here yet). Thanks for sharing this!
What a sweet poem! Thanks for sharing this with us today!
Beautiful poem. You ARE very lucky to be a Stay @ Home Mom. When I become a mom, I want to stay @ home and homeschool. Too much is going on in the public school system today.
You are blessed!
Have a great day:)
