Ep 65 Finding Joy When the Holidays are Hard

What if we were invited to savor the holidays, the moments of delight we initiated as well as the unforeseen joys, all as gifts from our Emmanuel?

For many, the holidays are full of reminders of pain and we either overschedule ourselves or numb, hoping not to pop up until after January 1st when all the painful nostalgia is over. Barb McMaster, a member of the Presence Project shares her practice of creating a delight list, the neuroscience of why it matters, and how we can experience God's joy in our joy.
