It was the first thing to make me smile since

It was the first thing to make me smile since

June 02, 2020

I lost my best friend to suicide a month ago today. I am usually a very happy girl. I smile all the time and know how to make others smile. But for around 2 weeks I just couldn’t bring myself to do so. Then my mom came home from work with a seed of happiness from one of her co workers for me and it was the first thing to make me smile since. I love what you guys are doing and thank you for bringing me my smile back. Keep on smiling!

Love,

Maggie, 17

SPARK ⭕ Seeds take away the loneliness and spread happiness Inbox

July 25, 2024

"As a Police Chaplin I have found that being a law enforcement officer is a lonely job. For most of their shift they are in a car by themselves with a police radio as their only communication. 

With that said, I have begun giving out Seeds of Happiness to any and all law enforcement personnel I come across. Whether they are at a restaurant or sitting in their police car the smile on their face is priceless when I have a bag full of seeds and I’m able to show my appreciation to them as I let them pick out a color send of their choice. 

My words of encouragement and their appreciation for their “seed” is a blessing to them as well as me. Some have been so taken by the kindness shown to them that they ask for another seed for a spouse or friend, what a way to spread happiness. 

So buy seeds of happiness, put them in a bag, carry them in your car and make someone’s day! Give a person a reason to smile today…. One seed at a time!!!"

SPARK ⭕ A surprise at a place setting lifts heavy hearts

July 24, 2024

"My 48 year old brother-in-law died very unexpectedly. He left behind 3 children ages 12-21. After his inurnment service we were all invited to my mom's for dinner. We walked into her house. The table was beautifully set with fine china and crystal. At each place setting was a "Seed of Happiness" it changed the whole trajectory of the remainder of the evening. They truly brought smiles to our heavy hearts. I decided right then and there, I needed to find out how to have these available for purchase in our church gift store."
