Be our Writer of the Month!
We know your highest motive for sharing a story is to give God the glory. Amen! And everyone who shares a story quickly receives personal a Thank You note from us by e-mail.
But we wanted to additionally offer a small token of gratitude -- "a little happy" -- just because. So every month, we select a TOUCHEDBYTHEHANDOFGOD.COM Writer of the Month by random drawing.
Each monthly honoree is recognized on the site and will receive a free mug with our logo (take a look at it in our Shop). No purchase will ever be necessary to qualify, and you can easily Opt Out when you're submitting a story to the site. It's your choice. Either way, thanks for sharing!
