On the Horizon

The Next Step

and A Proverbs 31 Woman Wanna Be

proudly present their first-ever Group Writ­ing Project:

“I am thank­ful to be a Chris­t­ian because … ”

We invite you to read and be inspired by all of the won­der­ful sub­mis­sions included in this Group Writ­ing Project! Please take a moment to leave a com­ment let­ting the authors know how much you appre­ci­ate their efforts. Share some of the rea­sons why you are feel­ing grate­ful this Thanksgiving.

Here are the posts included in this Group Writ­ing Project:

  • e-Mom at Chrysal­lis is thank­ful that “Jesus has promised me a rich, abun­dant life in the present, and an unend­ing eter­nal life in the future.” She shares the “Top 13 Chris­t­ian Books Every Think­ing Chris­t­ian Should Own.” Check out her list and note how many of them are on your bookshelf.
  • My delight­ful co-sponsor, Sha­lene, at A Proverbs 31 Woman Wanna Be lit­er­ally uses her fin­gers to tick off five rea­sons she is thank­ful. “Being a Chris­t­ian has taken my focus off of myself, and put it on those around me,” she writes.
  • Tami, my other part­ner in this Project, is an ele­gant writer with a unique voice. She also shares her thoughts about thank­ful­ness with us, observ­ing that “[n]o mat­ter the cir­cum­stance, I can be happy.”
  • Donetta at A Life Uncom­mon explains why she is “thank­ful for a rela­tion­ship that is a friend­ship with God.”
  • Sandy Carl­son of Writ­ing in Faith also sub­mit­ted a post. Click here to read her arti­cle in which she describes her faith and chal­lenges us to look at our own: “Imag­ine it. With a glad and grate­ful heart, imag­ine it.”
  • Denise of Shorty Bear’s Place is well-known among Chris­t­ian blog­gers. She is a dear spirit, won­der­ful friend to us all, and needs our prayers this Thanks­giv­ing as she is not feel­ing well. Nonethe­less, she sub­mit­ted a post for this Project that will bring you to tears. Make sure that you stop by and read Denise’s tes­ti­mony.
  • JHS of Col­lo­quium explains that she is thank­ful she is a Chris­t­ian because she does “not know how to be any­thing else.” Click here to read her entry about grow­ing up in a Chris­t­ian home and main­tain­ing her faith over the years.
  • Lori at All You Have to Give describes in an elo­quent and heart-felt man­ner how Chris­tians are able to endure the chal­lenges of liv­ing in a world that can be “incred­i­bly bad.” Click here to read her devo­tional.
  • Dan King, aka Bible Dude, is thank­ful to be a Chris­t­ian, in part, because his faith makes him part of a com­mu­nity that, in his esti­ma­tion, might just approx­i­mate “what Heaven might be like.”

Feel free to copy the above list and pub­lish it on your own site. I’m sure that all of the par­tic­i­pants will appre­ci­ate your shar­ing their work with a wider audience!

Good luck with it! I’m not Chris­t­ian so I’ll guess I’ll have to skip this one ;)

This looks like a good writ­ing con­test. I can’t wait to read the responses!

Chris­t­ian pub­li­ca­tion on the inter­net seems to not be as preva­lent as nearly all other forms of content.

I am not a Chris­t­ian but almost all of my fam­ily are Chris­tians. I do think that they are thank­ful for being a Chris­t­ian because they think that they will be saved by there faith to God. I do think that being a Chris­t­ian is not just about your faith to God but what you are as per­son in a whole.
