The Akridge Sunday School Class

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day...Jeff & Becky Floyd taught the class and it was a wonderful lesson about being a Godly Mother and he read this wonderful poem and I wanted to share it with everyone...

When you thought I wasn't looking - Anonymous

When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang 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 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 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.
