What if every person you encounter in your daily life was holding a sign in their hands that said: “Please give me a word of encouragement”. Would it make a difference in how you treat them? We never know what someone may be going through, or the challenges they are dealing with. At Seeds That Bless, we believe you can make a difference in the lives of others, by giving words of encouragement and hope on a business size card that has an inspirational or motivational thought on it. The words on these cards are like a Seed, that we plant in the hearts and minds of those we give them to. A small reminder that someone cares, that they...
The Unexpected Blessing - Have you ever received a blessing or gift that you didn’t expect? This recently happened to me at an event I where I was invited to come and share our Seeds That Bless cards. The event was put on by a ministry called, Crown Him Presents.

I started to think about not attending and just staying home to rest. But...

They turned and left the business and were walking down the sidewalk when they heard someone behind them shouting, “Sir, Sir”....
"Don't let your busyness crowd out the needs of others today." It was an ordinary Tuesday. My son, Doug and I were running errands which included picking up a few groceries at the local market, where we shop a couple times a week. While we waited in line to check out, we were chatting with each other about plans for the rest of the day. I said “hello” to the cashier, and continued to put my items on the conveyor belt. I didn’t know the cashier’s name, but he was always friendly and almost always the one who would check me out when I got groceries. When he didn’t respond to my hello, I turned around and continued to talk...
Welcome to the Seeds That Bless Blog This blog is intended to inspire and encourage everyone reading it to become more outwardly focused, to make personal connections and look for ways to bless others. Here is a personal story, that I experienced recently with Seeds That Bless Cards. I could hear him above the small talk in a crowded waiting area full of passengers waiting for the departure of their train from Chicago Union Station. His voice was loud and annoying. I watched him as he moved from person to person yelling, “Do you want to see some pictures?". If they declined, he would try again saying, “Hey do you know what this is?", pulling what looked like a small...
