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.
