What does it look like? Well, I decided it was okay that I had not done the classes or changed anything on social media for a while. Now it’s like I have time and energy to work and update items. I have found my grandfather’s bible, and I preached with it last Sunday. Soon, I’m taking my first vacation days in months that are for fun and not family. https://grantedgrace.org/blog/balance-what-does-it-mean-to-bring-you-joy monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/1686877343974-0CBL8FVNQQM0I823OFW2/balance+%281%29.png Blog - Balance: What does it mean to bring you Joy? - Let’s talk about finding activities to be in balance.

Typically, all our Christmas decorations are down by Valentine’s Day. Well, let’s just say due to a lot of different reasons, some because I am a control freak with how the ornaments go up, we just got the tree put away (in the middle of June). I would normally have been my own worst judge about having my tree still out and beating myself up, but I chose to give myself grace about it, because life was crazy this winter. I looked at the tree as a sign of hope. I also had major surgery not too long ago. I have not healed as quickly as I would have liked. I have not been kind in my head to myself. Very judgmental, no grace at all. It took several church ladies saying something to for something else the PA at the clinic said to sink in and my mindset to change and for me to start giving myself some grace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/1686874340011-AR8V54WZACI2F7A6V3P2/IMG_0106.jpg Blog - Why Granted Grace? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/1686874338284-AUQJR7JSH3ZWKCOSVAZZ/IMG_3358.jpg Blog - Why Granted Grace? https://grantedgrace.org/blog/sympathy-and-empathy monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/62513ae7-ea12-4901-a0b1-a8ee5a848682/11329808_10203963430181603_41859986333243677_n.jpg Blog - Loss: Empathy Vs.

Sympathy - My challenge to you: When you ask, “How are you today?” have time to hear the real answer. Think about what you say when you know what people are going through. Be okay with the fact you can’t fix everything.

It has 12 chapters, and it is called “The Serenity Prayer: A Simple Prayer to Enrich Your Life.” I am grieving the loss of much this season, for the church I work at has voted to leave the UMC, and as I said, I am a called ordained Deacon in the UMC. I won’t promise when or how many posts I’ll make, but I will blog about how the chapters of Hudson’s book are moving me and, my hope is, drawing me closer to God during this time. https://grantedgrace.org/blog/lent-2023 monthly 0.5 2023-02-23 https://grantedgrace.org/blog/grief-loss-group-individual monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/1675345110388-M8SLQJD7UAJBWR7JEA02/Picture8.jpg Blog - Loss: Group Vs Individual https://grantedgrace.org/blog/advent-christmas-season monthly 0.5 2023-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62eec961c27a2e3a90a0cb60/0ad093cf-231c-47a3-a335-84dee233843f/PXL_20221229_142807249.PORTRAIT.jpg Blog - Advent: Christmas Season - Images By: Jennifer We are now in the final part of the season of Christmas.
