My grandma passed away 6 days after my last post.

As I look back on that last post and what I said in it, I realize how easy it is to say and write those things down…but, in reality, it’s hard.

It’s hard to move forward, sometimes. It’s hard to get over things, sometimes. It’s hard to get up and do, sometimes.

I hadn’t written in over a month! It was hard for me to do much of anything for that month. Honestly, I would say I kind of fell in to a depression. I even gained 10 pounds in a month! (Thankfully, I have lost those now).

Life does get hard to handle and deal with. There are so many things that people are battling, that we have no idea about. And though it’s easy to judge by the outward appearance of things and people, most times we have no clue what’s going on, on the inside.                     The temptations and urges, the frustrations, depressions, strongholds. The battles we face. Everyone faces some sort of battle, whether outwardly or internally.

And, while it’s easy for us to judge, how about we just love.

How do we want to be loved in the situations we go through? How do we want to be treated and handled, while going through our battles? We all have them. Some we may never know.

Like my Pastor said in a message recently, ‘let’s show grace and mercy’.
