Gratitude Devotional

Attention Sunrise Christian Writers. This opportunity is just for you! Are you grateful for an experience, accomplishment or relationship? Has God moved in your heart and filled you with gratitude? Think how your story could inspire someone else to appreciate golden opportunities and blessings. Write a devotional story about gratitude and base it on a Scripture from the Psalms or Proverbs. Submit it to Sunrise Christian Writers for their third annual anthology titled “Gratitude.”
