PressPause p.s. 46.10 returned to the Little Lighthouse in Tulsa, OK Thursday evening May 12th, 2011. The occasion was a dinner honoring the parents of children graduating from the school for special needs. The graduates, age 6, have all spent several years at the school receiving very specialized training, therapy, prostheses, and social skills. PressPause volunteers included: Pam McDonnel, Patty Clay, Laura Francis, Carolyn Reiger, Sharon Braner and Cheryl Piper.
Marty Hight encouraged the parents by telling her story of her own daughters experience of transitioning from this very specialized school into the public school system. She encouraged them to seek God's plan for their precious children, to pray for His strength, guidance and protection as His will for them is revealed. She reminded everyone of the supernatural love, patience and faith exhibited by children with special needs.
Lighthouse President and CEO (and former Stonecroft speaker) Marcia Mitchell also encouraged the parents to pursue a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their hope and stability during this fearful time.
Thirty-four moms and dads, six volunteers and three Little Lighthouse staff enjoyed the home cooked meal and the evening of encouragement. This was the first time these parents have ever attended a Stonecroft event. PressPause is honored to have had the opportunity to serve these brave and beautiful parents.
