Small but mighty

ASPIRE is small but mighty.  I have been  networking more in the past couple of weeks.  I attend the meetings and the events, I realize that we are a small organization compared to some in the community.  We are serving so many people in need and changing lives everyday from our students, to our volunteers and staff.  It is amazing to watch the transformation of our participants as they sit a top of a horse or interact with our mini's.  ASPIRE is small but we are doing amazing work.  Please don't ever underestimate what you can learn and gain from the small places.

I have been watching the news with all the flooding going on.  I watch as the media centers on Houston and all the people, but there are small towns that are just out there surviving and helping each other just as much as Houston.  Don't get me wrong they are all in my prayers, each individual and animal not matter where they are in the flood waters.

I am truly touched by the shear numbers of neighbor helping neighbor.  When it comes to very small organizations like ASPIRE we need lots of help to keep us moving forward.  It is everyone coming together to make us mighty.  When I thought about donations for Hurricane Harvey I chose the small organizations that were truly trying to make a difference.  ASPIRE truly works hard to make a difference.  Our animals work hard to touch everyone's life.  Please make sure you are keeping your eyes open to the great things that we do.

I hope you will attend the Night of the Horse, Sept 23rd.  It is a wonderful night of entertainment. As we move forward we will once again have our Halloween Open House with hay rides, haunted barn and lots more.  Volunteer Recognition will happen in November.  Wow this year is flying by.  Join us in helping with classes, donating to help keep our horses, help with events.  It is with awesome pleasure that we stand tall and move this program forward.  ASPIRE is truly SMALL but MIGHTY.

God is opening doors and he is reaching out and guiding us all!  Have a wonderful day and blessing and prayers to all in need.
