Then it dawned on me that I have the smile seeds at home!

Then it dawned on me that I have the smile seeds at home!

August 30, 2015

Jodie I already shared one of my smiles with a neighbor who has cancer of the throat.  He has had major surgery to his mouth and chin and he is undergoing a new surgery next week with three surgeries involved where they are lifting his face from the neck up to his nose and doing major grafts and reconstruction.  He will not make eye contact with you when he talks to you because of his appearance.  I talked to him at length and told him he just needs to get this surgery behind him and he will have his smile back soon. 

Then it dawned on me that I have the smile seeds at home! 

I went and got one for him and wrote him a note that one day soon he will be cancer free and he will be smiling again from ear to ear and I can’t wait to have his smiling face looking back at me.  He was crying and gave me a hug and we stood there hugging and crying together… then his wife pulled up and we had to laugh about that!!!! LOL

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."
