Chronic Hope


Why "chronic hope" ? The Free Merriam-Webster dictionary defines chronic as " marked by long duration or frequent recurrence". I named this blog Chronic Hope as it is my intention that this will be a place where hope, encouragement, compassion and understanding will be the heart of this site.

This is a place for people in all parts of the journey of life.

The Hope of What Awaits...

"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18 NRSV


As you know by now, the theme of Chronic Hope is to give hope to folks dealing with long-term illnesses, and to focus on God's presence and hope in the midst of our day to day lives.  Part of that hope, however, comes from a promise that is beyond us...that awaits for us...and that we, too, await. 

When I first heard the following song, I was driving in my car, and had to pull over.  Sometimes... yes, friends, sometimes...there are those who can give us a glimpse of what awaits. Those of us wearied by chronic illness need that hope to flood our hearts too...

May the Lord's amazing, beautiful, comforting, life-giving hope  surround and fill you today~
