This gorgeous bracelet draws on Proverbs 3, 5-7 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understand.  Acknowledge Him in all your ways, and He will make your paths straight."

The fine silver plate (99% pure silver, more pure than sterling) has been created and stamped by hand with the partical Proverbs verse. The plate is riveted to a comfortable wide leather strap in dark brown, and two pearlized snap closures offen an adjustable fit.

"You'll shoot your eye out, kid".  Who can forget Santa saying those words when Ralphie asked for an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two Hundred Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

Made and donated by a 6 year old former orphan from India who now has a passion for helping current orphans in India.... and whose parents have sat down and watched Elf with her many times.

Kisses from Katie Donation

Auctions for a Cause believes Kisses from Katie is such a powerful and inspirational book that we're personally donating a new copy to the SCH Auction.

********************************************

What would cause an eighteen-year-old old senior class president and homecoming queen from Nashville, Tennessee, to disappoint her parents by forgoing college, break her little brother’s heart, lose all but a handful of her friends (because the rest of them think she has gone off the deep end), and break up with the love of her life, all so she could move to Uganda, where she knew only one person but didn’t know any of the language?

A passion to make a difference.

Katie Davis left over Christmas break her senior year for a short mission trip to Uganda and her life was turned completely inside out. She found herself so moved by the people and children of Uganda that she knew her calling was to return and care for them. She has given up a relatively comfortable life—at a young age—to care for the less fortunate of this world. She was so moved by the need she witnessed, she's centered her life around meeting that need. Katie, a charismatic and articulate young woman, is in the process of adopting 13 children in Uganda, and she completely trusts God for daily provision for her and her family.

Despite the rough conditions in which Katie lives, she has found a life of service to God to be one of great joy. Katie's children bring constant delight and help her help others by welcoming whoever comes to their door. As the challenges grow, so does Katie's faith and her certainty that what she's doing in Uganda, one person at a time, will have far-reaching rewards. It isn't the life she planned, but it is the life she loves.


Katie Davis, now 22, is more than fascinating, she's inspiring, as she has wholeheartedly answered the call to serve.

New Donations In Honor Of.... Honor

We were so touched when we received these new donations earlier today.  Our words won't do them justice, so we'll let Deanne tell you what she told us...

"When Honor came to live at Sarah's Covenant Homes, she was wearing a scarf around her head to cover part of her face.  But within hours of being at SCH, she removed the scarf. For the 1st time in her life, she feels accepted for who she is and doesn't feel the need to hide her face anymore.  I think the act of Honor removing her scarf represents what each child experiences at SCH.  This is huge... loving children for who they are and showing them God's love... and watching the transformation that takes place.  This is what SCH is. This is what we are supporting.

All of the items below were handmade with love by Deanne, daughters Shaina and Sage, and mother-in-law Gloria. Items can also be purchased at White Stone Soup, with all proceeds going towards a family trip to SCH this summer!


21 inch one size fits all paisely bandana with matching doll/stuffed animal size bandana.  Pictures of Honor included (but are not part of the actual bandana).

21 inch one size fits all camo bandana. Pictures of Honor included (but are not part of the actual bandana).
