Operation Princess.....


Operation Princess
Ever want to do something to make a difference? Ever wanted to know that you were a part of something bigger, something grander, something sweeter than you could have ever dreamed? Ever wanted to swoop in and make someone feel like a princess? Well, here is your chance!! ~Sarah lives in India with her husband and three kids. They run India Christian Ministries, and Sarah "adopts" children from government institutions and places them in various homes that she's set up in her area. We're not talking healthy, robust children here. Sarah has a heart for those who are left behind... those with severe mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, birth defects - those who were never adopted from an orphanage and "aged out" and were put into institutional care.There's Rachel - who's leg was in a cast for so long - who was never taken of - and who now needs an amputation.There's little Noah, who has scoliosis, whose hip is out of joint and who has bilateral microphthalmia.There's Promise - sweet Promise - who most likely laid on her back on a bare floor for the last 14 years. She is blind and has so many health problems that I wouldn't know where to begin. Was she ever held? Did anyone ever wipe her tears and tell her she was beautiful? That she is loved?Sarah does just that. She takes these kids and see them how Jesus sees them. And she doesn't just put them in homes - she takes care of them. She makes sure that they have access to the best possible resources - OT, PT, Speech Therapy, Special Education - and all the operations they need to help them have a full life.She fights for them.Loves them.Grieves for them.Cares for them.42 of them. All wonderfully made in the eyes of the Lord.Today, Sarah started Operation Princess. Her latest three posts are about this new endeavor. You can find Sarah's full blog HERE .Please read about Operation Princess.If anyone has a dress to donate, please contact Leslie at lesliebucknerthomas@yahoo.comLeslie is hoping to collect as many dresses as possible to send toSarah so that these wonderful, beautiful girls can feel pretty and special. Because they ARE.And while you're at it, please look through Sarah's entire blog. It is truly an act of God. You will be amazed.Please feel free to put this on your blog and get the word out and let's help these precious little ones not only look beautiful but feel the love!!! :0)
