Luke 17 (excerpts)
Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
Jesus Heals Ten Men With Leprosy
11 Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance 13 and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!”
14 When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed.
15 One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. 16 He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan.
17 Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” 19 Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

Praise GOD!
I will never forget this account of the (10) men with leprosy whom Jesus healed but only (1) went back to praise and thank Him. It has been ingrained in me because this was when my Ram and I attended for the first time a Vacation Bible School in our church- First Christian Church. Ms. Amy, one of the mentors, instilled on the kids how to "bubble-up with gratefulness/ thankfulness" by showing a simple science experiment of bubble bath shampoo being blown through a straw in a cup covered with tissue. That VBS was truly a great way of leading the children to Jesus :)
Thankfulness.....gratefulness.....appreciation.....overflowing gratitude.....however you call it, has been my foundation since I was a child with my walk with our Loving Lord. I never stopped thanking Him for everything, and much more today, I will never stop thanking Him for letting me be in His light. Such thankfulness will be forever in me until the time I will be united with Him in heaven :)
May we never grow tired of thanking our Loving Lord all the days of our lives, everyday, every moment, every breath.....
On thanksgiving:
Thanksgiving is the attitude and mindset in which we live, especially when we pray to God. As children of God, thanksgiving will fill our hearts and pour forth from our lips because we know, among other things, our sins are forgiven and we have eternal life through Jesus Christ. The more we contemplate what God has done for us, the more thankfulness just becomes a way of thinking in our relationship with God at all time, under all conditions and in all circumstances. Paul writes in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
May we all sing this beautiful song of thanksgiving to the Lord of Lords and King of Kings- Jesus Christ :)

Today is the day :)
If you have not received Jesus Christ yet in your heart, today is the day. May you embrace His love and His gift :)
"Lord Jesus, I believe You are truly the Son of God. I confess that I have sinned against You in thought, word, and deed. Please forgive all my wrongdoing, and let me live in relationship with You from now on. I receive You as my personal Savior, accepting the work You accomplished once and for all on the cross. Thank You for saving me. Help me to live a life that is pleasing to You. Amen." (ref prayer by: Mr. Charles Stanley)
