Get Involved

Use Your Grace Gifts!

How has God gifted you? Where do you feel His gentle nudge to love one another – His tug to get involved? We are always #BetterTogether. Use your grace gifts! Get involved in Chronic Joy today.

WELCOME! WE’RE SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE!

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

At Chronic Joy, we believe every life is vital, precious, and purposed by God for His great glory.

We also believe that we are always #BetterTogether. Life with chronic illness, mental illness, chronic pain, or disability can be challenging and difficult, but that’s exactly why we need one another.

If you feel the Spirit’s nudge to get involved, lean into His calling, for He’s already preparing a place for you.

5. PRAYER SHAWLS

Do you knit or crochet? Prayer shawls are blessings of kindness, comfort, and compassion, stitched with prayer and gifted to those who are struggling with illness, pain, anxiety, depression, loneliness, loss, or grief – as well as those who are hospitalized, recovering from surgery, or facing prolonged treatments. We offer free downloadable patterns for prayer shawls and facecloths.

6. ASK GENEROUS QUESTIONS

Asking generous questions takes courage, curiosity, and gentle tenderness but also connects us in transformational ways. Need a little inspiration? We’ve got several free printables:  Questions of Jesus, 76 Questions for Couples, and Ask Generous Questions.

7. OFFER A SMILE

“Small actions of love are the very definition of humbly serving one another.” (Pamela Piquette in Love in Action) There’s no better place to begin!

In kindness, [God] takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change. (Romans 2:4)
