If we love well, we know that our students will receive not only a wonderful education with therapeutic excellence, but also growth in confidence, friendships and joy. To experience the reality of this love, all you have to do is walk into a classroom and see how the teachers, therapists and volunteers interact with the children. What you will see is kindness, respect, celebration, joy, perseverance and an overflow of patience. “Love is large and incredibly patient. Love is gentle and consistently kind to all. ... Love does not traffic in shame and disrespect, nor selfishly seek its own honor. Love is not easily irritated or quick to take offense. Love joyfully celebrates honesty and finds no delight in what is wrong. Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up.” I Cor.13:4-7 The Passion Translation Bible Here’s to love, and here’s to the Little Light House!
