{#PenToPaper not only encourages young adults with chronic illness; it also provides the inspiration to write letters to classmates, friends, and loved ones to remind them that they are not alone.

{Chronic Joy blesses me through prayer, email, and [#PenToPaper mailings] cards. I have two adult children on the autism spectrum, who struggle to find their place (even in church) in our uncompassionate world.

{Thank for the cards and info you sent me to Finland. I received them yesterday just before we had visitors. I shared stories from Chronic Joy®, especially about Bettie G. I felt the lady needed some encouragement, so I have a card and the info you sent. They were returning home to Sweden. Their summer cottage is in Finland. Thank you for all you do for all of us!

{As a young person dealing with with many chronic illnesses, it can be all too easy to feel isolated. I'm so grateful for Chronic Joy reminding me I'm not alone at all. Scrolling the Prayer Pond, using the Printables, and seeing the daily social media posts all encourage me so much. I especially love the #PenToPaper program. I know how much fun it is to receive a letter or postcard when I'm not able to get out much, and #PenToPaper makes it easy to share the love with others!

{Tonight, after a very long day, I finally got around to the mail and in an unexpected envelope [#PenToPaper packet] was the most extraordinary gift and blessing. When you talk about using your trials to minister, serve, inspire, encourage, love … I do not deserve this gift, but I needed it desperately today and God knew I would and He used you … yet again, to encourage and bless me. You have brought me to tears but they were the kind of tears that encouraged me and blessed me and inspired me … to share life and discover hope. Thanks are not enough … but thank you.

{Chronic Joy has given me a lifeline. I don't feel forgotten. I have been reminded that regardless of my circumstances, I still have worth and matter to others; most importantly, I can show others that they also matter. I've been given a format for self-expression and creativity that has given me the courage to put #PenToPaper.  I have cautioned those I've told about Chronic Joy not to be overwhelmed by the depth and scope of information that is covered and the excitement that ensues when you know they are cognizant of the trials and hurts that have been your daily walk.
