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.

Some Days...

"And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."   Philippians 4:7   NRSV

Some days...  just hurt.
Some days... we don't hurt, and we're not sure why.
Some days... are just grumpy.
Some days... we do our best just to not lose ground.
Some days... we lose ground anyway...
Some days... we get tired of fighting.
Some days... we feel like we can take on the world.
Some days... we wake up wondering how we're going to make it through another day.
Some days... we are surprised by the kindness of others
Some days... our health takes a turn and we have no idea why.
Some days... we experience most or all of the above in the same day.
Every day...no matter what we face, we are held in the tender, compassionate love of God.

Gentle God, you know what we face...some days. Help us to know that peace which passes all understanding, and to know your presence and care every day.  Amen.
