A NOTE FROM BRYAN

Cultivating an attitude of thankfulness isn’t always an easy feat. Often times, we take for granted the opportunities, people, and experiences that have made us who we are today and what we value most in life. One of the ways Jesus shows His love for us is through the things, people, and opportunities He gifts to us. This kind of love is the kind we want to share with all people. Sometimes, it’s helpful to slow down, take a look around and remind ourselves to cultivate gratitude, and then take that feeling and let it drive us toward compassion for others. Try making a list of things you’re thankful for today, or take a moment to read about just a few of the opportunities we provide for you to give back to your community to cultivate a posture of gratitude in your own lives.

GALLOPING TOWARDS SUCCESS

We love Tuesdays with Healing Reins. Our Elevate Kids are learning patience, courage, perseverance and other important character qualities through horse therapy at Dogwood Ranch!
