Happy Mother's Day to the incredible moms raising children facing autism 💙🌷

Your days are filled with advocacy, patience, unconditional love, endless strength, and celebrations that others may never fully see — but we see you.

You are the calm in the chaos, the safe place, the voice, the comfort, and the biggest champion for your child. The love you pour out every single day is extraordinary.

Today we celebrate YOU and all that you do for your families. Thank you for trusting us to walk alongside your journey.

From all of us at Elijah’s Retreat — Happy Mother's Day to the moms who love fiercely and never give up. 💐

🤠🐎 **Extraordinary Junior Rodeo – Where Every Kid Gets to Shine!** 🐎🤠

Mark your calendars for an unforgettable morning of smiles, courage, and cowboy fun!

📅 **Saturday, May 9, 2026**
⏰ **8:00 - 10:00 AM**
📍 **Cherokee County Show Barn – Jacksonville, TX**

The **Junior Rodeo for Exceptional Kids** is a special event created just for children with special needs across Cherokee County and surrounding areas. This is more than a rodeo—it’s a chance for every child to step into the arena, try new things, and feel celebrated every step of the way. 💛

Each participant is paired with their very own **Rodeo Buddy**, helping them experience exciting events like:
🐴 Riding a horse
🎯 Roping a steer head
🏇 Stick horse races
🌟 Barrel racing
🤡 And even meeting a rodeo clown!

This day is all about building confidence, creating memories, and reminding these incredible kids (and their families) that they belong, they are capable, and they are extraordinary.

📞 To register or learn more, contact **Melody Walters at 903-284-0010**

Let’s pack the stands, cheer loud, and support these amazing families. You won’t want to miss it! ❤️🤠
