Smiles During Covid - Seeds of Happiness

Smiles During Covid

Smiles During Covid

July 11, 2020

I bought some Seeds of Happiness a year or so ago to share with my (then) staff nurses. Timing/situation was never right so I did not ever give them away.

I am now working in a nursing home that is dealing daily with the concerns and struggles related to Covid-19. The box of "seeds" spoke to me all weekend. I brought them to work with me yesterday and shared with my current co-workers.

I will admit I felt a little "cheesy", but continued to pass out my "smiles". The staff enjoyed them so much, they started coming to me. "Hey, can I get one of your smiles?" Finally, at the end of the day, I took my last one and gave it away. The response was, "Oh yay. I was hoping I would get one."

I just want you to know that you touched a lot of people by a simple piece of "throw away clay". I am probably the MOST blessed! God bless you in your journey! (We will definitely order more!)

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!!!"

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."
