SPARK ⭕ World on his shoulders

SPARK ⭕ World on his shoulders

July 01, 2024

During COVID, my father lost his job. Thankfully, he is back to work now. I am only 25 years old and felt like I had the world on my shoulders taking care of my family. I was supporting my grandparents and father. Things are getting better slowly but the past few days have been tough on me emotionally. I have found myself in tears daily from both financial and health issues.

Today there was a ray of sunshine that came my way! I went in to see a patient and without even knowing I am going through a rough patch, she gave me a seed of happiness. She gave me one for myself and one to give.

As soon as she handed them to me, I wanted to burst into tears. It was like God was calling to me saying to be happy!

Everything will be ok. It really brought a smile to my face and I will use this seed to remind me to be happy because life is beautiful!

SPARK ⭕ Kids give smiles too

Our soon to be 7 year old grandson called last night and asked if there was any way we could buy him some Seeds of Happiness for his birthday, that's all he wants for his birthday. He said he knew they were expensive but he really would like to have them for his birthday. Tonight, Wyatt called back & asked if we had checked out the website, when Grampy told him we had ordered them, Wyatt almost cried he was so happy. This is all he wants for his birthday, now his mother is wondering why she spent the money on an i-pad when all she had to do was order her son some Seeds of Happiness.

SPARK ⭕ Smiles and grief

July 02, 2024

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!
