Tis the Season for giving!

Tis the season for giving!  Christmas is a time for giving gifts and sharing great stories. Christmas is a time spent with families and celebrating the birth of Jesus.   One of my favorite songs I heard recently is, Where's the Line to See Jesus?  Of course my favorite of all favorites is, Silent Night.   Where are our thoughts during this Christmas season.  I am guilty of buying to many gifts but it is the time of year to give.   As I have gotten older I ask my family not to give me gifts but to give the gift of a donation to ASPIRE.   As I have gotten older I realize that stuff is not so important.  It is the relationships that we build and maintain.  It is our attitude of gratitude!  It is our love for Jesus and mankind that are important.  As I have cleaned my house on this Christmas season and donated many totes to Goodwill and Salvation Army these donations cleansed my soul.   We don't need a house full of stuff.   All we need is the gift of love from those people we care about.  When you are considering what to give for this Christmas season I hope you will consider giving a donation to ASPIRE Therapeutic Riding Program.  The joy, love and laughter on the faces of the thousands of children that is served will melt your heart.  The beautiful horses will thank you thousands of times over.   Please consider your gift a blessing to all who enter our doors.   I wish for all of you a very blessed Christmas and a joyful, healthy new year.   Thanks so much ahead of time for your consideration of a donation to ASPIRE. www.aspiretrp.org
